Development in India is shaped by rapidly advancing industrialization. The Government of India has a vision to increase the manufacturing sector’s contribution to the GDP to reach 25% over the course of a decade. 100 million new jobs are to be created in the sector. Currently, there are nearly 3,000 designated industrial zones in India such as the industrial corridors, investment regions and manufacturing zones which are of enormous dimensions.
The programme aims at developing the capacities of governmental institutions to regulate the use of water resources and provide advisory services to the sector, e.g. by showcasing the economic benefits of water efficiency measures for companies. In doing so, the efficient use of water resources of the textile industry is enhanced and resilience to climate-induced water scarcity strengthened.

Addressing these challenges will be critical if Indian cities are at the core of the economic transformation, as envisaged by the Government of India (GoI). GGGI has supported the GoI’s ongoing effort to achieve this goal through the Indian Urban Water project, which:
