Hindustan Zinc treating 30 percent of Udaipur's sewage.

Seeking to take the 'Swachh Bharat' campaign of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to another level, Hindustan Zinc has set up a waste treatment plant that handles 30 percent of the sewage generated in this lake city of Rajasthan.

A part of the Vedanta Group, engaged in zinc, lead and silver business, the company's plant treats 20 million litres of sewage each day, against the 70 million generated in this well-known tourist destination, famous for its lakes, palaces and forts.

'This sewage treatment plant has been built at a cost of Rs. 170 crore and has been constructed and commissioned on design-build-own-operate-transfer mode in association with the government of Rajasthan,' the company said.
