India's wastewater treatment plants market likely to reach $ 4.3 billion by 2025: Amitabh Kant

Mr Amitabh Kant, CEO, NITI Aayog said that India's wastewater treatment plants market stood at USD 2.4 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 4.3 billion by 2025 owing to increasing demand for municipal water as well as sewage water treatment plants across the country. "There will be a huge gap of investments in this market and the private sector can fill this gap in terms of technology selection, fund rotation and implementation," he added.

Addressing the valedictory session '6th Edition of India Industry Water Conclave & 8th Edition of FICCI Water Awards', Mr Kant said that climate change along with rapid population and economic growth is resulting in an increased demand for water and food, potentially leading to over stressing not only for our present resources but also jeopardizing the resources for future generations. "Therefore, a move towards a circular economy is critical for ensuring the economic and social stability of not only four economy but for the world economy as a whole," he added.

India's wastewater treatment plants market likely to reach $ 4.3 bn by 2025: Amitabh Kant

India’s wastewater treatment plants market stood at USD 2.4 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 4.3 billion by 2025 owing to increasing demand for municipal water as well as sewage water treatment plants across the country, according to Amitabh Kant, CEO, NITI Aayog.

“There will be a huge gap of investments in this market and the private sector can fill this gap in terms of technology selection, fund rotation and implementation,” Kant said while addressing the valedictory session ‘6th Edition of India Industry Water Conclave & 8th Edition of FICCI Water Awards’, here yesterday.

In his address, the NITI Aayog CEO said that climate change along with rapid population and economic growth is resulting in an increased demand for water and food, potentially leading to over stressing not only for our present resources but also jeopardizing the resources for future generations.

“Therefore, a move towards a circular economy is critical for ensuring the economic and social stability of not only four economy but for the world economy as a whole,” he added.

Kant said that to encourage circular economy, there is a need to develop an enabling framework that uses smart regulations, market-based instruments, research and innovation, incentives, information exchange for voluntary approaches.

“To implement the circular economy and achieve sustainable industrial renaissance we should rely on proactive businesses and consumers with a special focus on small and medium sized enterprises implementing circular economy solutions,” he added.

He said that in circular economy innovations, our goals should be to design ways through the value chain rather than relying on the solutions at the end of the product life. This, he said can be achieved by reducing the quantity of water required to deliver services, reducing the use of energy in production, creating a market for secondary raw materials, incentivising and supporting waste reduction and high-quality separation by consumers along with facilitating the clustering of activities to prevent by-products from becoming waste. “Exploring and accessing alternate water sources is highly required,” he added.

Kant further stated that there is a need for rationalisation in freshwater allocation for drinking in urban and rural areas with due proportion to industry. “Efficient use of water in agriculture should also be encouraged by adopting micro irrigation methods. All these uses should be interdependent for recycling and reuse of wastewater,” he noted.

To achieve the SDG 6.3 targets significant investments will be required in new infrastructure, grey and green and locally appropriate combinations along with appropriate technologies to increase the treatment in use of water. Inadequate sanitation resulting in poor hygienic practice leads to huge economic and social losses for the country, he said.

Collection, treatment, and reuse of municipal wastewater provides an opportunity for not only environmental rehabilitation but also meeting the increasing water needs of different economic sectors, he added.

Also present on the occasion, Rajendra Singh, ‘Water Man of India’ said that for the country to become water sufficient nation, we have to ensure to use retreat, recycle and reuse the C-class water category.

We must focus on using the B-class water for agriculture and A-class which comprises of fresh water should be kept separated from other classes of water. He also stated that in agriculture we must focus on reducing the use of water through new technology and skill development. “We need to link the crop pattern with rain pattern to ensure efficiency,” he added.

Urgent need to address issues of demand side management of water: Secretary, Ministry of Jal Shakti

Mr Pankaj Kumar, Secretary, Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation and Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Govt of India today said that the water use efficiency is low in India in every sector, including irrigation, industry and domestic. While steps are being taken for supply side management, an urgent need to address the issue of demand side management has also been felt for source sustainability.

