27 Jun 2025 CW Team

Ghaziabad-based infrastructure firm EMS has strengthened its presence in Uttar Pradesh by emerging as the lowest bidder for two UP Jal Nigam (Urban) schemes worth a combined Rs 2.03 billion. The wins lift the company’s total order book to roughly Rs 22.36 billion as at 31 March 2025 and underline its growing role in the state’s urban-services upgrade.

The larger contract, valued at about Rs 1.04 billion, forms part of the Agra Water Supply Reorganisation Scheme for the Trans-Yamuna zones. EMS will survey the site, conduct soil investigations, design and supply all materials, and build an intake well-cum-pump-house, approach bridge and water-treatment plant within twenty-four months.

A second turnkey order worth roughly Rs 988 million covers Package 2 of the Ayodhya Nagar Nigam sewerage programme. This job includes end-to-end responsibilities from soil study and engineering through to commissioning and carries a twenty-one-month delivery target.

Chairman Ramveer Singh said the dual successes reflect EMS’s ability to offer customised, full-stack EPC and fifteen-year O&M solutions at scale. He added that India’s water-and-waste-water market is forecast to grow at about eleven point six per cent a year, fuelled by substantial public spending, and that EMS is well placed to capture this demand. Founded in 2010, the company operates across Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Uttarakhand and West Bengal, delivering networks and treatment plants for both water supply and sewerage.
