They demonstrate a consistent focus on innovation, long-term maintenance, and river conservation through advanced treatment technology and sustainable project execution.

With over Rs 31.84 billion invested and a cumulative STP capacity of 3,722 MLD now in operation, Namami Gange Mission 2.0 continues to steer India toward cleaner rivers and healthier urban ecosystems.
