The Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) has invited international tenders to prepare a feasibility study and Detailed Project Report (DPR) for a new 400 million litres a day (MLD) desalination plant at Minjur, near Chennai, at an estimated cost of ₹4,800 crore.

The proposed plant will be established at Kattupalli village near Minjur in Tiruvallur district. The Water Board has invited bids from national and international consultancy firms to conduct the feasibility study, prepare the DPR and evaluate tenders for the construction of the project.


Once commissioned, the plant is expected to meet the drinking water requirements of residents in North Chennai, Avadi, Ponneri and Minjur.


The new 400 MLD facility will come up on the premises of the existing 100 MLD Minjur desalination plant, which ceased operations in November 2024. Meanwhile, efforts are under way to partially restore the functioning of the old plant.


Among the eligibility conditions, the consultant firm must have experience in designing a desalination plant with a capacity of at least 50 MLD that has been in operation for more than a year.


The consultant is expected to be selected in early January, and the DPR is likely to be submitted within the next four to five months, according to officials.
