05 Feb 2025 CW Team

The Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract, valued at Rs. 2.9088 billion (bn) (including GST), includes the design and construction of a state-of-the-art storm water pumping station, complete with mechanical, electrical, and automation systems. Additionally, the contract encompasses a comprehensive operations and maintenance (O&M) phase for seven years. The project is scheduled for completion within 20 months.

A critical flood mitigation initiative, the Mogra Storm Water Pumping Station will efficiently pump excess rainwater from storm drains into the sea during heavy monsoons, reducing the risk of urban flooding. This project is expected to provide significant relief to flood-prone areas such as Oshiwara, Andheri, Versova, and Jogeshwari, enhancing Mumbai’s drainage infrastructure and resilience against extreme weather events.

This contract marks a significant milestone for WMEL as its largest independent project in the pumping station segment. It reflects WMEL’s continued growth and success, further reinforcing its expertise in urban infrastructure development.

With a proven track record in storm water management, WMEL has previously delivered landmark projects, including the 3110 MLD Britannia Storm Water Pumping Station in Mumbai under the Brihanmumbai Storm Water Drain (BRIMSTOWAD) initiative.

The outstanding order book of WMEL as on January 31, 2025 was Rs. 25.46 bn. This includes the Dharavi to Ghatkopar Tunnelling order (DGT Project) of Rs ~11.5 bn from WEL. With the addition of Mogra Storm Water Pumping Station order, the outstanding order book of WMEL will be ~ Rs. 27.91 bn (excluding GST). This order book consist of Rs. 1.2475 bn of O&M.

Saurin Patel, Managing Director Welspun Michigan Engineers, remarked, “The Mogra Storm Water Pumping Station is a vital infrastructure project designed to mitigate monsoon flooding in Andheri and surrounding areas.
