VA TECH WABAG (WABAG), a prominent Indian water technology company, has been selected by the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) for the refurbishment, finance, operation, maintenance, and transfer (RFOMT) of a 45 Million Litres per Day (MLD) Tertiary Treatment Reverse Osmosis (TTRO) Plant at Kodungaiyur, Chennai. This project will be carried out under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.
The TTRO plant at Kodungaiyur, originally developed by CMWSSB in 2019, was designed to supply high-quality treated wastewater to industries in the Manali–Ennore and Manali–Minjur industrial corridors. WABAG’s role involves refurbishing and upgrading the facility to restore its full treatment capacity of 45 MLD over the next 18 months. After the refurbishment, WABAG will operate and maintain the plant for 18.5 years, ensuring a reliable supply of treated water that meets all specified quality and quantity standards.

Additionally, WABAG runs a 40 MLD TTRO facility in Ghaziabad under the PPP model, supporting industrial water reuse in the Sahibabad Industrial Area.
