Indus River Dam to Be World’s Greatest Project
The Loyd barrage on the Indus near Sukkar in Sind is touted as the world’s largest irrigation dam. Upon completion in 1930 it will span nearly a mile, with two bridges and 66 gates, powering a vast canal network irrigating up to 5 million acres and transforming Sind into a major granary for Britain and India. The Bombay government funds about 60 million dollars, with an expected net annual profit around 14 percent.

Building activity remains strong but autos and construction are expected to slow later in the year.
