Union Min Jyotiraditya Scindia secures approval for water supply project to Gwalior

New Delhi: Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia’s persistent efforts have yielded results, with the approval granted to bring water from the Kotwal Dam in Morena to Gwalior. The final obstacle in the Chambal Pipeline Project, aimed at meeting the water needs and quenching the thirst of Gwalior city, has been cleared.

In August, discussions between the Union minister and chief minister in Bhopal focused on accelerating the pipeline project, underscoring the urgency of the initiative. The project, which was initially inaugurated last year, involves substantial investment and logistical coordination.

Virtual foundation by Shivraj, Scindia last year

In October last year, the then chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Scindia virtually laid the foundation for the Rs 376 crore Chambal Water Supply Scheme. This ambitious project aims to address the long-standing water supply issues in Gwalior by transporting water from the Chambal River and Kotwal Dam to the city.

The state’s water resources department has now approved the plan to transfer 34.5 million cubic metres of water from the Kotwal Dam. This approval is the final hurdle for the Chambal Pipeline Project, which is spearheaded under the leadership of Jyotiraditya Scindia. Last month, Scindia had met with chief minister Mohan Yadav to request the allocation of the remaining Rs 372 crore needed to complete the project. During this meeting, he also emphasised the need for prompt decisions and actions by various departments.

Project funded under the Amrit 2.0 scheme

The project, which is funded under the Amrit 2.0 scheme, will see water from the Chambal River (90 MLD) and Kotwal Dam (60 MLD) transported to water treatment plants in Gwalior. The cost of the project is estimated at Rs 376 crore, with a completion timeline, including the monsoon season, set at two years.

The Morena Municipal Corporation is constructing an intake well in the Chambal River to facilitate the pumping of 150 MLD of water to Devri, Morena. This water will be utilised for the town’s water supply system. Additionally, 90 MLD of water from the Chambal River will be pumped to Gwalior via a newly established pumping station at Devri. The remaining 60 MLD from the Kotwal Dam will also be pumped through a pipeline to a junction point in Gwalior, where a total of 150 MLD (90 MLD from Chambal and 60 MLD from Kotwal Dam) will be directed to the city’s water treatment plants.
