Bhopal Municipal Corporation will generate revenue by selling treated sewage water to industries in Madhya Pradesh for the first time. The initiative aims to reduce dependence on fresh water for industrial purposes and was planned for the Satgarhi industrial area in Kolar. The project, worth Rs 15 crore, will supply 2 million litres per day of treated water from the Sankhedi Sewage Treatment Plant through an 11-km pipeline.
Treated sewage water is currently primarily used for watering parks and road medians in Bhopal, and only 30 MLD of the city's 360 MLD sewage is treated before being discharged into water bodies. The atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) 2.0 has 10 additional STPs under construction, with the largest treating 60 MLD near Bhanpur Khanti.
