News: Chandu Budhera’s Fifth 100 MLD Unit in Testing; 770 MLD Soon-27-07-2026
The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) said on Monday that a fifth 100 MLD filtration unit at Chandu Budhera is in testing, with pumps and machinery being calibrated. Executive engineer Abhinav Verma said a three-month trial starts next month, followed by formal commissioning, which will add supply along SPR and lift total treatment capacity to 770 MLD.
GMDA runs four 100 MLD units at Chandu Budhera and three 90 MLD at Basai, and has awarded a tender for another Basai unit with two storage treatment tanks. It projects demand near 1,170 MLD by 2031 and is adding capacity in phases.
CEO PC Meena separately said about Rs 84 lakh will fund drainage fixes: extra inlets via core cutting, debris removal and lowered earthen shoulders. The stretches are IFFCO Chowk to Kanhai Chowk (Rs 21.10 lakh), Kanhai Chowk to SPR (Rs 21.10 lakh), Subhash Chowk to Hero Honda Chowk (Rs 21 lakh) and the road dividing Sectors 44 and 45 (Rs 21.10 lakh).
