36 India-EU: Creating Market Alliances Trends & Drivers PPP Models and Favourable Regulations paving the way for Vision 2020 for Wastewater Sector in India Key Trends: Focus of Govt. and Private Sector Favorable Economic and Regulatory Policies Growing health conscious population Need for customisation Accelerated growth in Commercial and SME Sector Industry moving towards 100% Reuse and Recycle European MNC’s driving market towards environmental compliance Water requirements of major water-consuming industries has grown by 40 times Agricultural sector uses 85% of the available fresh water The Indian wastewater sector has gradually changed in the last decade. The sector in recent past has seen higher focus from government agencies and the private sector. Growing population demands coupled with increasing health consciousness have fuelled the growth in the Indian wastewater sector. Water and wastewater treatment, especially in the industrial and municipal sectors, is becoming big business. The point-ofconsumption market that involves localised treatment of water by setting up distribution channels is ~€ 166M. Industries in the country require normal to ultra-purified market (as with pharmaceutical companies) and this segment has business to the tune of € 332M, growing at 15% annually. The real growth for the sector will come from the municipal water and wastewater treatment business, mainly dependent on government allocations and funds from agencies such as Asian Development Bank, World Bank, JNNURM and JBIC. Customisation is just one of the many options available that can be selected in view of pressing factors such as a general space crunch that bothers many industrial and commercial SMEs, while setting up an effluent plant. The accelerated growth seen in commercial sector (hotels, hospitals, institutions, shopping malls) and small and medium scale industries (food and beverages, sugar, chemicals, pharmaceuticals) has imparted thrust into this market. Due to the pattern of industrial development and the undeniable achievement of the commercial sector, state governments are drafting specific economic and regulatory policies to attract industrial and Information Technology investments. The highlights of the wastewater management sector in India are as follows: Fragmented Market: More than 500 companies, of which around 20 are large and the rest are small Unorganised Market: Major part of wastewater treatment and services market in rural India is unorganised, not regulated and there is little involvement of municipal bodies to enforce law Suite of Solutions: Apart from the supply of the equipments, companies are also profiting themselves by providing consulting and design services to the Indian water industry Initiatives: Major Initiates are taking-off by GOI / Pvt. Sector, also more and more ULBs are approaching capital markets Reference: Dr. D. D. Basu, Sr. Scientist, CPCB www.ebtc.eu
Building Access for “Waste-Water Management” Companies 37 Limitations Institutional Weaknesses in Planning and Execution of Wastewater Management Projects continue to be an Area of Concern Indian Wastewater Segment is experiencing a steady growth rate. However, lack of knowledge of best practices amongst various municipalities regarding generation, collection and disposal of wastewater leads to continuation of poor practices. Structuring and implementation of PPP in urban sewerage and sanitation continues to be a challenge. This is mainly due to lack of enabling legal and regulatory environment at the state / city level, apprehensions about managing PPP related contracts, capacity and knowledge gaps among institutions and key stakeholders. Following are the Reasons for Improper Management of Waste: Improper Planning for waste management while setting up Townships Unclear Institutional Set-Up for waste management, planning and designing in urban local bodies Untrained Manpower is a prime concern across all industrial regions of India. Also, execution of service contract is a complex assignment, even for large companies. Lack of Community Involvement due to low awareness levels of waste management among people Concerns within Wastewater Management in India: Improper Planning Unclear Institutional Set- Up Untrained Manpower Lack of Community Involvement Low Expertise and Exposure Shortfall of Funds with ULBs Low Price Absence of Segregation of Waste at Source Low Expertise and Exposure to city waste management using modern techniques / best practices Shortfall of Funds with ULBs and indifferent attitude of ULBs to levy user charges and sustainability Low Price as unorganised segment dominates the AMC market; services are offered at low rates by providing cheap labour, low-grade chemicals and spares Absence of Segregation of Waste at Source, which highlights that largely, End-of-Pipe treatment is prevalent in India, unlike Europe, where treatment at source is also emphasised. This leads to varying composition of wastewater throughout the geography www.ebtc.eu
