December 2027 is the official scheduled completion date (Deccan Chronicle^[3], 8 December 2025), with the agencies pushing to finish before the Godavari Pushkaralu in July 2027. Wikipedia's^[2] infobox instead expects July 2029. The pin keeps the official 2027 target its title is about, dated to the last day of that year, but as an estimate that later sources may not bear out.

Polavaram Irrigation Project Targets 2027 Completion

India's Polavaram multi-purpose dam on the Godavari river, one of the country's largest irrigation and hydropower projects, is racing toward completion under a Rs 12,157 crore central funding boost.

Andhra Pradesh and central agencies are racing to finish the Polavaram multi-purpose project before the Godavari Pushkaralu in July 2027, although the scheduled completion date is end of December 2027; officials say 80% of headworks are done^[3]
The command area is 7.2 lakh new acres plus stabilisation of 13.5 lakh acres; the Right Main Canal is almost complete and the Left Main Canal still in progress^[3]
The diaphragm wall was 78% done and land acquisition 91,127 of 100,099 acres; of 38,060 displaced families, 14,385 have been shifted and the rest are due by March 2027^[3]
Dam storage is about 124.2 tmc-ft at 41.11 m initial height and 194.6 tmc-ft at the final 45.72 m^[3]
Wikipedia lists the project as a National Project begun in 2003, with expected opening in July 2029, a 960 MW power station (12 x 80 MW) and a 194 tmcft reservoir^[2]
The first proposal dates to 1941 and the foundation stone to 1980; the Polavaram Project Authority was constituted in May 2014^[2]

The 8.4-km stretch is planned as the initial section". December is the last month of the year the pin already sat on, so the day stands at 31 December 2026 - now as the end of a named month rather than a bare year. The full Aerocity-Tughlakabad corridor follows later.
The first 8.4 km section of the Phase 4 Golden Line, from Tughlakabad to Sangam Vihar, is targeted to open in December 2026; the rest of the 29.785 km Delhi Aerocity-Tughlakabad corridor, 19 stations with 12 of them underground, follows in phases. By April 2026 civil work was 78 per cent done with five tunnel boring machines still at work, and trainsets had begun arriving at the modified Sarita Vihar depot.
