Constructing gandhi sagar dam was a necessity because other 3 dams in that area were not generating electricity compared to actual capacity. Performance upgrading of these dams has been neglected from past 63 years.

The dam sports a 115-MW hydroelectric power station at its toe, with five 23-MW generating units each providing a total energy generation of about 564 GWh. The water released after power generation is utilised for the irrigation of 427,000 hectares (1,060,000 acres) by the Kota Barrage, which is located 104 kilometres (65 mi) downstream of the dam, near the city of Kota in the state of Rajasthan.
