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.
