BASF, NMMC collaborate on safe water, sanitation project in Navi Mumbai




BASF with the support of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has provided access to clean and affordable drinking water through the “Landmark Project”, in Turbhe Store, a suburb of Navi Mumbai.
Landmark Project is a water and sanitation initiative by BASF. Over 10,000 citizens from Turbhe Store will now have access to clean and affordable drinking water.
The concept for the Landmark Project was first developed through a series of social dialogue sessions in Mumbai during BASF’s 150th-anniversary activities in 2015 and has now come to fruition in an innovative, community-based social business model.
In the first phase of the Landmark Project, a rainwater harvesting plant and a smartcard-based community water treatment plant, commonly referred to as a “water ATM”, were introduced in Navi Mumbai by the Honorable NMMC Mayor Jayawant Dattatray Sutar, along with Dr N Ramaswami, commissioner, NMMC and Dr Raman Ramachandran, chairman and managing director, BASF India and Head, BASF South Asia, as well as other dignitaries from BASF and NMMC.
