Mumbai, Feb. 13 Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd (JISL) and Mekorot, the national water company of Israel, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for working together in water infrastructure-related projects in India.

Initially, the two companies will establish a framework for joint cooperation to explore potential projects in the field of desalination plants, water resource management, water-supply systems, municipal water management, waste water treatment and reclamation projects.

Mekorot will contribute and provide design and technologies along with resources for implementation, management, operation and maintenance of projects. Jain Irrigation will provide the customer relationships, business development, management resources, and procurement of equipment and execution of project. Mekorot supplies 80 per cent of Israel’s drinking water and 70 per cent of the entire water supply.

Mr Anil Jain, Managing Director, Jain Irrigation said: “Waste water recycling is totally unexplored in India. Currently, there is under investment in this sector. Demand for water is growing immensely in agriculture as well as for industrial needs. Right technology and timely execution at competitive rates will be our niche.”
