National Special Economic Zone to get a Tk 518 crore water treatment plant

The plant will treat 50 million litres of water daily

The government has approved the construction of a water treatment plant with a capacity of 50 million litres per day in the National Special Economic Zone (NSEZ) at Chattogram's Mirsharai.

A joint venture of ZHEC-BOW-SMEDRIC has been awarded the Tk 518.61 crore contract for the project, which is scheduled for completion by June 2026.

This initiative will play a crucial role in supporting industries within the economic zone by ensuring a steady and sufficient water supply, said Md Helal Ahmed, the project director.

Although the plant is designed to treat 50 million litres of water daily, it has the capacity to supply up to 100 million litres, he added.

At a meeting today, the Cabinet Committee on Government Purchase approved the project proposal submitted by the Office of the Chief Adviser.

Once operational, the water treatment plant is expected to enhance investment prospects in the NSEZ, making the region more attractive to both local and foreign investors, Ahmed said.

The plant's ability to provide treated water will help industries maintain regulatory compliance while contributing to a sustainable industrial ecosystem, he noted.

The economic zone in Mirsharai is one of the country's most significant industrial zones, and ensuring a reliable water supply is a key factor in making it investment-friendly, Ahmed added.

Industries such as textiles, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and agro-processing will benefit significantly from the facility.

Additionally, an uninterrupted water supply will reduce risks associated with shortages, ensuring smooth industrial operations and preventing production disruptions, he stated.

Ahmed believes that commissioning the plant will greatly enhance the infrastructure of the economic zone, fostering an environment conducive to industrial expansion and economic growth.

The National Special Economic Zone is expected to generate employment opportunities for thousands of workers, both directly and indirectly, contributing to socio-economic development in the region, he said.

 

With this approval, Beza moves a step closer to ensuring an uninterrupted water supply in the NSEZ, aligning with the government's vision of accelerating industrialisation and economic development in Bangladesh, Ahmed added.
