5 Nov 2020 - Gurugram, India - Toshiba Water Solutions Private Limited (hereinafter
TWS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions Corporation
(hereinafter TISS), today announced receiving an order from Bangalore*1 Water Supply and
Sewerage Board (hereinafter BWSSB) jointly with SUEZ India Pvt. Ltd. (hereafter SUEZ), an
Indian subsidiary of Suez S.A, in France. The scope of work for the order entails procurement of
Design, Construction, Commissioning of a 775 MLD*2 Water Treatment Plant (WTP) at T.K. Halli,
Karnataka, with Seven (7) years of O&M*3 services. This project is part of Bengaluru Water
Supply and Sewerage Project (Phase 3) (1) funded by the Japan International Cooperation
Agency (JICA).
Mr. Shyam J Bhan, CEO, SUEZ - APAC- India Region, said, "SUEZ is firmly positioned in India for
over three decades and has built expertise aimed at helping the clients and cities manage
water and sanitation for their residents. For this new contract for the city of Bengaluru, we
thank BWSSB for their trust and confidence in us. Started way back in 1999 with the first WTP
contract, and subsequently with two more projects in 2009 and 2015, and now 775 MLD,
cumulatively we will scale it up to 2,350 MLD of safe drinking water for Bengaluru residents by
2023. We are also looking forward to Toshiba as a partner and jointly offer solutions that
support the city in a long way."
Speaking on the win, Mr. Koichi Matsui, Chairman and Managing Director, Toshiba Water
Solutions Private Limited said, "In line with Toshiba's commitment to contribute to the
establishment of sustainable water systems and the creation of environmentally advanced
communities in India and around the world, we are happy to collaborate with SUEZ to provide
water treatment solutions that will help in the development of clean water infrastructure in
Bengaluru. TWS engages in EPC*4 and O&M*3 businesses for public water supply and sewage
treatment plants and industrial water treatment facilities around the world, including in India,
North and Central Americas, the Middle East, West Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa and elsewhere.
Based on our experiences and capability, we would like to provide our best solutions for
this project to provide safe and reliable water supply into Bengaluru, the center of India's
high tech industry."
SUEZ and TWS will design and construct the TK Halli Water Treatment Plant, which will be
sourced from the Kaveri River, for supplying water to the Bengaluru metropolitan area,
Karnataka in south India.
Rapid industrial development in Bengaluru has led to an increase in population and an
expansion of the urban area. However, the water infrastructure has not kept pace with the
continuing rise in the need for water, leading to a chronic shortage of water supply. The JICA's
ODA project will develop water supply and sewerage facilities, encompassing water distribution
to secure stable water supply to areas where water supply services are currently unavailable,
including their surrounding areas that are rapidly being developed. The T.K. Halli Water
Treatment Plant is expected to further vitalize Bengaluru's industry and improve water access
of the community.
