WaterNext secures two major orders from Vardhman Group for ZLD plants in Ludhiana

WaterNext, a global leading innovator in sustainable water treatment solutions, has successfully secured two significant orders from Vardhman Group for RO and zero liquid discharge (ZLD) plants at their facilities in Ludhiana. This milestone further reinforces WaterNext’s expertise in delivering cutting-edge wastewater management solutions tailored for the textile industry.

Vardhman Group, one of India’s largest textiles conglomerates, continues to invest in sustainable practices and environmental responsibility. The newly awarded RO/ZLD plants will be instrumental in ensuring wastewater is treated and recycled, aligning with the group’s commitment to achieving high environmental standards and regulatory compliance.

Vardhman’s decision to partner with WaterNext highlights the company’s superior technology and innovation in water management. These projects are expected to serve as a model for other industries to follow suit in adopting sustainable water management practices.

WaterNext’s ZLD technology integrates advanced biological processes, including membrane filtration to maximise water reuse while eliminating the need for highly toxic chemicals. The implementation of these plants will enable Vardhman Group to achieve substantial reductions in water consumption while eliminating the discharge of untreated effluents, that too at low operating cost. Speaking on the achievement, Pranay Behl, co-founder and CEO of WaterNext Group Italy, said, “We are honoured to collaborate with Vardhman Group on these critical projects. Our advanced biological and membrane-based wastewater recovery and ZLD solutions will help them achieve their sustainability goals while enhancing operational efficiency. This partnership underscores our commitment to providing industries with innovative and reliable water treatment solutions.”

He further added, “During the negotiations, I had the privilege of meeting SP Oswal (CMD, Vardhman Group) and Suchita Oswal Jain (vice-chairperson and JMD, Vardhman Textiles Limited). It was truly inspiring to witness their clear vision for sustainability. Their commitment to environmental stewardship is commendable, and we are confident that this marks the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration between WaterNext and Vardhman Group.”

The execution of these ZLD projects is expected to set a new benchmark in sustainable water management within the textile industry in North India. With environmental regulations becoming increasingly stringent, industries across sectors are investing in state-of-the-art wastewater treatment technologies to remain compliant and sustainable.

The installation of these ZLD plants will further cement Vardhman Group’s position as a responsible industry leader, while WaterNext continues to strengthen its footprint in the water and wastewater treatment market.
