Opportunities in Indian Water Infrastructure

SectorOverviewIndia has been well endowed with large Freshwater reserves, but the increasing population and overexploitation

of surface and groundwater over the past few decades has resulted in water scarcity in some regions. Growth of

the Indian economy is driving increased water usage across sectors. Wastewater is increasing significantly and in

the absence of proper measures for treatment and management, the existing Freshwater reserves are being

polluted, increased urbanization is driving an increase in per capita water consumption in towns and cities.

Urbanization is also driving a change in consumption patterns and increased demand for water-intensive

agricultural crops and industrial products. A large population still does not have access to safe water. The

planning commission has budgeted USD 26.5 billion in the 2012-2017 (draft plan) for providing safe water to all

urban and rural Indians. Treatment of waste water, sewage treatment and solid, liquid and chemical waste, water

technology, environmental services, desalination companies, consulting and engineering are some services that

India will require to tackle the water problem. Right now India spends less than USD 5 per person as compared to

USD 28 in US. Only about half of the cities in India are supplied with piped water. For cities which have a

population of between one and five million their municipal authorities distribute water for a few hours per day

24x7 water supply is still not available in any of the Indian cities.

India has a long coastline of 7,600 kilometres and is most likely to witness high growth ratios in desalinating

water in the future.

Government SupportTraditionally, the water sector in India has been owned and operated by the government. The Indian government

supports the private sector to contribute and initiate various regulatory reforms. Not being able to solve all

problems single-handedly, the government is encouraging the private sector to participate and introduce

regulatory reforms. Private investment in water is allowed both Indian and foreign :

There is no specific restriction on the entry of private players in the water sector. According to the Consolidated

FDI policy announced by the Government of India, which is effective from April 2010, 100% FDI is allowed in the

water sector as below:

Clause 5.22.1 states 100% FDI is allowed under the automatic route in Construction and maintenance of roads,

rail-beds, bridges, tunnels, pipelines, ropeways, runways, waterways & water reservoirs, hydroelectric projects,

power plants and industrial plants.

Clause 5.22.3 states 100 % FDI is allowed under the automatic route in construction and maintenance of rural

drinking water supply projects, package water treatment plants, rain and rain water harvesting structures, waste-

water recycling and re-use techniques and facilities, rain-water re-charging and re-use techniques of ground

water.

Status of Water sewerage Infrastructure In India

According to Census 2011:

Number of towns: 7935

Number of urban local bodies: 4,041

Cities with population higher than 1 million: 53

Cities with 24x 7 water supply: 0 (Zero)

According to government of India Survey Only 26.8% of domestic and 60% of industrial wastewater istreated in India

39 % of the Treated Water is not meeting the effluent criteria set by Govt. of India, either because ofPoor O & M or use of obsolete technology.

3/5

India is the largest user of groundwater in the world. It uses an estimated 230 cubic kilometres ofgroundwater per year - over a quarter of the global total

It is disturbing to note that ground water in various regions in India is not only saline, but contaminatedwith one or more hazardous substances like fluoride, arsenic, iron, chromium, nitrates etc.

Out of 230 cubic kilometre of ground water 92% is used for agriculture 3% for Domestic use and 5 % forIndustrial use almost all of the water used is untreated and pose serious health hazards and is unfit fordrinking

75 percent of the rural population and 85 percent of the urban population have access to public watersupply. However, municipal agencies in many Indian towns and cities are unable to increase their water

supply capacities to match population growth, especially in the urban areas.

Future Scenario

According to a report by Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), approximately 700 billion euros needs to beinvested in the municipal infrastructure in India between 2012 and 2031, at the same time, the water

table is sinking. In addition, India does not have a well-built water supply network. Some 97 million

people in India do not have access to drinking water, and approximately 70 percent of the population

does not have access to modern sanitary facilities, also sewerage treatment and distribution systems

need modernisation
