The Yamuna Expressway industrial development authority (YEIDA) will complete operations of three new sewage treatment plants (STPs) by the end of 2025 with an outlay of Rs 160 crore.

The move is led by the upcoming Noida airport which will start witnessing operations by 2024-end, even as many industrial and residential areas are also expected to see habitation simultaneously. Besides, some factories will also witness the STPs operations started in this area in close vicinity of the airport.

YEIDA aims to recycle the treated waste water of residential and industrial sectors for irrigation purposes in nearby green zones or parks. The authority decided to develop three STPs of 120 MLD capacity which are currently being built in Sectors 18, 24, and 29. The work on one STP in Sector-18 is at an advanced stage, and the work on the remaining two STPs was started three months ago.
