India's cities are facing a growing challenge: how to meet rising water demand without putting even more pressure on freshwater resources. A major step toward solving this challenge is taking place in Gurugram, Haryana, where nearly 27 million litres per day (MLD) of treated wastewater from the Behrampur Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) will be reused for horticulture, green spaces and replenishing ponds in Bhondsi and surrounding areas. The development is an important example of

Delhi’s ongoing struggle with wastewater pollution has once again highlighted a critical issue facing India’s rapidly growing cities: building sewage treatment plants is not enough—those plants must also consistently deliver properly treated water. A recent report from the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has found that nearly eight sewage treatment plants (STPs) in Delhi failed to meet prescribed discharge standards during July. The findings were based on testing car

Bhubaneswar has taken another important step towards better urban sanitation and water conservation with the commissioning of two new Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) at public toilet complexes near Bhubaneswar Railway Station and Jayadev Vihar. The new treatment facilities are designed to treat wastewater generated from these public toilet facilities. According to reports, each plant has a treatment capacity of 40 KLD (kilolitres per day). After treatment and disinfection, the

The Cauvery River is once again at the centre of an important environmental discussion—not only because of water sharing, but because of the growing need to protect the quality of the water itself. On 14 August 2026, Tamil Nadu’s Water Resources Department was reported to be preparing a Detailed Project Report (DPR) aimed at tackling pollution in the Cauvery, Vaigai and Tamirabarani rivers. The plan follows an allocation of ₹25 crore in the revised Budget and focuses on ident

Delhi’s wastewater management plans have received fresh attention as the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) informed the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that the tender process for four proposed sewage treatment plants is expected to be completed within two months. The proposed sewage treatment plants are planned at Fatehpur Beri, Ghitorni, Asola and Rangpuri to address wastewater treatment requirements in the Vasant Kunj catchment and nearby areas. According to the latest status submitted

India’s cities are growing faster than ever. New apartments are being built. New roads and commercial areas are expanding. Industrial and business activity is increasing. More people are moving into urban areas every year. But there is another side to this growth that often receives less attention: More people and more development also mean more wastewater. Every day, homes, apartments, offices, hotels, hospitals, schools, colleges, shopping centres and industries generate se

India is facing a wastewater challenge that deserves much more attention. A recent update on AMRUT 2.0 sewerage and septage-management projects has highlighted a major gap in the pace of wastewater infrastructure development. Out of 594 approved sewerage and septage-management projects, only 104 projects — around 17.51% — have been completed, while 398 projects remain under implementation. The approved projects have a combined value of approximately ₹68,309 crore. This is not

India's wastewater challenge is becoming impossible to ignore. As cities expand, populations increase and new residential, commercial and industrial developments come up, the amount of sewage generated every day is also increasing. This makes wastewater treatment infrastructure one of the most important requirements for India's future. A recent development in Amritsar, Punjab, has once again brought this issue into focus. Punjab has cleared a new 60 MLD (Million Litres per Da

India is facing a wastewater problem that can no longer be ignored. Every day, homes, apartments, hotels, hospitals, schools, colleges, offices, commercial buildings and industries generate enormous quantities of wastewater. Once this wastewater disappears into a drain, many people stop thinking about it. But where does it go? What happens when sewage is not properly treated? Can wastewater become a useful resource instead of a dangerous pollutant? And most importantly, why d

Looking for a Complete Sewage Treatment Plant Solution Without Managing Multiple Contractors? Installing a sewage treatment plant is not simply a matter of purchasing treatment equipment and placing it at a project site. A successful STP project requires proper design, engineering, civil construction, equipment selection, piping, electrical work, installation, testing, commissioning and ongoing technical support. This is where a turnkey sewage treatment plant solution becomes

Industrial parks, special economic zones (SEZs), and manufacturing hubs generate thousands of cubic meters of wastewater daily. Between worker dormitories, administrative blocks, canteens, and utility processes, managing sewage efficiently is both an operational necessity and a strict regulatory mandate. Traditional Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) often become a ongoing financial drain—demanding heavy daily chemical dosing, continuous power, frequent sludge handling, and dedic

The automobile manufacturing industry is one of the largest industrial sectors in the world.
