Coromandel and Veolia Sign Pact to Expand Vizag Desalination Plant

Agri-input solutions company Coromandel International Ltd has entered into an agreement with Veolia Water Technologies and Solutions (India) Pvt. Ltd. to increase the seawater desalination capacity at their Visakhapatnam plant from 6 million litres per day (MLD) to 9 MLD.

Under the partnership, Coromandel will provide the necessary infrastructure, while Veolia will contribute its global expertise in water treatment technology, machinery, and operations. Veolia will also continue to operate the expanded facility to ensure long-term efficiency and sustainability.

S. Sankarasubramanian, MD & CEO of Coromandel International Ltd, said, “Once operational, the upgraded plant will meet approximately 60 to 70 percent of Coromandel’s total water requirements at its Vizag facility, substantially reducing reliance on external water sources and enhancing the company’s water resilience.”
