VA Tech Wabag, a leading Indian multinational in the water technology space, has secured a major international order from the Saudi Water Authority (SWA) for a massive desalination project in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia.
Valued at approximately USD 272 million (SAR 1,019 million / ₹2,332 crore), the project involves the design, engineering, supply, construction, and commissioning of a 300 Million Litres per Day (MLD) Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) mega desalination plant. This greenfield project will be developed along the Kingdom’s west coast and is expected to be executed over a 30-month timeline from the effective date, which will be confirmed after formal contract signing.
Wabag has received the Letter of Award and will now proceed with contract formalities. Once finalized, execution of the project will begin.
This is an international order and does not involve any related party transactions. Neither Wabag’s promoters nor group companies have any stake or interest in the awarding entity.
Rohan Mittal, Head of Strategy and Business Growth for GCC, stated, “We are immensely proud to have emerged successful in this prestigious project not just once, but twice. This repeat success underscores the strength of our technical competence, competitiveness and our deep-rooted capabilities in executing large and complex desalination projects. This prestigious project, aligns with and contributes to the ambitious goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and reinforces WABAG’s global leadership in the desalination sector.”
