· Free Press Journal
Mumbai: The BMC has proposed appointing Tata Consultancy Services as the Project Management Consultant (PMC) for its ambitious desalination plant planned at Manori in the western suburbs. The plant will have an initial capacity of 200 million litres per day (MLD), expandable to 400 MLD, and is expected to be operational within the next four years. The proposal has been placed before the BMC’s standing committee for approval on Friday.
In last month the BMC received important clearances of Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ). The civic body has now initiated the process of obtaining permissions from the Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB) and the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), which are crucial to move the project forward. The desalinated water will be conveyed from Manori to Charkop and onward to the tunnel shaft at Mahavir Nagar in Kandivali. A tender for the conveyance tunnel has also been floated.
