How to Apply for Maharashtra Treated Water Reuse Incentive — 3 Years of Free Water

Once an application is filed, it goes to the Department of Industries, or to a committee constituted for the purpose by the Government of Maharashtra.

• Reviewers weigh how serious and concrete the applicant's commitment to tertiary-treated water reuse is.
• The proposed water management plan is assessed for technical feasibility and for whether it can be sustained over time.
• The application is checked against the requirements of the Maharashtra Industries Investment and Services Policy 2025 as a whole.
• Authorities may verify that the unit is genuinely operational and has the capacity to use tertiary-treated water in its processes.
• A shortlist is prepared before final approval, so that the benefit goes to units aligned with the state's environmental and industrial goals.
• Approved units are onboarded and then begin drawing the free water supply for the three-year period.
