As we know energy demand is increasing day by day, so it is a dire need of this era to get know about new and modified sources of renewable energy. Renewable energy can be obtained by water, wind and solar energy etc. But our main focus is on hydro energy especially through Gravitational vortex hydro-turbine works on the principle of a vortex, it converts centrifugal head of vortex into shaft power. GVHT can generate electricity from renewable sources of energy. In a Gravitational vortex power plant, water enters a circular basin in tangential direction & energy is extracted from the free vortex using a turbine. The main advantages of GHVT are that it can generate electricity from the very low hydraulic head, it is environment friendly & it is economically & socially viable. It is a new and not well-developed technology to generate electricity from low-pressure water energy sources. Gravitational Water Vortex Hydropower Plant (GWVHP) is a new addition in the family of ultra-low head hydropower systems and is one of the emerging technologies that have special attention of academicians globally. In GWVHP, an artificially formed vortex rotates a co-axially placed turbine coupled with a generator thus producing electricity. However this paper focus specifically on the design and fabrication of hydraulic vortex turbine
