Ludhiana’s Rs 1,500 Crore Shift to Sustainable Canal Water

Ludhiana is transitioning from depleting groundwater reliance to a sustainable surface water source through a Rs 1,500 crore bulk water supply initiative. Backed by the World Bank and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), this transformative project is being implemented for the Municipal Corporation Ludhiana.

Sustainable Supply: Replaces over-reliance on declining groundwater with treated canal water that meets rigorous drinking-water standards.

Major Infrastructure: Involves the construction of a dedicated water treatment plant, extensive distribution pipelines, and robust municipal facilities.

Long-Term Impact: Secures reliable, high-quality potable water for the city's future urban development and public health needs.
