Schneider Electric to Automate Mumbai’s Largest Water Treatment Plant

On January 15, 2025, Schneider Electric, a leader in energy management and automation, announced it had been awarded a contract to automate India’s largest water treatment plant in Bhandup, Mumbai. The plant, which processes 2,000 MLD (million litres per day) of water, is a key element in the Government of Maharashtra's initiative to provide clean water to 22 million people.

Currently, only four per cent of wastewater in Maharashtra is recycled, due in part to outdated technologies. To address this, the automation of wastewater processes is crucial to reduce waste, increase water recyclability, and enhance overall efficiency.

Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure solutions will automate the Bhandup plant, ensuring secure and efficient operations once fully implemented.

Schneider’s role began during the inspection phase, working closely with India’s largest water treatment plant. The company’s digital solutions, including EcoStruxure Power and Process automation, are being used to enhance the plant’s operations with cutting-edge technology like the EcoStruxure Process Expert M580-EPA platform, Altivar Process Drives, and more.
