New Delhi, June 30: India’s growing water deficit is expected to create an investment opportunity of nearly ₹20 lakh crore by 2030, according to a recent report.
The report highlights that increasing water demand, rapid urbanisation, industrial expansion, and climate-related challenges are driving the need for significant investment in water infrastructure, conservation, treatment, and efficient resource management.
Experts said investments will be required across key areas such as water supply systems, wastewater treatment, irrigation, desalination, recycling, and smart water management technologies to address the country’s long-term water security needs.
The report noted that the expanding investment landscape presents opportunities for both public and private sector participation while supporting sustainable development and improving access to clean water.
Analysts believe that timely investments and policy support will be crucial in strengthening India’s water infrastructure and ensuring efficient management of water resources over the coming years.
