PMC Plans 200 MLD Water Treatment Plant at Khadakwasla for Merged Villages
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) plans to build a 200 million litres per day (MLD) water treatment plant on approximately 2.5 hectares of land at Khadakwasla, provided by the Central Water and Power Research Station (CWPRS). The project aims to improve water supply for around 13 lakh residents across 16 newly merged villages. PMC Municipal Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram has engaged with CWPRS officials, and the project has secured ₹890 crore under the Urban Challenge Fund. The plant will address growing water needs due to urbanization and support long-term water security.
