Mumbai to get 400 MLD by 2029 via ₹4,007cr desalination
Mumbai is tackling its water shortage with a huge new project: by 2029, the city will get up to 400 million liters of freshwater daily from one of India's largest desalination plants.
This ₹4,007 crore effort comes after years of struggling with unreliable monsoon rains and aims to make sure Mumbai isn't left thirsty again.
Mumbai plant 1st phase 200 MLD
The plant will sit on 12 acres and use IDE Technologies, run by IDE Technologies for two decades. GVPR Engineers from Hyderabad are handling construction.
The first phase (200 MLD) will have a capacity of 200 MLD; if all goes well, the second phase will double that.
With Mumbai needing more water than its reservoirs can supply (especially when monsoons are late), this facility could seriously help close the gap and keep taps running for millions.
Environmental safeguards are in place too, so it's not just about quantity but also quality.
