CM Unveils Rs 3.7 Bn Vilholi WTP to Strengthen Nashik Water Supply

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has inaugurated the Nashik Municipal Corporation’s 274 MLD Vilholi Water Treatment Plant (WTP) along with the augmented Mukane water supply scheme. Developed at a cost of Rs 3.7 billion, the project will deliver reliable and safe water to more than 55 lakh residents and support over 1 crore visitors expected during the 2027 Simhastha Kumbh Mela.
The upgraded system will ensure year-round availability, improve resilience during peak tourist seasons and benefit local employment and tourism-related businesses. Partly funded through Rs 2 billion in Green Sustainable Bonds, the initiative reflects Nashik’s focus on sustainable and self-reliant urban infrastructure.
Under the Chief Minister’s guidance, the Vilholi WTP and Mukane scheme form a major step towards making Nashik a smart, water-secure city. The infrastructure is expected to be fully ready before the 2027 Kumbh Mela to ensure uninterrupted supply during the event.
