Earlier this month, VA Tech WABAG has signed a Rs 575-crore concession agreement under the Namami Gange program which integrates the efforts to clean and protect the Ganga River in a comprehensive manner. A concession agreement typically refers to a contract between a company and a government that gives the company the right to operate a specific business within the government’s jurisdiction, subject to certain terms. With this order, WABAG will cumulatively purify over 100-crore litres of sewage every day which used to get discharged in river Ganga and its tributaries.
WABAG is also involved in treating nine wastewater treatment plants along with entire river Ganga belt to reduce pollution from both municipal and industrial segments among others, the release said. The WABAG Group has a workforce of over 1,600 and has companies and offices in more than 20 countries. It has won two prestigious laurels at the Global Water Summit – 2019 held in London.
