IDE Water Technologies, a global provider of seawater desalination plants, has signed an agreement with the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) for the preparation of a detailed project report for a 200 MLD seawater desalination plant (expandable up to 400 MLD). The project will serve Mumbai’s municipal needs and increase the Mumbai metropolitan’s drinking water supply.
With more than 14 million citizens, Mumbai is India’s most populated city and is one of the largest and most densely populated urban areas in the world. The city’s water supply requirement averages around 4.4 billion liters per day for domestic, commercial and industrial use. IDE’s seawater desalination plant, to be constructed at Manori, will diversify Mumbai’s sources of drinking water and overcome challenging conditions to provide a reliable supply of high-quality water at a reduced cost yet environmentally sustainable.
Municipal Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, I S Chahal said: “We are thrilled to partner with IDE on this sustainable water initiative, bringing their industry-leading desalination technology to Mumbai metropolitan to benefit the millions of citizens and commercial businesses that rely on our water supply on a daily basis. This project will be able to support the increasing demand for drinking water while still preserving our environment.”
IDE Water Technologies’ President, Alon Tavor said: “IDE is excited for the opportunity to share our comprehensive expertise and knowledge in seawater desalination technology to benefit Mumbai metropolitan and its many water challenges. We at IDE see this collaboration as an excellent opportunity to partner with MCGM to benefit Mumbai’s population, and continue to strengthen the long-lasting cooperation between India and Israel.”
