Water treatment player VA Tech Wabag Ltd (WABAG), on Friday (July 25), said it has secured a ₹380-crore order from the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) for the development of state-of-the-art, energy-efficient water reuse facilities in Bengaluru. The project is funded by the World Bank and falls under the design, build, operate (DBO) model.
As part of the contract, WABAG will undertake the design, engineering, construction, and commissioning (EPC) of advanced wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) with tertiary treatment capabilities. The scope of work also includes biogas generation units, solar sludge drying beds, intermediate pumping stations, and associated piping infrastructure.
The project is scheduled for completion over a period of 30 months, followed by a 10-year operation and maintenance (O&M) phase, ensuring long-term sustainability and efficiency in operations. The initiative reflects BWSSB’s and WABAG’s commitment to sustainable urban water management through energy-efficient and environmentally-responsible infrastructure.

These advanced WWTPs, located at four sites in Bommanahalli under the Karnataka Water Security and Disaster Resilience Programme, will ensure the region’s long-term water sustainability. Utilising cutting-edge treatment technologies, they will 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.
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.”
