Wabag to build sustainable wastewater infrastructure in Patna

VA Tech Wabag has signed an agreement worth Rs. 1,187 crore under the Namami Gange Programme.The agreement was signed among National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation  (BUIDCO) and DK Sewage Project (A special arm of VA Tech WABAG Limited).
 
The scope of the project includes the development of Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) of 150 MLD capacity along with sewerage network of over 450 km in the Digha and Kankarbagh zones of Patna, one of the most populous cities on the banks of River Ganga. This scope comprises Design, Build and Operate (DBO) for a value of Rs. 940 crore and Hybrid Annuity worth around Rs. 247 crore, totaling to Rs 1187 crore.
 
Powered with the resource recovery model, the STPs would be designed to ensure minimum footprint. The STPs will be enabled to produce renewable energy from the biogas to run the plants leading to lower OPEX. Wabag will also be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the STPs and the sewerage infrastructure for a period of 15 years. The project will be implemented by BUIDCO with financial assistance from the World Bank under NMCG.
 
Speaking on the occasion, Rajneesh Chopra, Global Head, Business Development, Wabag said, “This is a progressive step in realizing the vision of ensuring 100% sewage collection & treatment in Patna. Wabag is proud to be associated with Govt. of Bihar and NMCG to build sustainable wastewater infrastructure for safe discharge of treated sewage into river Ganga and thus reaffirms its commitment to clean River Ganga.” 
 
With this repeat order in Bihar, Wabag will now be responsible for sewerage infrastructure in 4 out of the 6 zones of Patna, thus testifying the trust reposed by NMCG and BUIDCO in WABAG. Wabag is already executing projects for BUIDCO in Pahari and Karmalichak. All these projects, on completion, will ensure a cleaner and a healthier ecosystem for over 50% of the population of Patna.”
 
In Digha, the scope comprises designing and building a 100 MLD STP, Interception & Diversion Work, Sewage Pumping Stations of 262 MLD and survey, redesigning & building a new sewerage network of about 300 kilometers.
