The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has moved forward with the construction of Rs 191-crore sewage infrastructure project in Behrampur three years after its approval.
The project which will address the growing waste load from the city’s rapidly developing sectors, includes a 100 million litres per day (MLD) sewage treatment plant (STP) and a 400 MLD main pumping station. The STP will feature a biogas-based power unit to offset operational costs and is expected to be completed in two years. Currently, only 30 percent of Behrampur's 170 MLD treatment capacity meets tertiary standards.
To improve water quality, the existing 120 MLD plant will also be upgraded, reducing BOD from 30 mg/L to 10 mg/L for reuse in agriculture, construction, and groundwater recharge. With urbanisation along Southern Peripheral Road and Golf Course Extension straining infrastructure, residents have raised concerns over open sewage dumping due to lack of connectivity, prompting urgency for network completion.
