Bandra Sewage Treatment Plant 21% Complete

11 Feb 2025 CW Team

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has completed 21% of the construction work on the 360 MLD sewage treatment plant near Bandra reclamation, close to the sea link. Municipal Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani inspected the site on Saturday to review progress.

Currently, the existing Bandra plant provides only primary sewage treatment before discharging it into the deep sea. The new facility will treat 360 million liters of sewage per day at the secondary level, with 180 MLD undergoing advanced tertiary treatment using Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR) technology. Once operational, the plant will significantly improve sea water quality and marine life, benefiting residents of Mahim, Bandra, Bandra-Kurla Complex, Kherwadi, and Santacruz.

Larsen & Toubro was awarded the contract for design, construction, and maintenance of the plant in May 2022, with work beginning on July 5, 2022. The project has a five-year timeline, with completion expected by July 2027.
