VA Tech WABAG has secured a medium-value order from the Delhi Jal Board for the design, construction and long-term operation of a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant in Delhi.

The project involves the design, engineering, construction and commissioning of a 17 MGD wastewater treatment plant at Mitraon, along with sludge dewatering facilities, pumping stations and associated pipeline works.

The plant is expected to be completed within 21 months and will use advanced wastewater treatment technologies aimed at improving urban sanitation, supporting cleaner waterways and enhancing Delhi’s environmental sustainability. The facility will also feature odour control systems, green landscaping and energy-efficient operations.

Following commissioning, WABAG will undertake operations and maintenance of the plant for 15 years, ensuring long-term operational efficiency and reliability. The company said the project aligns with Delhi’s broader sustainability goals and efforts to support the cleaning of the Yamuna river.
