Ranganath N.K, Area MD, INDO Region, Grundfos quotes on the importance of amalgamating water management resources to achieve existing targets.
“We are optimistic that this year’s Union budget will sharply focus on increasing demand for goods and services. The only way to increase demand will be to put more money in the hands of middle and lower income segments. This, coupled with the already lowered corporate taxes, should spur demand. I also think the budget will see adequate allocation of funds for water. The scheme for bringing piped water to all can be achieved only if there is budgetary support for water management and conservation along with building the infrastructure.”
