India Requires Strong Environmental Infrastructure to Sustain Ecological Balance, Human Health, and for Sustainable Progress: Frost & Sullivan

 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Frost & Sullivan's study - "Opportunity Assessment for Environmental Infrastructure in India, Forecast to 2025" focuses India’s environmental infrastructure - the problems and scopes, how to fruitfully balance the scopes, the government endeavour in this segment, and more.

Environmental infrastructure are those that provide a city with clean water supply, sustainable waste disposal techniques, and renewable energy. It is developing into a primary need for cities all over the world. Just as drinking water requires to be treated to thwart water-borne illnesses, competent waste disposal and waste treatment techniques are vital to sustain a healthy ecosystem. Clean energy has also become necessary to maintain ecological balance, including human health. Environmental infrastructure sub-sectors can be divided into 3 chief classes: Water supply and wastewater management Waste management Energy efficiency and renewable energy India encounters numerous problems for example air and water pollution, waste mismanagement, and non-sustainable energy production. Prevailing environmental resources and infrastructure are under stress, and this will only grow over time. The government has acknowledged this and is taking endeavors to gear  up for the future by introducing congenial policies and programs for example Swachh Bharat Mission to stimulate expansion in the segment. However, India’s environmental infrastructure industry is still in its initial stages and has a lot to offer in terms of expansion opportunities. Given below are four crucial facts and figures about India’s environmental infrastructure:   India is positioned among 15 of the most polluted nations in the globe  It is one of the biggest dischargers of greenhouse gases in the globe  Polluted rivers have doubled in number over the past decade Merely 70% of the solid waste is gathered, of which a meagre 22-28% is correctly processed, growing the pressure on already overburdened dumping locations and subsequently resulting in pollution. “India is witnessing a tremendous pressure on its natural resources due to the ever-increasing population. Amenities like clean drinking water and clean air will become difficult to attain. The incremental waste generation by cities is one major issue without enough solutions. Hence, investment in a robust environmental infrastructure (planning, designing, and construction) is the need of the hour,” observed Akshay Sharma, Consultant, Public Sector Practice, Frost & Sullivan. “The government of India has identified this and accepted it as one of its top priorities. A combined effort from the public and the private sectors is required to overcome the environmental infrastructure challenges. The sector is filled with opportunities that are waiting to be tapped.” Frost & Sullivan’s analysis - Opportunity Assessment for Environmental Infrastructure in India, Forecast to 2025, concentrates on the problems and scopes in each of these segments and sub-sectors, how to fruitfully balance the scopes, and the government endeavour in this segment. This evaluation is component of Frost & Sullivan’s Public Sector Growth Partnership Service program.
