The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) is set to commission Asia’s largest Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) at Okhla on September 30, marking a defining moment in the city’s environmental journey.
The new facility is expected to revolutionize wastewater management in the capital, with a massive processing capacity that will significantly reduce untreated sewage flowing into the Yamuna River. The project is part of ongoing efforts to rejuvenate the river and improve urban sustainability.
Key highlights of the Okhla STP project include:
- Asia’s largest sewage treatment capacity, designed to handle millions of liters daily.
- Advanced treatment technologies to ensure cleaner discharge.
- A crucial role in the Yamuna Action Plan, targeting pollution control.
- Boost to Delhi’s overall sewage treatment network and public health.
The inauguration signals not only an infrastructural milestone but also Delhi’s broader commitment to climate action, cleaner water resources, and sustainable urban development.
The Okhla STP is expected to directly benefit communities by reducing waterborne diseases, enhancing sanitation, and paving the way for eco-friendly water reuse in sectors like horticulture and industry.
This facility demonstrates how large-scale infrastructure projects can align with sustainable goals, balancing urban growth with environmental care.
