VA Tech Wabag has secured a “mega” order worth over ₹1,000 crore from the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) to upgrade a 45 Million Litres per Day wastewater treatment plant in Kodungaiyur, Chennai.
The stock gained 3% following the order.
The deets: the project involves refurbishing and upgrading a tertiary treatment reverse osmosis (TTRO) plant that converts treated wastewater into high-quality industrial water.
Zoom out: cities across India are increasingly recycling wastewater for industrial use to reduce pressure on freshwater resources.
With industrial corridors like Manali–Ennore and Manali–Minjur expanding, plants like these help ensure industries get water without straining urban drinking supplies.
