The Haryana government has cleared a budget of Rs 400 crore to fund new water supply and sewerage projects across the state, aiming to boost sanitation and water access.
The state cabinet of Haryana has approved a financial outlay of Rs 400 crore dedicated to water supply and sewerage initiatives. The allocation is intended to finance the construction of new pipelines, upgrade existing distribution networks, and set up additional sewage treatment facilities in several districts.
According to officials, the projects will be rolled out in phases, targeting both urban and rural areas that face chronic water scarcity and inadequate sanitation infrastructure. The funding will be drawn from the state's development budget and may be supplemented by central government schemes.
The move aligns with Haryana's broader objective to improve public health outcomes and meet the standards set under the Swachh Bharat Mission. Implementation agencies have been instructed to prepare detailed project reports and commence tendering processes within the next few weeks.
Stakeholders, including local municipal bodies and water authorities, have welcomed the decision, noting that the infusion of capital is crucial for addressing long‑standing service gaps. The state expects the projects to generate employment opportunities and stimulate ancillary economic activity in the construction sector.
The government has not disclosed a specific timeline for project completion, but officials indicated that progress will be monitored closely to ensure timely delivery and optimal utilization of the allocated funds.
