50 MGD raw water per day to address scarcity woes: Govt clears plan to operationalise Dwarka WTP

“Every litre counts. Our department is committed to ensuring that Delhi receives its rightful share of water with complete transparency and scientific planning,” the Minister added.

The 50 MGD Dwarka WTP, once operational, will significantly improve water supply in Dwarka, Najafgarh, Palam, Dabri and surrounding areas, Singh said.

According to the proposed plan, a total of 228 tubewells will collectively augment 22.8 MGD of raw water. This will be channelled to Okhla WTP, Wazirabad WTP, Nangloi WTP and the new Dwarka WTP. “The redistribution will optimise existing groundwater resources without affecting current supply structures and create a dedicated lifeline for Dwarka’s upcoming plant,” said the Minister.

These regions have long faced water shortage due to peak-hour demand pressure. Several RWAs and people living in the area have also been complaining recently of receiving poor quality water supply, which, they say, is also impacting their health.

The new plant, officials said, will also reduce dependency on external water sources and bring much-needed stability to West and South West Delhi’s network.

With the plan finalised, the DJB officials will now move to the implementation stage in a phased manner to ensure smooth transition without affecting existing supply.
