SPML Infra Limited, one of India’s leading infrastructure companies specializing in water and energy, has secured a major project worth ₹258 crore from the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB). The project has been awarded to a consortium of SPML Infra Ltd (26%) and JWIL Infra Ltd (74%), which emerged as the lowest bidder and has received the official Letter of Acceptance (LoA).
This critical infrastructure project aims to strengthen Chennai’s water supply and management system, with a focus on the Porur and Perur regions. A key component of the project is the construction, testing, and commissioning of a new reservoir in Porur, designed to enhance water storage capacity for the growing urban population. In addition, the project includes the development of a strategically located pumping station to ensure efficient water transfer and distribution.
Supporting infrastructure and a variety of ancillary works will also be developed to enable seamless integration of the new facilities into the city’s existing water supply network. Importantly, the project includes a 20-year Operation & Maintenance (O&M) commitment, under which the consortium will ensure the long-term reliability and performance of the infrastructure.
A Strategic Win for SPML Infra
Commenting on the development, Mr. Subhash Sethi, Chairman of SPML Infra Ltd, said:
“We are delighted to have been entrusted with this vital water infrastructure project by CMWSSB. It underscores SPML Infra’s leadership and technical expertise in delivering sustainable water solutions. As urban centres like Chennai continue to grow rapidly, our focus remains on ensuring access to clean and reliable water through efficient engineering and long-term service delivery.”
Strengthening India’s Water Security
The Chennai project is another milestone in SPML Infra’s broader mission to support India’s water security and urban infrastructure development. The company has a proven track record of executing large-scale infrastructure projects across the country, including drinking water supply, integrated sewerage, wastewater treatment, and smart city systems.
