The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has opened its wastewater treatment plants to start-ups developing advanced water recycling technologies, encouraging innovation as part of the Brand Bengaluru initiative.
The move is designed to accelerate research and strengthen circular water practices in the city. “By allowing start-ups to operate inside functioning treatment plants, the board aims to accelerate research, strengthen circular water practices, and expand the city’s recycled water capacity,” said V. Ram Prasath Manohar, Chairman of BWSSB. The first project, led by Boson Whitewater, will install advanced purification systems at the Kadubeesanahalli Wastewater Treatment Plant at its own expense.
The initiative provides start-ups with access to raw wastewater and connects the treated output to potential buyers—all without financial implications for BWSSB. The pilot is expected to produce 70,000 liters of high-quality treated water per day, supporting Bengaluru’s broader goal of sustainable and decentralized water reuse.
