Building Access for “Waste-Water Management” Companies<br />

25<br />

In India, it is estimated that 22,900 MLD of domestic wastewater is<br />

generated from urban centres while 13,500 MLD of industrial<br />

wastewater is generated. The treatment capacity available for<br />

domestic wastewater is only for 5,900 MLD, against 8,000 MLD of<br />

industrial wastewater. Thus, there is a huge gap in treatment of<br />

domestic wastewater.<br />

Indian water treatment equipment industry is reasonably well<br />

established and cost-competitive. Locally fabricated equipment<br />

is about 30% cheaper than imported equivalents, but Indian firms<br />

have limited capabilities in designing technologies for larger scale<br />

water treatment plants. The water treatment market is evolving<br />

from chemical treatment and demineralisation technologies to<br />

greater use of membrane technology; thereby enhancing the<br />

quality of water available for re-use.<br />
