SPML Infra, India’s publicly listed infrastructure development company with a focus on the water and energy sectors, has secured a new project worth US$30.2m from the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB).
The project was awarded to the consortium of SPML Infra and JWIL Infra, which emerged as the lowest bidder and received the Letter of Acceptance (LoA).
The project involves components aimed at strengthening water infrastructure in the region. One of the features is the construction, testing, and commissioning of a new reservoir in Porur, envisioned to play a role as a key water storage facility.
To ensure efficient and reliable water transfer and distribution, the project also includes the development of located pumping station. A range of ancillary works will be undertaken to establish the supporting infrastructure necessary for the operation of the reservoir and pumping station. These works will focus on the regions of Perur and Porur, townships in Chennai.
A highlight of this project is the long-term operation and maintenance (O&M) component. The consortium will be responsible for the upkeep functioning of the infrastructure over a period of 20 years, ensuring sustained service delivery and asset longevity.
“We are delighted to have been entrusted with this project by the CMWSSB. This order reinforces SPML Infra’s leadership and technical expertise in developing sustainable water infrastructure across the country,” said SPML Infra chairman Subhash Sethi.
“With urban centres like Chennai experiencing rapid growth and rising demand for reliable water supply, we are committed to delivering high-quality engineering solutions that ensure efficient water management and long-term service delivery. Our continued focus on innovation, project execution, and operational excellence will help meet the expectations of our esteemed client.”
This project marks another milestone in SPML Infra’s mission to contribute to India’s water security and urban infrastructure development.
