Consisting of the Bengaluru core area, eight Urban Local Bodies, and 110 villages around Bengaluru is regarded as the “Silicon Valley of India.” Rapid industrial development has led to a growing increase in population and an expansion of the urban area. Therefore, the most urgent issue is to improve the sanitation and water environment of these villages. In 2009, the government of India launched the National Urban Sanitation Policy with the goal of providing access to safe sanitary facilities through educational and other activities for the residents while the government of the Karnataka state published the Karnataka Water Policy with the goal of providing water supply and sewage services for the entire population of the Karnataka state.
The purpose of the projects that Toshiba Water will engage in is to upgrade sewage infrastructure to cope with the increasing population and conform to the revised latest effluent quality standard.
