Chennai on its way to emerge as a USD100 billion market by 2025

7th EverythingAboutWater Expo in Chennai to provide the right impetus to the Indian Water Industry

New Delhi, May 23, 2009

The fourth largest metropolitan city of India, Chennai provides a broad industrial base in the automobile, technology, hardware manufacturing and healthcare industries. The State’s economy has received a boost by the rapid growth in the manufacturing and service sectors. Due to fast falling ground water tables and the poor quality of water, Tamil Nadu government is compulsorily implementing the cause of rainwater harvesting in all government offices, schools, hospitals and residential buildings. With rapid urbanization across scores of tier-II cities and a targeted growth over 10% in the manufacturing sector, the city offers immense potential for majority of international water and wastewater treatment companies.

According to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy, there are 1,153 live projects under implementation across 31 districts with an investment of Rs 4,01,712.07 crore as on August 3,2008.

Chennai is implementing a 100-MLD (million litres per day) water desalination project at Minjur in north Chennai, the largest in India and is developing the facility on DBOOT basis under a 25-year concession period. India’s first PPP project, Tirupur Water Supply and Sewerage Project is in operation for almost three years. It supplies 185MLD industrial and domestic water to industries in Tirupur and households in Tirupur Municipality (TM) and Village Panchayats.

After the success of the 2007 event in Chennai, the 7th EverythingAboutWater Expo comes back to Chennai after a gap of 3 years. The event is being held at the Chennai Trade Centre from Jan 7-9, 2010. The event includes a two-day internationally reputed exhibition on latest developments in the Water & Wastewater sector, a conference on non-chemical disinfection technologies and training workshops on seawater desalination and water reuse & recycle.