Addressing the virtual 6th edition of India Industry Water Conclave & 8th edition of FICCI Water Awards, Mr Kumar said that awareness of water issues and mobilization of community in addressing them is the need of the hour. “Every problem is an opportunity. The management of water resources has seen a paradigm shift in India in the recent years even as water governance has been placed at the forefront of the country’s development agenda.”

For integrated development of water resources, Mr Kumar said that convergence has been brought about between relevant government ministries for implementing the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yoyna (PMKSY).

Highlighting the role of the Indian industry, Mr Kumar emphasized that water as a resource is crucial to India, which is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. “In the multipronged approach that is required for harnessing water on sustainable basis, the role of Indian industry cannot be over emphasized,” he added.

Mr Kumar said that the 6th India Industry Water Conclave and Awards will contribute significantly to cause of sustainable use of water with the relevant theme of ‘Sustainable Water Management – Achieving the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’.

Mr Rajiv Ranjan Mishra, Director General, National Mission for Clean Ganga, Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Ministry of Jal Shakti said, “We are putting emphasis on long term perspective of O&M in PPP models and working on national policy for reuse of wastewater.”

He further stated that the government is also in the process of developing a national policy framework on the reuse of treated wastewater. “While the consumption of water in the industry must be reduced, we also need to reuse and recycle a lot of it. It is critical for us to look at water in a holistic manner,” Mr Mishra added.

Ms Naina Lal Kidwai, Chairman, FICCI Water Mission and Past President, FICCI said that water scarcity and water pollution presents a significant risk to companies, with the potential to disrupt their operations and supply chains in many ways. Companies are applying circular economy principles to water management which is an important step in mitigating and preventing water crisis. “Instead of endlessly using and disposing of water, a recovery-based closed loop system is key for us,” she emphasized.

“FICCI strongly believes that all water-use sectors must embrace the circular approach to water and that the government must sensitize all stakeholders to move towards reuse as part of their water use efficiency strategies,” added Ms Kidwai.

She further said, “Greater private sector participation in water services and infrastructure sector should be encouraged and facilitated through appropriate bidding criteria, project bankability, incentives for entrepreneurship and Start-ups. Encouraging risk-mitigation approach to help industry and other water users to address water not just from a compliance lens but business continuity lens, creating greater demand for water services. This will also promote the aspirations of Atmanirbhar Bharat in this sector, by enabling not just the domestic market for homegrown but world-class water services entities and technology companies and spawn a new wave of export opportunities in consulting, research, data analytics; equipment manufacturing; water and wastewater treatment EPC, O&M services; analytical and monitoring services for water.”

Dr Mihir Shah, Chair, FICCI Water Awards Jury; Distinguished Professor, Shiv Nadar University said that the process of drafting the new water policy has showed us that there is an amazing national consensus among the wide range of stakeholders from State Government to primary stakeholders on the need to make a paradigm shift in the way we manage and govern water.

Mr Mukund Vasudevan, Co-Chair, FICCI Water Mission said that a lot of work has been done and will continue to happen on supply side management, but a focused approach is now required towards demand side management of water.

Two Knowledge compendiums were release during the Conclave – 1) FICCI Compendium of Best Practices – Recognizing Excellence in Water Management & Conservation and 2) Inspiring Change: Stewards of Sustainable Water Management.

8th Edition of FICCI Water Awards were also announced during the inaugural session.

This will also promote the aspirations of Atmanirbhar Bharat in this sector, by enabling not just the domestic market for home grown but world-class water services entities and technology companies and spawn a new wave of export opportunities in consulting, research, data analytics; equipment manufacturing; water and wastewater treatment EPC, O&M services; analytical and monitoring services for water.”

Naina Lal Kidwai, Chairman, FICCI Water Mission and Past President, FICCI said that water scarcity and water pollution presents a significant risk to companies, with the potential to disrupt their operations and supply chains in many ways. Companies are applying circular economy principles to water management which is an important step in mitigating and preventing water crisis. “Instead of endlessly using and disposing of water, a recovery-based closed loop system is key for us,”

“FICCI strongly believes that all water-use sectors must embrace the circular approach to water and that the government must sensitize all stakeholders to move towards reuse as part of their water use efficiency strategies.

