The State Mission for Clean Ganga awarded the contract to WABAG for the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of sewage treatment and network infrastructure in the cities of Agra and Ghaziabad.

This contract spans a period of 10 years (2019-2029), with the possibility of an additional 5-year extension. It includes improvement, rehabilitation, and upgradation of systems, structures, and equipment associated with the STPs (Sewage Treatment Plants) and underground collection systems. WABAG ensures the treatment of over 670 MLD of wastewater in these cities, adhering to national treatment standards, thus providing a cleaner and healthier ecosystem for the 3 million residents. Over 80% of the sewage generated in these cities is treated, contributing significantly to the reduction of pollution in the river Ganga.

Project Highlights:

• O&M Coverage:

  WABAG manages 22 STPs, 22 Pumping Stations (PS), and an underground network exceeding 3,000 km.
• Technology:
  The STPs are equipped with mechanical/biological process steps ensuring high-quality treatment and reliable operations.
• Benefit:
  • 24/7 reliable management of the wastewater from 3 million residents.
  • An important contribution to rejuvenating the river Ganga.

By managing both the network and STPs under its “One City – One Operator” model, WABAG ensures single-point accountability, leading to stable and reliable operations of the sewage infrastructure system as a whole. This initiative is a significant step toward ensuring a sustainable and healthy environment for the residents of Agra and Ghaziabad, and a cleaner Ganga river.
