The order is for the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning of a 300 million liter per day (MLD) sea water reverse osmosis desalination plant in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia.
The shares of VA TECH WABAG Limited were trading at ₹1,347.10 up by ₹59.15 or 4.59 per cent on the NSE on Friday at 10 am.

This mega order is a testament to our expertise and commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable water solutions worldwide. This win reinforces our position in the desalination sector, and we are confident that WABAG’s Global Leadership in Desalination will grow further with this win.”
