Hyderabad, 26th September
2024 : Ramky
Infrastructure Limited, one of India’s leading integrated sustainable
infrastructure development companies, is proud to announce its victory in the ‘Most Admired Emerging Company in Water
Infrastructure’ category at the 9th edition ET Now Infra Focus Awards 2024.
The award follows closely after the inauguration of their legacy leachate
treatment plant in Jawahar Nagar, Hyderabad. The project marks a significant
milestone in the restoration and stabilization of ponds adjacent to the
Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management (IMSWM) plant in Jawahar Nagar. The
legacy leachate treatment facility proved exemplary in the treatment and
disposal of legacy leachate generated during water body restoration.
The
award-winning project, executed in collaboration with the Greater Hyderabad
Municipal Corporation (GHMC), has set a new standard for sustainable water
infrastructure development in India. The first-of-its-kind leachate treatment
plant, with a capacity of 2 million litres per day (MLD), addressed significant
environmental challenges by reclaiming almost 70 acres of land and restoring
the Malkaram Tank to its natural status, contributing to both ecological
balance and community health.
A
Breakthrough in Water Infrastructure
Completed
under the Build, Finance, Own, Operate, and Maintain (BOO) model, with an investment
of INR 251.01 crore, the project exemplifies the potential of advanced
technology in water treatment and urban infrastructure. Its success not only
showcases Ramky Infrastructure’s capabilities but also serves as a model for
sustainable projects across India. The uniqueness of the project lies in its
use of innovative technology to achieve environmental sustainability. The Low
Temperature Evaporator (LTE) system, powered by Mechanical Vapor Recompression
(MVR), eliminates the need for external heat sources, reducing carbon
emissions. Additionally, the project incorporates air stripping for ammonia
reduction, non-condensable gas treatment, and water reuse for greenbelt
development. The plant leverages solar power as a renewable energy source to
further minimize carbon emissions. By implementing energy-efficient equipment
like Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), the project aims to reduce operational
costs and ensure that the treated water meets stringent quality standards for
inland surface water disposal. Overall, the project demonstrates a commitment
to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices.
In addition
to the ET Now Infra Focus Award, Ramky Infrastructure Limited has also been
recognized at the 5th Edition of FICCI Smart Urban Innovation Awards in the
Sustainable Cities category for 2024-25 and at 15th CIDC Vishwakarma
Awards for Best Construction Project in early 2024, affirming its leadership in
sustainable urban development.
“This award
reflects our relentless commitment to innovation and sustainability,” said Mr. Y. R. Nagaraja, Managing Director,
Ramky Infrastructure Limited. “We are proud to have executed a project that
not only resolves a longstanding urban challenge but also enhances the
environment for future generations. It is a major milestone for us as an
emerging leader in the water infrastructure sector.”
The
project’s impact extends beyond technical achievements, addressing critical
environmental issues such as odour control, groundwater replenishment, and air
quality improvement. Ramky Infrastructure Limited’s efforts have contributed to
the development of sustainable urban infrastructure that supports healthier
living conditions for nearby communities.
Ramky Infrastructure
Limited’s commitment to enhancing the quality of life is evident in its ongoing
development of an Eco Park in Jawahar Nagar. This project is expected to
significantly improve the living conditions of local residents by creating a
green, sustainable space that fosters a healthier and more enjoyable
environment. As a company dedicated to delivering innovative and sustainable
water infrastructure solutions, Ramky Infrastructure Limited continues to play
a vital role in shaping a more sustainable future.
