The civic body has received a similar proposal from the Gujarat State Electricity Corporation (GSEC) that has planned a power plant in the Shinor taluka. The VMC will have to sign a memorandum of understanding and an agreement in this regard with the IOC.IOC is not the only organisation looking to use STP water from VMC. The organisation got a positive response in this regard from IOC.A proposal put before the standing committee of the civic body states that IOC has proposed to lift treated sewage from the Chhani STP of the civic body..
