MUMBAI: Even as the Congress moved the Supreme Court alleging cost escalation in the BMC's tenders for sewage treatment plants (STPs), the BMC has issued work orders for six out of its seven STP plants. In all, the seven plants will cost the BMC close to Rs 26,000 crore, and it will be one of the biggest projects undertaken by the BMC in terms of cost.
The BMC has only kept back the work order for its Bhandup STP projects. A team of BMC officials and engineers will leave for South Korea on June 6 to verify if the constant level and continuous flow Sequential batch reactor (CSBR) technology proposed for the Bhandup plant is feasible.
