Sustaining a Legacy, Securing Water for Millions

Originally established during the British era, the Mullickghat Raw Water Intake stands as one of Kolkata's oldest and most significant water infrastructure landmarks. For more than a century, it has continuously drawn raw water from the Hooghly River, playing a pivotal role in supplying water to central and north Kolkata. Following India's independence, the facility has been operated and maintained by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC), ensuring uninterrupted water availability for millions of residents.

Wilo successfully addressed this challenge by supplying 2 Bottom Suction Side Delivery Horizontal Pumps, specifically engineered to suit the site's stringent hydraulic and installation requirements. The solution enabled dependable raw water extraction from the Hooghly River without disturbing the historic infrastructure, ensuring continuity of service for one of India's oldest municipal water supply systems.

Today, the Mullickghat Raw Water Intake continues to play a vital role in Kolkata's water security, supported by Wilo's pumping technology that bridges heritage infrastructure with modern performance standards.
