VA TECH WABAG (‘WABAG’), a leading pure-play Multinational Water Technology Group has signed the contract for the Doha SWRO Desalination Plant with Recarbonation System – Stage II in Kuwait. This order was awarded in June 2026 by the Ministry of Electricity, Water & Renewable Energy, Kuwait, and the execution of the contract now formally paves the way for the project to commence. This Mega Project represents WABAG’s first project in Kuwait and further strengthens the Group’s presence across the GCC region. 

Undertaken on a Design, Build, Operate basis, the project will be delivered by a WABAG-led unincorporated joint venture with Heavy Engineering Industries & Shipbuilding Company K.S.C. (‘HEISCO’). The 60 MIGD (approximately 272 MLD) plant will combine Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (‘SWRO’) technology with a Recarbonation System, with construction scheduled over 36 months followed by a five-year Operation & Maintenance period. On-site Solar Photovoltaic (‘PV’) systems will meet part of the plant’s energy needs, supporting Kuwait’s clean-energy objectives while lowering the facility’s carbon footprint.

Commenting on the signing, Mr. Rohan Mittal, Head – Strategy and Business Growth – GCC, said 

“The signing of this contract marks an important step towards commencement of our first project in Kuwait, a market of strategic importance to WABAG. We are privileged to work alongside a visionary client, the Ministry of Electricity, Water & Renewable Energy, on a project that will contribute to strengthening Kuwait’s long-term water security. It reflects the Company’s continued focus on delivering technologically advanced and sustainable desalination solutions across the region.”
