Building Access for “Waste-Water Management” Companies
39
High Growth Sector
Indian Wastewater sector growing at a
CAGR of 15-20%, is one of the fastest
growing in the economy
EU companies can tap into this high
growth sector and increase their overall
revenue
N + > VI
Reason: Primarily, slowing / stagnating growth of EU companies in local markets and huge potential in India; is a
driver for prospective wastewater companies
KOL’s Perception
ECONOMIC
Low cost machines have high demand
in India
Maximum municipal tenders are
approved at low cost
Sophisticated EU machinery is more
expensive than the Indian version, this can
be a problem area
Technological specifications can pose a
challenge in getting projects
N - > VI
Reason: EU companies will not get value for their sophisticated technology. This can have a bearing on getting
projects.
High Tariff
India has a high tariff regime, although
it has been reducing gradually
High Import Tariffs remain a concern and
can discourage foreign investments
N - < I
Reason: Indian tariff rates are higher than the EU average. Thus it would be a comparatively expensive proposition
for technology importers.
Trade Association
SOCIAL
Wastewater sector does not have a
strong single trade association
Reduced bargaining power and
promotional support to wastewater
companies
N - > I
Reason: Wastewater companies would not have a body that could promote their interest in the short term,
although this has a limited impact on operations
