Drinking water supply and sanitation in India continue to be inadequate, despite longstanding efforts by the various levels of government and communities at improving coverage. Out of the 1.3 Billion population In India, 77 million people lack access to safe water while 769 million people lack access to improved sanitation. 157 million Indians or 41 percent of Indians living in urban areas, live without adequate sanitation. India comes on top for having the greatest number of urbanites living without sanitation.
The total Indian water market is estimated to be about USD 4 billion, growing at a rate of 15-20% every year. The municipalities and industries are continuously investing substantial money in water and wastewater improvement, creating ample opportunities for water and wastewater treatment equipment technology in India. To develop sustainable sanitation management business models in India, it is important for local entrepreneurs pair up with governing bodies like municipal corporations, gram panchayats and zilla parishads and create a formal relationship. Global players in the field of water are keenly watching the developments in India that has suddenly come to mean big money due to the Govt. policy of privatization in this area.
