The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), through the CII Triveni Water Institute, organised the Conference on “Drivers and Enablers of Water Neutrality for Industry” as part of CII’s Water & Waste Expo 2025, co-located with IETF 2025 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. The Conference was held against the backdrop of India’s rapidly growing water and waste management market, driven by urbanisation, industrial expansion, and increasing environmental concerns.
In this context, the Conference provided a focused platform for industry leaders, policymakers, technology providers, and sustainability experts to deliberate on advancing water neutrality across industrial sectors.
