India's
environmental sector remains underdeveloped, and it still faces several
challenges, especially in the areas of
sewage
treatment and
waste removal. India is
expected to invest 45 billion Euros in sewage treatment between now and 2015
and some 400 million Euros in waste removal between now and 2010. Treatment-system
capacities no longer meet requirements, especially in municipal centers such as
Delhi and Mumbai.
Only 20 to 25 percent of sewage can be treated. India's priorities include
upgrading and equipping sewage-treatment
plants, pumps,
irrigation technology for
agriculture,
chemicals for water
treatment and consulting in the field of
water
management to improve efficiency.
