On March 6, 2022, the inauguration ceremony for the "Project for Pollution Abatement of Rivers Mula-Mutha in Pune," supported by the Government of Japan, was held in Pune, Maharashtra, in the presence of Prime Minister Modi. H. E. Mr. SUZUKI Satoshi, Ambassador of Japan to India, joined on behalf of the Government of Japan. (Click here to read Ambassador SUZUKI's congratulatory message.)
Environmental pollution in Pune city, state of Maharashtra, is being caused by the influx of untreated sewage into River Mula, River Mutha, and River Mula-Mutha, due to the limited capacity of sewage treatment. This adversely affects the health and living conditions of not only the citizens of Pune but also people living downstream of these rivers. The Japanese ODA loan will be provided to develop sewage facility such as sewage treatment plant, sewage pipe, and public toilets for common use in Pune city. It is expected that this support will contribute to improvement of the sanitary environment of the citizens by enhancing quality of the river water.
Japanese companies also participate in this project. NJS Engineers India Pvt. Ltd. is providing project management consulting services, and Toshiba Water Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is providing construction of 11 sewage treatment plants, 3 pumping stations, and 53.6 km of sewer pipeline, as well as 15 years of operation and maintenance of these facilities, in the form of joint ventures (JVs) respectively.
The Government of Japan renews its commitment to continue supporting actively the efforts of the Government of India to improve the water and sanitation situation in India.
