Im looking for a underground tank of about 25,000 to 30,000 litres.
Anyone knows where I can get one?

Have you thought of building a one? A concrete one?
Someone did it recently in his shags. I'm not sure about the capacity but it was quite huge.

Some guy has built one in Kite abt 20,000 capacity. He is also able to tap rain water into the same tank...maybe they can make according to your spec..Roto tank

Alternatively build a stone wall encasing underground plus a foundation to fit a particular plastic size tank. When it is cured and dry, drop the plastic tank inside and seal well..worked for me.

@Kamundu, Alternatively, you can do an underground stone water tank and have the volumes you need at the same cost as a plastic tank. The stone one would last longer if well done and water always cool.

I believe a stone one is cheaper the higher the capacity required.

In high density urban areas without trunk sewers, water table is quite high thanks to effluent from neighbouring septic tanks.

As such some masonry underground water tanks are always full i.e. ground water seeping into the tank through invisible joints on tank walling due to pressure.

Perhaps this would explain why @And1589 would rather you installed a plastic tank inside a pit with masonry walling…

Thanks all for your advice. I have given building one some thought but my research shows that they do leak after sometime, high maintenance and risk kf contamiation from ground watef.