“Greater private sector participation in water services and infrastructure sector should be encouraged and facilitated through appropriate bidding criteria, project bankability, incentives for entrepreneurship and Start-ups. Encouraging risk-mitigation approach to help industry and other water users to address water not just from a compliance lens but business continuity lens, creating greater demand for water services.

For every Rs 1 invested, the Dettol School Hygiene Education Programme delivers Rs 33.05 of social value

RB, under its flagship campaign, Dettol Banega Swasth India today, launched the Social Return on Investment (SROI) Evaluation Study Report of its successful Dettol School Hygiene Education Programme at ISC-FICCI Indian Sanitation Conclave 2020.

The virtual discussion focused on the need for an integrated approach to WASH in schools in the times of COVID-19.

The Dettol School Hygiene Programme was envisioned as a step towards improving poor sanitary practices in schools, homes, and communities, by promoting behavioural changes.

"We at Dettol BSI believe in the idea of health & hygiene for all.

This creates a bigger impact on society. It's time we look at hygiene, sanitation and health together and not separately to tackle this pandemic," he added.

"In addition to the monetary investment, corporates like RB also bring their ability to successfully implement and their need to measure outcomes that we see in the SROI report of the Dettol School Hygiene Education Programme. The fact that we can measure every 1 rupee invested has delivered 33 rupees of social value is a huge multiplier when looking at actual impact on ground," said Naina Lal Kidwai, Chair, India Sanitation Coalition.

"Through the hygiene programs in school, we have seen role reversal of children and parents where children have taken up the role of teaching the right way to wash hands. They have become an agent of change in communities in spreading awareness about health and hygiene. We believe that hygiene curriculum should be part of the daily school day. As we have seen through the pandemic, the only way to protect ourselves from diseases is by washing hands," said Tinni Sawhney, CEO, Aga Khan Foundation.

ODF+ and ODF++ certification to maintain & improve sanitation across the country: Hardeep Singh Puri

Mr Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister, Housing & Urban Affairs, Govt of India today said that the overwhelming participation of development partners, private sector players, Swachhata ambassadors, Swachhagrahis, and the community-led network has helped create a sustainable behavioral impact regarding sanitation across the country.

Addressing the 4th ISC-FICCI Sanitation Awards and India Sanitation Conclave, Mr Puri said the Swachh Bharat Mission- Urban, launched in 2014 with the vision of making India open-defecation free has today resulted in 4,337 urban local bodies becoming completely open-defecation free. “The remit of this work has been further extended through the ODF+ and ODF++ Certification to maintain and improve sanitation across the country,” he added. The success of this mission is that the citizens of this country have turned this into a Jan Andolan, he stated.

Mr Puri while unveiling the ISC Compendium- Business of change: Models for success in Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM) said, “This compendium is a much-needed compilation of successful cases of FSM (Faecal-Sludge Management) in the country. We need such publications that capture lessons indicating operational approaches and solutions for the planners and sector practitioners. This compendium will serve as a knowledge bank and best practices sharing platform that reinforces the build, use, maintain, treat theme.” The treat component in the sanitation value chain has assumed even more significance amid the pandemic outbreak as we can protect our citizens for good hygiene, he added.

Further, Mr Puri said that the India Sanitation Coalition has strongly complimented the government’s programmatic efforts as we have progressed towards achieving a Swachh Bharat. ISC has been forging relationships with allied organizations to lead the discourse on sustainable sanitation and disseminate best practices in the sanitation advocacy space. They have also provided inputs for the policy aspects of sanitation through stakeholder engagements, he said.

“In line with the government’s vision of providing sustainable sanitation for all what is now needed is to conserve every drop of water by protecting our water bodies through safe and sustainable decal-sludge management and wastewater treatment and reuse,” elaborated Mr Puri.

