The project will be constructed in eighteen months and operated and maintained for 15 years by Essel Infra, an official statement said. It will treat 50 million litres of sewage in Varanasi city every day. Currently, this sewage is being deposited in the River Ganga without any treatment mechanism and is a major source of pollution.
