Five Sewerage Projects Go Live Under Namami Gange Phase II

13 Jan 2026 CW Team

With the commissioning of these projects, total sewage treatment capacity under the Namami Gange Programme has reached 3,976 MLD, while the number of operational Sewage Treatment Plants now stands at 173. These developments reinforce the mission’s objective of preventing untreated sewage from entering rivers and improving urban sanitation infrastructure.

In Shuklagunj, Uttar Pradesh, a 5 MLD STP has been commissioned at a cost of Rs 65 crore. Implemented under the Hybrid Annuity Model using Sequential Batch Reactor technology, the project will benefit nearly three lakh people and prevent sewage discharge into the River Ganga.

In Agra, two STPs of 31 MLD and 35 MLD have been commissioned under a project sanctioned at Rs 8.42 billion. The project, with a planned total capacity of 177.6 MLD across 13 STPs, will benefit around 2.5 million residents and significantly reduce untreated sewage entering the River Yamuna.

In Varanasi, a 55 MLD STP at Assi–BHU has been made operational under a project sanctioned at Rs 3.08 billion. Implemented using SBR technology, the facility will serve nearly 1.8 million people and strengthen long-term wastewater management for the city.

In North Barrackpore, West Bengal, a 30 MLD STP has been commissioned under a project sanctioned at Rs 1.54 billion, benefiting about 2,20,000 people and preventing untreated sewage discharge into the Ganga.

Additionally, the Kankarbagh STP in Patna, Bihar, earlier partially commissioned at 15 MLD, has been expanded to 30 MLD, further supporting pollution abatement efforts along the Ganga.

Five sewerage infrastructure projects were made operational recently under Namami Gange Mission Phase II, strengthening pollution abatement and river rejuvenation efforts across multiple states. During FY 2025–26 so far, nine projects have been commissioned, enhancing sewage treatment capacity in key urban centres. With the commissioning of these projects, total sewage treatment capacity under the Namami Gange Programme has reached 3,976 MLD, while the number of operational Sewage Treatment Plants now stands at 173.
