treatment plant for the Khunnu City project, and the Office of the Governor of
Khunnu City signed a cooperation agreement on November 5, 2025.

preparation, building permits, equipment procurement, external electrical
installation, and fencing. The main construction phase will accelerate in 2026,
and the facility is planned to be commissioned by the end of 2027. In the long
term, a larger plant with a capacity of 20,000 cubic meters per day is planned.

City and a resolution to establish the city, designating a total area of 31,501.3
hectares. The new satellite city is envisioned to perform specialized functions
