NMCG Advances Circular Water Economy by Reusing Treated Wastewater for Industry

The National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) is promoting a circular water economy by reusing treated wastewater for industrial and non-potable purposes under the national framework for safe reuse. Projects include supplying 8 million litres per day of treated water from the Trans Yamuna sewage treatment plant to Mathura Refinery and use by power plants in Delhi and Jharkhand. This approach aims to reduce freshwater extraction from rivers and groundwater by positioning treated sewage as a resource rather than waste.
