By a letter of 29 March 1993 the Government of India asked the World Bank to cancel the remaining undisbursed portion of its loan for the Sardar Sarovar dam and power project, and decided to complete construction on its own. The World Bank announced the decision on 30 March and put the cancelled amount at about $170 million of a $450 million package approved in 1985. In October 1992 the Bank's Executive Directors had made continued support depend on benchmarks for resettlement and environment, to be met by 31 March 1993. The Bank had commissioned the independent review in June 1991; its President said in June 1992 that the review had identified deficiencies in the Bank's appraisal, in the borrower's implementation and in the Bank's supervision.
