VA TECH WABAG (‘WABAG’), a leading pure-play water technology Indian Multinational Group, secured a Design, Build, Operate (‘DBO’) order funded by World Bank, worth about INR 380 Crores from the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (‘BWSSB’). The scope includes Design, Engineering, Construction and Commissioning (‘EPC’) of Wastewater Treatment Plants (‘WWTPs’) with Tertiary Treatment Facility, Biogas Generation, Solar Sludge Drying Beds, Intermediate Pumping Stations, and associated piping works, scheduled to be completed over 30 months, followed by 10 years of Operation and Maintenance (‘O&M’).

These advanced WWTPs, located at four sites in Bommanahalli under the Karnataka Water Security and Disaster Resilience Program, are vital for the region’s long-term water sustainability. Utilizing cutting-edge treatment technologies, they enable industrial reuse of tertiary-treated wastewater, reducing freshwater demand and strengthening Bengaluru’s water security. The project’s green initiative includes anaerobic digestion of sludge to generate biogas, which powers plant operations, lowers external energy use, improves efficiency, and supports broader sustainability goals.

Mr. S Natrajan, Vice President, Head – Sales & Marketing, India Cluster, said:

Securing this prestigious repeat order from BWSSB not only reinforces WABAG’s leadership in the recycling and reuse sector, but also underscores our commitment to pioneering innovation and sustainability in the water sector. We are proud to contribute to Karnataka’s water security mission by delivering cutting-edge solutions that enable water reuse, reduce environmental impact, and set a benchmark for sustainable development.
