The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has approached the Maharashtra government to acquire 27,967 sq m of land to support the expansion of the Worli sewage treatment plant. The move comes as part of the city’s broader infrastructure upgrade to improve wastewater treatment capacity and meet tightening environmental standards. With rising population density and increasing sewage generation, the proposed land addition is expected to strengthen operational efficiency and support long-term urban sustainability goals.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has written to the Maharashtra government seeking the allocation of 27,967 sq m of land to facilitate the expansion of the Worli sewage treatment plant (STP), a key component of Mumbai’s wastewater management infrastructure. The request comes as the civic body continues to scale up its sewage treatment capacity in response to growing urban demand and stricter environmental compliance requirements. Advertisement
According to officials, the proposed land parcel is critical to advancing the ongoing upgrade of the Worli STP, which forms part of a larger plan to modernise the city’s ageing sewage treatment systems. The expansion is expected to enhance the plant’s capacity and efficiency, enabling it to handle increased sewage volumes generated by Mumbai’s expanding population and urban footprint.
The Worli facility is among several treatment plants being upgraded under the city’s infrastructure improvement initiatives, which aim to reduce untreated sewage discharge into water bodies and improve overall water quality. The additional land will allow for the installation of advanced treatment technologies and support the integration of expanded processing units.
Civic officials indicated that the request has been formally submitted to the state government, and further action will depend on approvals and land transfer processes. The expansion aligns with broader efforts to strengthen Mumbai’s environmental infrastructure, particularly in coastal areas where untreated wastewater has historically posed ecological challenges.
The move reflects a growing emphasis on sustainable urban planning, with sewage treatment upgrades seen as essential to maintaining public health standards and supporting future urban growth.
