After years of delays and growing pollution concerns, the long-awaited Indrayani river rejuvenation project is finally set to take off. The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) has floated Rs 674 cr tenders to construct Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) along the river.
The 105-km-long Indrayani, originating near Kurwande village in Maval and joining the Bhima river at Tulapur in Haveli taluka, flows through culturally significant towns such as Alandi and Dehu. Rapid urbanisation and untreated sewage have heavily polluted the river.
Of its total length, 57.5 km falls under PMRDA limits, while nearly 15 km passes through the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC).
The project will cover 55 villages along both banks, including Lonavala, Talegaon Dabhade, Alandi, Vadgaon, Dehu, and Dehu Cantonment. The project also includes four high-population villages with more than 15,000 residents — Kurkumbh Khurd, Kivale, Dehu and Indori — along with 39 villages having populations below 15,000.
A total of 41 STPs will be set up to intercept sewage before it reaches the river. Each STP will require approximately 15,000 sq ft of land, and the project includes a 15-year operation and maintenance period.
