Heavy industries adopt engineering to cut emissions
Industries across the mining, metals, chemical and manufacturing sectors are increasingly adopting precision engineering, wastewater treatment and resource recovery technologies to improve productivity and reduce carbon emissions, experts said.
As India seeks to balance economic growth with environmental sustainability, these moves reflect a broader push to modernise industrial processes while meeting climate and resource-efficiency goals.
Industry experts say this reflects a broader shift in corporate thinking, with sustainability increasingly being integrated into operational efficiency, risk management and long-term business strategy rather than being viewed solely as a compliance requirement.
The economic rationale is becoming increasingly compelling. India generates around 72,368 million litres of sewage every day, yet only a fraction is ultimately treated and reused.
Industry observers believe wastewater recovery and reuse will play an important role in strengthening water security while reducing pressure on freshwater resources.
KEP Engineering Services, led by Managing Director Malu Kamble, has been working in the field of industrial liquid waste management and resource recovery. The company has commissioned more than 650 plants across 550 companies spanning over 35 sectors, helping industries recover water and improve environmental performance.
