Summary
Super Madi is a 44 MW Madi Khola run-of-river project under construction in Kaski district, separate from the upstream Upper Madi project.
Super Madi is a 44 MW run-of-river hydropower project under construction on the Madi Khola in Kaski district, Gandaki Province.
Significance
At 44 MW, Super Madi is a mid-sized project by Nepal's under-construction standards, but noteworthy for its location in the Madi River system — a tributary of the Seti Gandaki/Narayani system in western Nepal's hydropower-rich Gandaki basin. The Madi Khola valley in Kaski has seen successive rounds of hydropower development, with multiple projects operating or under construction in close proximity.
Context
Super Madi sits within the broader Gandaki basin development landscape, where projects must navigate the interactions between upstream-downstream water use, environmental flow requirements, and the transmission infrastructure needed to evacuate power from relatively remote valleys into the national grid.

Limitations & Controversies
The page distinguishes the asset and its basin context, but it does not verify current construction progress, commissioning schedule, final offtake arrangements, or cumulative flow and environmental constraints in the Madi Khola valley.
