Gujarat sets up desalination plant for industries in Dahej

For the first time in the country, the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) commissioned the desalination plant at Dahej, supplying water to industries. The plant was officially inaugurated on June 17, but the government had put the plant under trial stage for a week’s time.  

This is the first desalination plant of 100 MLD set up by any government in the country. 

Dahej, a hub of major industries, is rapidly expanding with new industrial units. Currently, the daily requirement of water for the industries in Dahej is around 200 MLD, which is at present fetched from the Narmada river. The industries will now get treated sea water for their use.
