Explanation: The Permanent Court of Arbitration rejected India’s objections and determined it is competent to consider matters under Kishenganga and Ratle hydroelectric projects.

• Kishanganga Hydroelectric Project is a run-of-the-river hydroelectric project that diverts water from the Kishanganga River to a power plant in the Jhelum River basin.
• Ratle Hydroelectric Project (Chenab River) is a hydroelectric power plant being built by India with a capacity of 850 MW.
• India has opposed it and contends that it is in contravention of the provisions of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT).
