Water Purification / RO Plant

About This Business

Set up a water purification (RO) plant to supply packaged drinking water or bulk water jars to households, offices, restaurants, and events. India's packaged drinking water market is growing at 20 percent annually as concerns over groundwater quality and consumer preference for purified water rise. You can start with a small 1000 LPH (litres per hour) plant and supply 20-litre jars to your locality, scaling to bottled water (250 ml, 500 ml, 1 L) as the brand grows. Investment ranges from 5 to 15 lakh rupees depending on plant capacity. Required licences include BIS registration, FSSAI, and pollution control board clearance. Steady contracts with offices and apartment complexes provide predictable revenue and account for the bulk of profits.
