Nashik Seeks Rs 7.5 Billion World Bank Loan For Sewer Upgrade

24 Oct 2025 CW Team

The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) is seeking financing of Rs 7.5 billion from the World Bank to upgrade and expand the city’s ageing sewerage infrastructure.

In a meeting held at Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan, senior NMC officials presented the proposal to World Bank representatives, outlining plans to lay over 200 kilometres of new sewer lines across six city divisions, including emerging localities such as Pachavati, Cidco, Nashik Road, and Satpur. The project will also replace deteriorating pipelines to strengthen the existing network.

According to Ravindra Dharanakar, NMC’s Superintending Engineer for Water and Sewage Management, a detailed project report (DPR) is currently being prepared to determine the final project cost and specifications.

At present, Nashik generates approximately 323.3 million litres per day (MLD) of sewage, handled through a 1,600-kilometre network. To meet growing demand, the NMC has already floated tenders for an additional 90 kilometres of sewer lines, estimated to cost Rs 1.9 billion.

The ongoing work is partially funded under the Central government’s Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) scheme, with 50 per cent of the project cost supported by government funds.

Once implemented, the World Bank-backed expansion is expected to enhance Nashik’s waste management capacity, reduce environmental pollution, and ensure efficient sewage treatment for the city’s growing population.
