ENQUIRE NOW FOR STP – https://share.hsforms.com/1d12AT_oJScm8iiXbjSrEIwrh2r7
As Pune grows into a dense urban mega-cluster spanning PMC, PCMC and PMRDA, local authorities have strengthened environmental compliance norms to protect groundwater, reduce pollution, and ensure sustainable development.
In 2025, STP Guidelines for Projects in Pune (PMC, PCMC, PMRDA Rules 2025) have become stricter, mandatory, and non-negotiable for all builders, developers, housing societies, commercial complexes, hotels, hospitals, IT parks, and townships.
At Green Planet Solutions Pune, we help construction projects comply with:
✔ Wastewater norms
✔ EC and MPCB Sewage Water Treatment Plant rules
✔ On-site Liquid Waste Management
✔ Treated water reuse norms
✔ Zero-discharge mandates
This guide explains everything you need to know.

🧭 1. Why STPs Are Mandatory Across Pune Metropolitan Region (2025 Update)
STP Guidelines for Projects in Pune (PMC, PCMC, PMRDA Rules 2025)
Recent policy changes are driven by:
- Rising population & sewage load
- Groundwater depletion
- River pollution (Mula, Mutha, Pavana, Indrayani)
- Urban expansion under PMRDA
- Mandatory EC and MPCB Sewage Water Treatment Plant approvals
The authorities now demand:
✔ On-site STP for ALL new construction projects
✔ 100% wastewater treatment
✔ Mandatory treated water reuse
✔ Stringent treated water parameters
✔ Advanced treatment technologies
