As of May 2026, the NGT has issued a ‘War Footing’ directive to the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) to enforce strict discharge norms for over-exploited industrial zones.

Modern Water Treatment Plant Manufacturers are now providing integrated RO-plus-UF systems that achieve 80–90% water recovery. Installing these ‘Green Credit’ compatible plants isn’t just an environmental choice—it’s a legal necessity to avoid the heavy environmental compensation fines now being levied on non-compliant units
