SPML Infra and its joint venture partner Shri Hari Infraprojects have bagged a ₹207 crore project from Rajasthan’s Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) in Jhalawar. Following the news, SPML’s shares jumped 8%.
What’s happening: the order includes construction of 3 wells, 3 water treatment plants that together can clean 118 million litres of water a day.
It also includes storage tanks that can hold 16.1 million litres of clean water and about 53 km of large water pipelines to carry the water.
For context, 118 million litres of water can sustain 2 lakh households or a mid-sized city per day.
Big picture: the contract falls under the Nonera Water Supply Project, which is designed to improve water infrastructure across the Kota and Bundi regions of Rajasthan.
The state faces acute water scarcity, with per-capita availability expected to fall to just 450 cubic meters by 2050. Initiatives like this are crucial in reducing that risk and supporting PHED’s goal of ensuring 100% access to safe drinking water by 2047.
