With 291 TMCft recorded so far, the reservoir continues to receive water, largely from the upstream Singur project, which also broke its own inflow record this year.

The Singur multipurpose project in Sangareddy district has recorded its highest-ever inflow of over 200 TMCft, surpassing a 27-year-old record. Despite the surge, only 17.741 TMCft was stored due to restrictions imposed by the National Dam Safety Authority.
