Chandra Babu Naidu is planning to construct a 100-million-liter capacity Desalination Plant at a cost of Rs. 1000 Crores.
Officials from Municipal Administration and Urban Development are preparing a detailed project report to obtain funds from Center for the project. Officials say this will be a pilot project to solve the water crisis of the upcoming state capital. Similar kind of project was recently taken up in Chennai. A Japanese company handled the project and AP administration has asked for quotation from the company. The project will take approximately 30 months to complete.
