01  Who We Are

A specialized water infrastructure platform for India's C&I sector.

Sindhu Delta develops, finances, owns and operates dedicated water infrastructure for India's commercial & industrial customers, backed by a European climate infrastructure investor with similar businesses in other parts of the world.

Built for C&I customers

Dedicated water infrastructure for industrial, manufacturing and infrastructure businesses across India.

Reliable water infrastructure

Long-life desalination, ZLD and water-recycling assets, engineered for continuous industrial supply.

European infrastructure backing

Capitalized by a European climate infrastructure investor with proven water platforms worldwide, enabling long-tenor, bankable projects.

02  Why OPEX Wins for C&I

The shift that transformed power
is now coming to water.

India's C&I customers have already made this choice once, with power. The same logic is now arriving for water.

The Solar PPA precedent

32.9 GW
Cumulative solar under C&I open-access PPAs (Mar 2026)
45+ GW
In active development pipeline for 2026 and beyond

C&I buyers procure clean power via long-term PPAs instead of owning solar plants, unlocking 10–55% savings with zero capital outlay. The same logic now applies to water.

The same logic, applied to water

  • Zero CAPEX, no impact on your balance sheet
  • No technology or O&M risk on a non-core asset
  • Fixed, predictable tariff with pre-agreed escalation, just like a PPA
  • Long-term price certainty, independent of municipal supply risk

If your business didn't need to own a power plant, it shouldn't have to own a water treatment plant either.

03  What We Do

The Independent Water Producer model.

Sindhu Delta invests capital to build bespoke water infrastructure, then recovers its investment through a long-term Water Supply Agreement with a creditworthy C&I customer: the Independent Power Producer model, applied to water.

Type A

Coastal Industrial Desalination

Ports · Refineries · SEZs

Seawater RO under 15–25 yr take-or-pay Water Supply Agreements.

Type B

Ultrapure Water for Advanced Mfg.

Semiconductor · Solar · Pharma

RO + EDI + polishing trains with quality-guaranteed supply.

Type C

Managed Water for IT / SEZ Parks

IT Parks · Townships

Full-service water management: potable, process and ZLD.

Type D

Zero-Discharge Wastewater Mgmt.

Airports · Refineries

BOOT ZLD and wastewater recycling on a treatment-fee model.

04  The Full Water Cycle

One partner across the entire loop.

Sindhu Delta builds and operates infrastructure across the complete water cycle, so a single customer can source, treat, reuse and discharge water under one accountable partner.

1
Source & Intake

Seawater, ground & surface water

2
Treatment & Process

RO, UF, EDI, softening

3
Ultrapure Water

Semiconductor & pharma grade

4
Reuse & Recycle

Treated water back to process

5
ZLD & Wastewater

Effluent, evaporation, crystallisation

6
Operate & Monitor

Long-term O&M and monitoring

Types A–D map onto this cycle: desalination (source), ultrapure water (process), managed water (reuse), and ZLD (wastewater).

05  OPEX vs CAPEX for Water

Owning a water plant is not your business. Securing water is.

Water Purchase Agreement

Build · Own · Operate (BOO)

We design, finance, build, own and operate a new water facility: desalination, ultrapure or process water. You purchase the treated output under a long-term, take-or-pay agreement. Zero CAPEX, fixed tariff.

WTA

Wastewater & ZLD Agreement

Build · Own · Operate / BOOT

We build, own and operate a new ZLD or wastewater-treatment facility with our own capital. You pay a treatment / service fee, with recovered water returned for reuse. Ownership can transfer to you at term-end (BOOT).

What is take-or-pay?
A commitment to pay for a minimum guaranteed volume each year regardless of actual usage, in exchange for assured supply and price certainty. The same mechanism that underpins long-term solar PPAs, and what makes your water infrastructure bankable from day one.
