To meet UN SDG 6 on water and sanitation and to improve ease of living, the Govt. of India (GoI) launched the AMRUT mission in 2015 for all 500 urban local bodies (ULBs) with populations above 1 lakh. The objectives of the mission were to provide water supply through functional household tap connections (FHTCs) to all urban households, plus urban sewerage and drainage networks, and development of green spaces.
Following the success of this mission, the Govt. of India launched the AMRUT 2.0 mission in 2021, with the aim of making cities ‘water secure’ and providing FHTCs to every household in all 4000+ statutory towns. This mission also aims at 100% sewage/septage management in 500 AMRUT cities. This is being achieved through water source conservation, rejuvenation of water bodies and wells, reuse of treated wastewater, and rainwater harvesting.
As the PDMC, IPE Global has been providing overall planning, feasibility, engineering design, procurement, construction supervision, contract management, project monitoring, and project management services for the mission in respective states.
