SPML Infra Limited, a major infrastructure development company based in India, has received a Rs 1,073 crore (about USD 123 million) order from the Indore Municipal Corporation to strengthen the city’s water supply system.
Indore, located in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, is home to over two million residents who will directly benefit from this large-scale infrastructure project. The development is being implemented under the Government of India’s AMRUT 2.0 programme, which is aimed at making Indian cities more water secure and self-reliant.
The scope of work includes construction of a high-capacity raw water intake structure of 1,650 million litres per day (MLD) along with a raw water pumping station. A 400 MLD water treatment plant will also be built, featuring advanced technologies to meet stringent water quality standards.
In addition, the project entails the installation of clear water booster pumping stations, extensive pumping mains, and a 22-kilometre transmission pipeline network with diameters ranging from 1,200 mm to 2,337 mm. To support operations, an integrated 132/33 kV electrical substation will be developed.
The contract also covers a comprehensive 10-year Operation & Maintenance (O&M) component to ensure long-term efficiency. The engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) phase is scheduled for completion within 30 months from the date of signing, including allowances for monsoon seasons.
