GNIDA Orders 202 Housing Societies to Prove STP Compliance After Six Are Fined

The push enforces NGT/CPCB norms requiring functional plants with reuse of treated wastewater.

Overview

  • Notices seek each society’s STP capacity, operational status and reuse practices, with a one‑week deadline before on‑site inspections.
  • Field checks over the past two weeks led to ₹27 lakh in penalties across six projects, which must be deposited within seven working days.
  • Reported fines include ₹2 lakh for Adana Society and ₹5 lakh each for Panchshil Heights, Galaxy North Avenue, Flora Heritage, Arihant Arden and Samriddhi Grand Avenue.
  • GNIDA leaders said the priority is preventing untreated discharge and using treated water for landscaping to ease pressure on freshwater resources.
  • Officials said monitoring and follow‑up inspections will continue, as a separate affidavit by Noida Authority to the NGT shows regional reuse shortfalls despite large treatment capacity.
