The Supreme Court directed the civic body to award contracts of the seven STPs to the lowest bidders before May 31

Once completed, these 7 STPs will recycle 2,464 MLD sewage every day for reuse
The plan to set up seven sewage treatment plants in the city is finally taking off with the Supreme Court appraising the tender process and directing the BMC to award contracts to the lowest bidders before May 31.
A BMC official said, “The court also directed that if any party or bidder has any objection to the tendering process, such objections shall be raised before the Supreme Court only. Such a direction was passed in a bid to obviate any further delay by the grant of stays or injunctions by any other court, thereby impeding the process of inviting bids for the setting up of STPs which are crucial to Mumbai.”
