The Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation (MoWR, RD & GR – “Contracting Authority”), Government of India is seeking transaction advisory support towards a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) for the Mathura-Vrindavan Wastewater Treatment and Reuse Project (herein and after referred as “MVWWTR”). The MVWWTR– PPP is being proposed as a part of a larger initiative of the MoWR, RD & GR to clean the Ganga and its tributaries like Yamuna. This pilot project is expected to demonstrate the use of PPP in river cleaning, wastewater treatment and reuse in Mathura and Vrindavan, which could then potentially be replicated in other parts of the country. The cities of Mathura and Vrindavan have been selected as a demonstration project as the size of these cities presents an ideal opportunity for relatively faster implementation and replication of learning to other cities and towns. These cities are important religious and cultural centers, have a combined population of about 6 lakhs, and have some basic sewage collection and treatment infrastructure, with expansion plans for the near to medium term
