Gurugram, June 26, 2026: The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG), on Friday, has approved a major project aimed at strengthening drinking water infrastructure in five villages of Ward-17.
The project, worth Rs 135.34 lakh, seeks to improve water availability, enhance supply pressure, and provide a more reliable distribution system for residents.
The initiative will benefit the villages of Mohammadpur, Narsinghpur, Kherki Daula, Darbaripur, and Palra.
Water boosting stations to be modernized by the MCG:
Under the project, existing water boosting stations in all five villages will be upgraded and their capacities enhanced.
Following approval from the competent authority and the Chief Engineer, the tendering process is expected to begin shortly.
The project aims to ensure a regular and uninterrupted drinking water supply to thousands of residents in the area.
A major component of the project involves connecting the Kherki Daula water boosting station to the 900 mm canal-based main water supply line of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA).
This connection is expected to provide access to canal-based drinking water, reduce dependence on groundwater, diversify water sources, and help meet future water demand.
Several improvements have been planned under the project, including installation of new tubewells, deployment of submersible pumps, installation of automatic control panels, laying of new ductile iron (DI) pipelines, repair of existing motors, and cleaning of underground water reservoirs.
The strengthening of the distribution network through new DI pipelines is expected to reduce water losses and improve supply to tail-end areas.
The project also includes cleaning a 10-lakh-litre underground water tank to improve water quality and storage efficiency.
To reduce operational costs and promote energy conservation, water boosting stations will be equipped with LED lighting systems and energy-efficient equipment.
These measures are expected to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the water supply infrastructure.
MCG is looking for the benefits for residents:
Upon completion, residents of the five villages are expected to receive better water pressure, a more regular water supply, improved drinking water quality, reduced dependence on groundwater, and a stronger and more reliable distribution system.
MCG Commissioner Pradeep Dahiya stated that the project will modernize and strengthen the water supply network in Ward-17 villages.
The MCG Commissioner further said that connecting the system to canal-based water sources would improve drinking water quality while reducing stress on groundwater resources.
The initiative reflects the MCG’s efforts to improve basic urban services and strengthen long-term water security for residents in the rapidly developing areas of the city.
