VA TECH WABAG (‘WABAG’), a leading pure-play water technology Indian Multinational Group, secured a ‘Large’ repeat order from Melamchi Water Supply Development Board (‘MWSDB’), Nepal, towards Design, Build and Operate (‘DBO’) of a state-of-the-art Sundarijal Water Treatment Plant (‘WTP’)with a capacity of 255 Million Liters Per Day (‘MLD’) in Kathmandu Valley, funded by the Asian Development Bank (‘ADB’). 

The Engineering, Procurement and Construction (‘EPC’) scope will be executed over thirty-six (36) months, followed by five (5) years of Operation and Maintenance (‘O&M’), underscoring WABAG’s lifecycle partnership capabilities. The new plant, to be constructed adjacent to the existing Melamchi WTP built by WABAG in 2017, will treat water from the Melamchi, Yangri, and Larke Rivers, meeting Nepal’s National Drinking Water Quality Standards and strengthening water security for Kathmandu’s growing population.

Commenting on this order win, Mr. Arvind Dullu, Regional Business Head – South and Southeast Asia, said, “We sincerely thank MWSDB for this repeat order which is a testament to the continued confidence of our valued customer in our technical proficiency and capabilities. This Large order further consolidates WABAG’s strategic presence in Nepal and reinforces our position as an industry leader across the South Asian region.”
