What’s the News
According to the latest regulatory filings, VA Tech Wabag Limited secured a World Bank-funded order worth about Rs. 380 crores from the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB).
The project involves designing, engineering, construction and commissioning (EPC) of Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) with tertiary treatment facility, biogas generation, solar sludge drying beds and intermediate pumping stations, along with associated piping works. The EPC work is scheduled to be completed within 30 months from the commencement date, followed by 10 years of Operation and Maintenance (O&M) works.
These advanced WWTPs are located at four sites in Bommanahalli under the Karnataka Water Security and Disaster Resilience Program. By using advanced wastewater treatment technologies, the plants will produce high-quality water suitable for industrial reuse. This helps reduce the city’s dependency on freshwater sources, making a significant contribution to Bengaluru’s long-term water security.
The sludge generated during treatment will undergo anaerobic digestion to produce biogas, which will in turn power the operations of the plant. This circular approach lowers reliance on external energy sources, improves operational efficiency, and aligns with the city’s broader environmental goals.
