This is a '''list of largest [[reservoir]]s in [[India]]''', including all artificial lakes with a capacity greater or equal to {{convert|1000000|acre feet|km3|lk=in}}. In terms of number of dams, India ranks fourth after [[List of dams and reservoirs in China|China]], [[List of dams and reservoirs in the United States|USA]] and [[List of dams and reservoirs in Russia|Russia]]. However per capita storage in India is only 225 cubic metres, which is far less compared to '''China'''(1,200 cubic metres),” Currently there are 4710 completed large dams and 390 are under construction.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cwc.nic.in/main/downloads/National%20Register%20of%20Large%20dams%202009.pdf |title=Statewise dams in India |accessdate=July 9, 2015 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721165130/http://www.cwc.nic.in/main/downloads/National%20Register%20of%20Large%20Dams%202009.pdf |archivedate=July 21, 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.cwc.nic.in/main/downloads/New%20NRLD.pdf | title=National register of dams in India | work=[[Government of India]] | accessdate=July 9, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160920223122/http://www.cwc.nic.in/main/downloads/new%20nrld.pdf | archive-date=September 20, 2016 | url-status=dead }}</ref> In India most of the dams are maintained by the State Governments while there are a few other organizations, namely, [[Bhakra Beas Management Board|Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB)]], [[Damodar Valley Corporation|Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC)]] and [[NHPC Limited|National Hydro Electric Power Corporation (NHPC)]] who also now own and operate dams.<br />
