WABAG Wins Large Wastewater Infrastructure Order in Bengaluru; Shares Rise Nearly 4%

Mumbai, July 20: VA Tech WABAG Ltd. has secured a large order from the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) to develop two energy-efficient wastewater treatment facilities in Bengaluru, the company said in an exchange filing.

The contract covers the design, build and operate (DBO) of a 100 MLD sewage treatment plant (STP) and a 25 MLD tertiary treatment plant (TTP) at Byramangala, along with a 60 MLD STP at Bellandur.

According to the company, the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) scope includes biogas-based power generation using anaerobic sludge digestion. The treatment plants will employ activated sludge technology integrated with a biological nutrient removal system, while the tertiary treatment facility will use ultrafiltration to produce treated water suitable for distribution to surrounding water bodies.

The EPC portion of the project is scheduled to be completed within 36 months, followed by a seven-year operations and maintenance (O&M) period.

WABAG noted that it had previously executed the first phase of the Bellandur facility and has now been entrusted with the second phase as well. The company said the project is expected to strengthen Bengaluru’s wastewater infrastructure, improve resource recovery, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support the city’s long-term water security objectives.
