Japanese firm Hitachi today said its consortium has inked a pact for sea-water desalination project in Gujarat.
A consortium comprising Hitachi and Hyflux Ltd has signed water purchase agreement concerning water supply volume, price and other details with Dahej Special Economic Zone in Gujarat, Hitachi Ltd said in a statement.
The consortium plans to construct a sea water desalination plant in an industrial park within Dahej SEZ and provide a stable supply of industrial water over a period of 30 years (including the construction period), it added.
“Hitachi will work closely with Hyflux to successfully implement the project, in order to facilitate the use of water resources in Dahej SEZ in Gujarat,” Hitachi President Hiroaki Nakanishi said.
The project is one of the Delhi—Mumbai Industrial Corridor projects being promoted jointly by the Japanese and Indian governments, involving construction of industrial parks between Delhi and Mumbai utilising private sector capital.
“Going forward, the consortium intends to obtain environmental assessment approval and meet other requirements to successfully implement the project,” the company said.
