This report provides a regional overview of India’s Water supply and distribution sector for Q4 FY 2024-25. These analytics, documented by Biltrax Construction Data (hereafter referred to as Biltrax) through the BX-2 platform, explore key trends and major players influencing the region’s construction industry.
Introduction
As FY 2024–25 drew to a close, India’s water infrastructure sector witnessed strong growth in the final quarter. Over the years, schemes like AMRUT 2.0, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, and the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) have shaped the foundation of India’s water infrastructure. In Q4, this groundwork began to show results, as states accelerated project approvals and pushed for faster fund utilization. This period wasn’t just about continuity; it highlighted how policy momentum is now translating into on-ground delivery at scale. Through these efforts, the programs played a critical role in expanding sewage treatment capacities and enhancing access to clean tap water. These further helped build a more sustainable and resilient national water infrastructure.
Under the AMRUT scheme, 890 sewerage management projects have been grounded so far, with a total estimated investment of 34,505 INR-Crore. These projects have added 4,447 MLD of sewage treatment capacity, of which 1,437 MLD is dedicated to recycling and reuse. This progress has further helped AMRUT 2.0 gain traction. By the end of March 2025, 592 new projects had received approval under the scheme, amounting to 67,607.67 INR-Crore. These aim to develop an additional 6,739 MLD in treatment capacity, including 2,093 MLD for recycling purposes.
The Jal Jeevan Mission, which now targets completion by 2028, also saw a significant boost in the final quarter. The mission received an allocation of 67,000 INR-Crore in the Union Budget 2025–26. During Q4 FY 2024–25, the JJM recorded a total expenditure of 24,045 INR-Crore. March 2025 stood out, with 14,957 INR-Crore disbursed in a single month, largely led by the states. Throughout the quarter, state governments accounted for 22,095 INR-Crore of the total expenditure, while the Central government released 1,950 INR-Crore. This reflects a strong year-end drive to ramp up implementation and achieve universal access to tap water in rural areas.
