Mr. Arun Lakhani the Chairman and Managing Director had a vision for Vishvaraj Infrastructure Limited (VIL India) as he considered Water Supply is a plan that needs to be worked on and developed for a billion+ citizens in India.
At Vishvaraj Infrastructure we see ourselves as social entrepreneurs since Water, Waste Water and Transport; the sectors in which we have built our status are closely interwoven with the lives of people. As business, apart from value creation for share holders they also impact happiness quotient of the people, thus contributing enormous satisfaction to us for our life transforming work. The rapidly urbanizing Indian population is expected to reach a figure close to 600 million urban people by 2031. This massive transition is creating serious challenges for urban planners and ULBs especially that of ensuring quality water supply to these citizens. Indian cities have for long lived with intermittent water supply systems riddled with a variety of problems ranging from high levels of NRW to contamination issues.
The areas to be in focus in 24x7 water supply are as follows: Non-Revenue Water ranging from 50 to 75%, Water supply coverage only about 64%, Intermittent Supply & Poor billing mechanism. As a solution to this situation several reforms have been initiated by the government which include introduction of performance linked PPP contracts, up gradation of existing ageing assets, 100% metering and efficient operation and maintenance of the supply system. Vishvaraj Infrastructure Ltd. provides global solutions that contribute to sustainable development in the water sector through innovation in the design, building and operation of drinking water treatment plants, distribution system reforms, etc.