Ms Naina Lal Kidwai, Past President, FICCI and Chair, India Sanitation Coalition informed that under ODF+, the government is looking at stability around SLWM and promoting ‘Waste to Wealth’ “Some noticeable focus areas according to the FSM guidelines and policy, with incentivization as well, is around community sanitary complexes in villages where there is a demand. The construction of the CSCs is also expected to generate employment during the pandemic,” she added.

The government’s initiative, Nal se Jal, for piped drinking water is also linked to better wastewater treatment. Interconnection between sanitation and hygiene is yet another important factor. Hygiene is a key behaviour that needs to be addressed along with sanitation- the toilets alone are not going to improve health, Ms Kidwai noted.

Mr Dilip Chenoy, Secretary General, FICCI, said that the government has identified the private sector as a key stakeholder in achieving the mission of a sustainable India with both ODF+ and ODF++. “Typically, a lot of people think that the private sector engagement in the WASH segment is an investment in the space. When we look into the CSR spend in the last five years, we see that, on average, less than INR 600 crores has been spent in this sector. Other than ramping up this spend; we need to think of a business proposition,” he said.

It comes out clearly that the industry must do more than just CSR, and unless that is done, we are not going to find an answer to the country’s sanitation, water, and hygiene challenges, Mr Chenoy further added.

The pandemic has shown us the way forward. Never in the history of independent India, the centre and state governments have ever put in such a coordinated and concerted effort towards a single goal. Businesses can and should be a part of the global WASH challenge, said Mr Chenoy.

For every Rs 1 invested, the Dettol School Hygiene Education Programme delivers Rs 33.05 of social value

RB, under its flagship campaign, Dettol Banega Swasth India today, launched the Social Return on Investment (SROI) Evaluation Study Report of its successful Dettol School Hygiene Education Programme at ISC-FICCI Indian Sanitation Conclave 2020.

The virtual discussion focused on the need for an integrated approach to WASH in schools in the times of COVID-19.

The link between hygiene and public health has now been clearly established. Yet, proper handwashing practices remain elusive in much of the country. Even before a meal, 69.9 per cent of rural India still washes their hands without soap. Another 15 per cent only wash their hands with water after defecation. The Dettol School Hygiene Programme was envisioned as a step towards improving poor sanitary practices in schools, homes, and communities, by promoting behavioural changes.

"We at Dettol BSI believe in the idea of health & hygiene for all. Dettol School Curriculum in partnership with our development partners was introduced to drive behaviour change among young children based on age appropriate behavioural nudges. Our aim is to emphasize on the need to facilitate a sanitized environment & to create the importance of WASH in preventing the spread of infection amongst children," said Ravi Bhatnagar, Director External Affairs and Partnerships, Reckitt Benckiser Health AMESA.

"There is a tremendous amount of work done by corporates, NGOs and citizens to work with the Government. However, to address the current situation we all must come together to fight this pandemic. A standalone intervention receives a lower social return on investment, however with an integration of interventions which is more nutrition-sensitive including water, right to nutrition and diarrhoea management, social return on investment touches the ratio of 1:47. This creates a bigger impact on society. It's time we look at hygiene, sanitation and health together and not separately to tackle this pandemic," he added.

"In addition to the monetary investment, corporates like RB also bring their ability to successfully implement and their need to measure outcomes that we see in the SROI report of the Dettol School Hygiene Education Programme. The fact that we can measure every 1 rupee invested has delivered 33 rupees of social value is a huge multiplier when looking at actual impact on ground," said Naina Lal Kidwai, Chair, India Sanitation Coalition.

"Through the hygiene programs in school, we have seen role reversal of children and parents where children have taken up the role of teaching the right way to wash hands. They have become an agent of change in communities in spreading awareness about health and hygiene. We believe that hygiene curriculum should be part of the daily school day. As we have seen through the pandemic, the only way to protect ourselves from diseases is by washing hands," said Tinni Sawhney, CEO, Aga Khan Foundation.

