In a landmark development for the National Capital Region, the Haryana Government has finalised the strategic master plan and a pipeline route to bring Ganga water to Faridabad. This ambitious project aims to resolve the city’s long-standing water crisis by providing a direct supply of Ganga water to every household.
The project, which has been a priority for the state administration, moved into its final stages following a comprehensive technical survey. The proposed pipeline will transport water from the Upper Ganges Canal to dedicated treatment plants in Faridabad before being distributed across the city’s residential and industrial sectors.
A high-level meeting chaired by the Chief Minister is scheduled to take place soon to give the final nod to the commencement of construction and budget allocation.
A boost for urban infrastructure
The master plan outlines a robust network of pipelines designed to bypass congested areas, ensuring minimal disruption during the laying process while maximising flow efficiency. This project is expected to significantly reduce Faridabad’s dependency on depleting groundwater levels and the Yamuna’s fluctuating water quality.
Speaking on the progress of the project, Vipul Goel, Faridabad MLA and Union Minister for Urban Local Bodies (ULB), hailed the initiative as a “new era of development" for the city. “The dream of bringing Ganga Jal to the doorsteps of Faridabad residents is now turning into a reality. We have finalised a foolproof route and master plan that ensures sustainable water security for the next 50 years. Our government is committed to providing clean, holy, and adequate water to every citizen, and this project is a testament to our vision for a modern Faridabad," said Minister Vipul Goel.
Key highlights of the master plan
-Dedicated Route: A specialised pipeline corridor designed to ensure high-pressure delivery
-Future-Ready Capacity built to sustain the projected population growth of Faridabad till 2075
-Integration Seamless connection with existing local boosting stations to ensure equitable distribution
The project is expected to be executed in phases, with the state government aiming for a record-time completion to provide immediate relief to the residents.
