Welspun Michigan Secures Mogra Pumping Station Contract

Welspun Michigan Engineers (WMEL), a subsidiary of Welspun Enterprises (WEL) has been awarded a prestigious contract by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for the design and construction of the Mogra Storm Water Pumping Station in K/W Ward, Mumbai.

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.
