The 38.07 MW Tila Hydroelectric Project—located at the border of Tila Rural Municipality in Jumla and Tilagupha Municipality in Kalikot—is projected to cost Rs 7.567 billion. The project includes a 7-meter dam on the Tila River and a 289-meter steel penstock pipe leading to a powerhouse. Electricity generated will be connected to the Jumla Bazaar substation via a 132 kV single-circuit line. Construction will require 7.585 hectares of land and is expected to create 30–320 direct local jobs.
