“They observed the process of treating sewage water discharged from the industrial areas of IMT Manesar. The plant purifies millions of liters of polluted water every day,” said MCM commissioner Pradeep Singh. “This plant in Manesar is based on a zero liquid discharge model, which is environmentally friendly.”

According to officials, the delegation visited the plant’s control room, treatment tanks, and laboratory. Officials from the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) and the Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) were also present during the inspection.

The CETP was established by HSIIDC in 2017. The plant was built to curb outflow of polluting industrial-grade effluents from Manesar and to promote use of recycled water among IMT industries, said officials.

“The plant currently operates at a capacity of 55 million liters per day (MLD), effectively treating industrial wastewater from the IMT Manesar area,” said a MCM official.
