India needs to focus on treating waste water from the industries to meet the increasing demand for fresh water, Pinaki Bhadury, Vice-President of Strategy Consulting, Frost and Sullivan, said on Friday.
According to Bhadury, who is in charge of Frost and Sullivan’s South Asia, Middle East and North Africa regions, only 30 per cent and seven per cent of the industrial waste water is treated and recycled, respectively in tier-I and tier-II cities.
“Indian industrial sector consumes more fresh water than any other country in the world. Currently, industries in India generate 18 billion cubic meters of waste water every year,” Bhadury said.
He was addressing the eighth edition of annual Environment and Energy Conclave organised by the city-based Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