Investment in sanitation mission is an investment towards integrity: Gajendra Singh Shekhawat

Mr Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Union Cabinet Minister, Ministry of Jal Shakti today said that India’s sanitation mission has received unprecedented success and investment in this is the smartest form of investment. The government is committed to taking sanitation to the next level and the country is now primed for a toilet revolution, he added.

Addressing the inaugural session of ‘4th ISC-FICCI Sanitation Awards and India Sanitation Conclave’, organized by FICCI, Mr Shekhawat said, with an ROI of over 400 per cent, India made a smart choice of investing over USD 20 billion on sanitation. It is based on the 4-Ps of the Indian sanitation story- political will, public financing, people participation and partnerships.

“We have not only worked towards the construction of toilets but also towards a behavioural change of almost 60 crore people in India. The ministry has prepared a scheme to recycle and reuse the household greywater and bio-waste and convert this waste into wealth,” added Mr Shekhawat.

Mr Shekhawat mentioned that the grants and assistance given to the states under the Swachh Bharat Mission provides a huge opportunity for the states to free the country from solid and liquid waste management. “To make sanitation mission sustainable, we will work from the perspective of ODF Plus. Substantial investments have been planned in making solid and liquid waste arrangements in villages so that people continue to realise sustainable health and hygiene benefits,” he added.

India has constructed 50,000 toilets in the recent months which, in turn, provided huge employment opportunities during COVID-19. Mr Shekhawat also said that the India Sanitation Coalition at FICCI has been making significant contributions to the Sanitation discourse in this country and is a valuable partner of Government of India.

Mr Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister, Housing & Urban Affairs, Govt. of India said, “We have achieved Swachhta in India under the Swachh Bharat Mission that has turned into a Jan Andolan.”

“Today, 66 lakh individual household toilets have been constructed under the Swachh Bharat Mission Urban. He further mentioned that despite the concept of ODF+ being unknown and unappreciated till the launch of the mission in 2014, we have over 1300 cities already notified as being ODF+ today. And by 2022, we will have all the cities made ODF+,” he added.

The ‘treat component’ he said, in the sanitation value chain assumes extra significance amid the COVID-19 outbreak as we look to build the immunity of our citizens through good hygiene.

“India Sanitation coalition has a critical role to play supported by its corporate partners and members of the coalition. The expertise and resources of the private sector must be leveraged for solid and liquid waste management services. The intent is to promote a scalable and commercially viable solution to make the sanitation economy attractive to private businesses,” added Mr Puri.

Mr Arun Baroka, Additional Secretary, DDWS, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Govt of India said that people’s participation or a Jan Andolan was mandatory to achieve the success of sustainable sanitation. “To certify total cleanliness in villages, we have to ensure solid and liquid waste management,” he added.

Ms Naina Lal Kidwai, Past President, FICCI and Chair, India Sanitation Coalition said, “Sanitation is finally centre stage in India. It required focussed efforts of the government with strong support from the Prime Minister and the top leadership to make this into a Jan Andolan – a people’s movement.”

She further said that it is critical to look at the treatment of faecal sludge and the SDG target 6.2, to help us understand how sanitation impacts many aspects of the country’s growth.

Dr Sangita Reddy, President, FICCI said that today, over 4,000 Urban Local Bodies in the urban and more than 6,00,000 villages in rural India have already been declared open defecation free. She further expressed her contentment that 60,000 public toilets in nearly 3,000 cities have also been listed on Google map for live tracking, leading to their improved functionality with bearing on ODF sustainability. “The mission in its unique ways represents the opportunities for convergent and co-financing model where private sector participation is indispensable,” said Dr Reddy.

As we move to the next phase, we must not just look at public awareness or behaviour change, not just look at building the toilets but also maintaining them, she noted.

Dr R A Mashelkar, National Research Professor and Chair, Awards Jury said that even a few years ago, the idea of open defecation free India was a dream but within five years it was made possible. The inspiring dream of a defecation free India was announced by our Prime Minister and this aspirational mission had an amazing execution and the magic is here for us to see.
