One major growth driver for the industry would be going back to the roots; reaching out to people who actually have no access to drinking water. Despite 65 years of independence, the basic supply of drinking water is still a distant dream for majority of Indian villages. While providing access to drinking water is primarily considered to be government’s responsibility, the demand is large enough to require private sector participation. Every day, 2,000 children die because of waterborne diseases — and almost half of them are India’s rural and urban poor.

Access to safe drinking water remains an urgent necessity, as 30% of urban and 90% of rural households still depend completely on untreated surface or groundwater. While access to drinking water in India has increased over the past decade, the tremendous adverse impact of unsafe water on health continues. It is estimated that about 21% of communicable diseases in India are water related.
