Therefore, the demand for wastewater treatment plants in the country are projected to exhibit steady growth.

According to the recently published report by TechSci Research, “India Wastewater Treatment Plants Market By Type (Municipal and Industrial), By Plant Category (Less Than 50 MLD, 50 to 200 MLD and Over 200MLD), By Operating Mode (EPC and BOOT), Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2011-2021”, India wastewater treatment plants market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 12% during 2016-2021, on account of surging demand for wastewater treatment plants from municipal and industrial sectors. Stringent government norms issued by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to ensure proper management and disposal of sewage is augmenting demand for construction of new sewage treatment plants in the country. In 2015, wastewater treatment plants with capacities between 50 MLD and 200 MLD dominated India wastewater treatment plants market. In the coming years, strong demand for municipal as well as industrial wastewater treatment plants is expected to emanate from Maharashtra due to presence of a large number of wastewater generating industries such as sugar, textiles, chemicals and petrochemicals industries in the state.
