An order for the Design, Build and Operation (DBO) of a Water Treatment Plant (VVTP) with a capacity of 270 Million Litres per Day (MLD) at Jite, Raigad for City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Limited (CIDCO) has been placed with VA TECH WABAG (‘VVABAG’), a leading pure-play water technology Indian multinational group, for approximately Rs 420 Crore.
The future water needs of Navi Mumbai have been prepared for by this project. The proposed 270 MLD WTP will purify the water from Hetwane Dam before pumping it to the current Master Balancing Reservoir (MBR) at the Vihal location for further distribution.
The scope of the project includes Design, Engineering, Supply, Construction, Installation and Commissioning of the 270 MLD WTP including clear water pumping station within a period of 42 months from commencement and followed by Operation & Maintenance (O&M) for a period of 15 years.
The plant will use High Rate Clarifiers for the removal of high-suspended solids followed by Rapid Gravity Sand Filters along with disinfection by chlorine.
