— U.R. Navinchandra, Managing Director, DKK Industrial Products India Pvt. Ltd
DKK Industrial Products India Pvt. Ltd of Mumbai is the authorised Indian associate of C-Mac and M-Cubic, South Korea, in water quality monitoring and analysis. U.R. Navinchandra discusses the water analysis kits and equipment market in India.
What is the current market scenario in the water analysis kits and equipment market in India? In India, there are no established Indian manufacturers of water analysing equipment and reagents for testing with latest technology. There are a few foreign suppliers and most of the laboratories depend on equipment and reagents manufactured in European and other developed countries.
How can India cope with challenges in the water and wastewater treatment sector? The facilities to treat wastewater are not adequate in urban as well as rural areas in India. Presently, only about 10 per cent of the wastewater generated is treated; the rest is discharged into ground and water bodies. Due to this pollutants enter groundwater, rivers, and other water bodies.
There is a need for better infrastructure and management with regard to water issues. There will be emphasis on standardisation of equipment and systems in this sector as well as quality testing laboratories and their rating.
Waste management has emerged as one of the biggest environmental issues faced by cities in India and the world over.
What is the estimated growth of the water analysis kits and equipment market?
Most of the existing facilities, especially in rural areas, are conventional. These conventional methods are time consuming and sometimes are not accurate. Many rural water supply programmes are executed with special international and national funding. Hence, the growth of the market for water analysing kits and equipment will be substantial.
Has there been a major technological change in the method of water analysis?
Apart from analysing kits and equipment (which are for testing only) there are many new costeffective processes developed by Indian companies as well as in association with reputed foreign companies.
What is C-Mac and M-Cubic's long-term strategy in India?
C-Mac and M-Cubic along with DKK initially set up a full-fledged service team and will keep sufficient spares to cater to any of the immediate requirements of their customers.
Once the required minimum target turnover is reached, CMac/ M-Cubic will set up a manufacturing unit in India for majority of the products.
How does your company cater to the Indian market?
DKK already has business associates in many key cities. DKK has appointed dealers with vast experience in marketing products. It is going to appoint more dealers and agents in other places.
Does C-Mac intend to introduce new products?
Yes, C-Mac is in the process of introducing new products and processes for water treatment.
