DJB to open Asia's largest sewage treatment plant at Okhla on Sept 30
The Morning Standard
|September 24, 2025
THE capital's biggest sewage treatment facility will open in Okhla on September 30, marking the completion of a project that has been delayed several times since its launch in 2019.
Officials said the plant, with a capacity of 124 million gallons per day (MGD), is the largest of its kind in Asia.
The Delhi Jal Board (DJB), which built the plant in partnership with the Centre under the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), said nearly 40 lakh residents across large parts of south, central and old Delhi will benefit.
The facility is expected to play a significant role in reducing untreated sewage flowing into the Yamuna.
The inauguration is being planned as a major event, with around 6,000 people invited, including residents from adjoining neighbourhoods.
