The State is simultaneously upgrading six STPs with a combined capacity of 304 million litres per day at Gohana, Sonaria in Rohtak, Line Par in Bahadurgarh, Hassanpur in Palwal, Dhanwapur in Gurugram and Bahrampur in Gurugram.
Several additional STP projects are advancing through tendering, technical evaluation, and other implementation stages.
The review also addressed proposed Common Effluent Treatment Plants to strengthen industrial waste water treatment. For the proposed 50 MLD CETP at Partapgarh in Faridabad, tenders were invited on August 10 and the last date for bid submission is September 14.
