| Project Detail |
The objective of the Project is to provide piped drinking water to rural areas of Madhya Pradesh and to help the state’s water program to achieve 100% household water connections. NDB will provide a loan of USD 470 million to the Government of India for on-lending to the Government of Madhya Pradesh to finance the water supply schemes. The Project will support 9 multi-village rural water supply schemes in Madhya Pradesh, ensuring doorstep availability of clean and safe drinking water. The Project will cover 3,400 villages and benefit over 3 million people. Availability of clean water at household level will significantly impact the standards of living for the villagers, who will benefit largely from saved water-fetching time, reduction of water-borne diseases, and improved sanitation conditions.
The Project will be implemented over 4 years. The Government of Madhya Pradesh will be responsible for implementation and oversight. A dedicated project management unit will be formed by the project implementation agency at the headquarter level with 4 project implementation units at field level to closely monitor the implementation of the Project.
The Project loan will be repayable in 32 equal semi-annual instalments over 16 years. |
