The Indian water treatment market has grown remarkably over the past five years, fuelled by the government’s initiatives to enhance water supply and sanitation infrastructure. The Har Ghar Jal scheme for rural areas under the Jal Jeevan Mission and the 24x7 water supply plan for 500 cities under the AMRUT programme have been instrumental in driving this growth, with additional support from other schemes such as the Smart City Mission.
As a result, the market size is expected to expand by 1.6 to 1.7 times growth from Fiscal 2020 to 2024 to 2025 to 2029. This rapid growth can be attributed to significant investments in water infrastructure, including the augmentation of water treatment plant (WTP) capacity, renovation of existing WTPs and expansion of pipeline infrastructure.
The integration of cutting-edge technologies, such as SCADA and leakage detection systems, has played a crucial role in modernising the sector. With continued urbanisation and industrialisation, the country’s demand for clean water is on the rise, creating a pressing need for efficient water treatment solutions.
Vishvaraj Environment is a leading developer of water utility and wastewater management projects with a focus on the recycling of treated sewage water for industrial use. It provides solutions across the water cycle value chain in India.
Its water and wastewater management solutions include setting up and operating water treatment plants (“WTPs”), sewage treatment plants (“STPs”), industrial water reuse projects and water distribution networks. The company focuses on executing long-term concession agreements and provides solutions through different business models of public-private partnership (“PPP”), hybrid annuity model (“HAM”), engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) services and operations and maintenance (“O&M”) services.
