IDE to build 3 desalination plants in India

Jerusalem, July 15: Israel Desalination Enterprises Technologies (IDE) won two tenders to build three desalination plants in India for 9.5 million dollars.

IDE, jointly owned by Israel Chemicals and the Delek Group, said in a statement one plant would supply about 3,000 cubic metres of drinking water a day, while the other two would each supply about 1,200 cu m.

In 2002, IDE built a plant capable of producing 5,500 cu m in India's western Gujarat where it plans to build one of the plants.
