Fenaka Corporation Limited has started seeking a contractor to supply and install a prefabricated structure for the drinking water bottling plant to be developed in Hoarafushi, Haa Alif Atoll.
Fenaka was contracted to develop the water bottling plant in Hoarafushi in July 2020. The state-owned utility company has announced it is seeking tenders from both local and foreign contractors to supply and install the prefabricated structure for the plant.
The project to build a bottling plant in Hoarafushi is a joint-venture with the Hoarafushi Island Council, and includes building the bottling plant with the capacity to produce 10,000 to 12,000 bottles per day, as well as installing a dispenser to provide water to every household in the island. The project is expected to significantly increase the island's income for development and provide nearby islands and resorts easy access to water.
The water bottling plant is part of India's High-Impact Community Development Projects. These projects are undertaken under the umbrella MoU signed by Maldives in 2019 for Indian Grant Assistance for Implementation of High Impact Community Development Projects through local bodies.
