India Business Forum 2011 Summary
With rapid population growth, urban development and an increased focus on Public Private Partnerships, vast investment opportunities lie in the expansion of the water industry and enhancement of water management capabilities in India. These opportunities commensurate with the efforts for major legal reforms. A “National Water Framework Law” will be tabled in the 12th Five-Year Plan to make India an investor-friendly location. Small-scale, decentralised projects are well sought after to encourage involvement from local communities and to streamline the pricing process. Stronger emphasis is also being placed on water recycling for industrial purposes to reduce India’s reliance on rapidly depleting freshwater supplies.
