The water sector is at a critical juncture, witnessing large investments, policy reforms and infrastructure upgrades aimed at strengthening water security and long-term sustainability. However, urban distribution systems continue to face significant challenges, including leakages, […]
India’s sewage and wastewater sector is at an inflection point, where the focus is shifting from expanding sanitation infrastructure to managing wastewater as a strategic water resource. Urban India generates over 52,000 million litres per […]
India’s wastewater management landscape is undergoing a decisive transformation as rapid urbanisation and industrial expansion place mounting pressure on freshwater resources. This has made effective wastewater treatment and reuse an urgent national priority. Wastewater is […]
India’s pipeline infrastructure across the water, wastewater, and oil and gas sectors is undergoing rapid expansion and technological transformation. The current trajectory is marked by regulatory reforms, renewed public investment, and the integration of technological […]
Pipeline infrastructure constitutes the backbone of India’s water sector, playing a pivotal role in enabling the safe and efficient delivery of potable water to urban and rural populations. Beyond basic distribution, pipelines support better water […]
Privatisation in India’s water and wastewater sector has taken a distinctive turn in recent years towards hybrid public-private partnership (PPP) models. Governments and urban local bodies have been leaning towards performance-based PPPs over full-fledged utility […]
Launched in June 2015 under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) has, over 10 years, substantially strengthened urban water and sanitation infrastructure across India. […]
The water sector stands at a major turning point. Alongside ambitious infrastructure growth targets and accelerated expansion, the climate stress is intensifying and there is a nearly 750 billion cubic metre gap between water supply […]
India has stepped up its efforts to improve and upgrade water supply and wastewater treatment systems in response to growing water scarcity and pollution. Recognising the critical need for resilient water infrastructure, the government is […]
River rejuvenation is of paramount importance in India, given the country’s heavy dependence on rivers for water security, agriculture and economic sustenance. Most of India’s rivers face severe pollution, depletion and degradation due to urbanisation, […]
India is among the fastest growing construction markets globally, driven primarily by infrastructure development across key sectors such as roads and bridges, railways, water, airports, and ports. In recent years, these sectors have witnessed substantial […]
India’s water supply and usedwater treatment sector is undergoing a significant transformation, evolving in response to rapidly changing climate conditions and increasing urbanisation, both major contributors to growing water scarcity. This transformation is being propelled […]
India is witnessing a paradigm shift in its approach to wastewater (referred to as used water lately) management through a combination of regulatory reforms, policy frameworks and infrastructure-driven programmes at both the national and state […]
With water becoming a critical resource, water utilities are more conscious of the need for proper management and distribution. The Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) is making significant efforts to ensure efficient […]
India has experienced a growth in urbanisation and infrastructural development in recent years. This has led to a rise in water demand, posing a water crisis due to the depletion of freshwater sources in urban […]
