Under the Namami Gange Mission 2.0, a total of 15 sewage treatment projects worth Rs 31.84 billion have been successfully completed in the financial year 2024鈥�25 so far. The second half of the fiscal saw the commissioning of seven major STPs across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Delhi, enhancing India鈥檚 sewage treatment infrastructure and furthering the mission鈥檚 goal of sustainable river rejuvenation.
These newly commissioned projects have added a significant boost to India鈥檚 wastewater treatment capacity, bringing the total number of commissioned STPs under the program to 157, with a combined capacity of 3,722 million litres per day (MLD).
Major Projects Commissioned:
Farrukhabad, Uttar Pradesh
A 47.70 MLD STP along with an interception and diversion (I&D) network has been set up at a cost of Rs 2.61 billion. This advanced facility is a vital step in reducing untreated wastewater from entering the Ganga.
Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh
To safeguard the sanctity of the Saryu River, a 33 MLD STP and I&D network has been established at a cost of Rs 2.22 billion. This initiative not only strengthens environmental conservation but also preserves the city's cultural heritage.
Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh
A 32.50 MLD STP was completed with a project outlay of Rs 2.34 billion. The plant aims to rejuvenate the Kali West and Hindon rivers, using the Hybrid Annuity Model to ensure long-term environmental impact.
Bakhtiyarpur, Bihar
A 10 MLD STP and I&D system were constructed at a cost of Rs 850 million to support the Ganga鈥檚 health in pollution-sensitive regions.
Fatuha, Bihar
Another 10 MLD STP came up under a Rs 354.9 million project, aimed at improving the local drainage system and reducing sewage discharge into rivers.
Phulwari Sharif, Bihar
A 6 MLD capacity STP project costing Rs 460 million was launched under the Design-Build-Operate-Transfer (DBOT) model, strengthening long-term sanitation goals.
Delhi
In a landmark achievement, Asia鈥檚 largest STP with a capacity of 564 MLD was completed in Delhi at a cost of Rs 6.66 billion. This DBOT project adheres to National Green Tribunal (NGT) norms and incorporates A2O (Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic) technology to treat wastewater and conserve the Yamuna River.
First Half of FY25 Also Productive
In the first half of FY25, eight key pollution control projects were completed in Patna-Danapur, Patna Maner, Kairana, Lucknow, Munger, Mirzapur, Ghazipur, and Bareilly. These projects significantly improved urban sanitation and river water quality in their respective regions.
A Step Towards Cleaner Rivers
These completed projects鈥攂oth under Hybrid Annuity and DBOT models鈥攎ark a considerable advancement in India's wastewater treatment capacity. They demonstrate a consistent focus on innovation, long-term maintenance, and river conservation through advanced treatment technology and sustainable project execution.
With over Rs 31.84 billion invested and a cumulative STP capacity of 3,722 MLD now in operation, Namami Gange Mission 2.0 continues to steer India toward cleaner rivers and healthier urban ecosystems.
