New Delhi, April 24, 2025.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recently highlighted a milestone achievement: in 2019, there were 300,000 fewer diarrheal deaths globally compared to 2014, thanks to improved sanitation. Yet, over 1.8 billion people worldwide still lack access to safe drinking water, and nearly 40% of India’s population—including an estimated 163 million people without basic drinking water services—grapples with severe water stress, underscoring the urgent need for innovation in Water management, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH). Against this critical backdrop, Plumbex India 2025 was inaugurated today at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, reaffirming the event’s role as India’s premier platform to accelerate sustainable solutions for the nation’s water challenges.
Plumbex India is supported by the Ministry of Jal Shakti, Government of India, and the AMRUT 2.0 Mission (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation), Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in recognition of its efforts to promote innovative plumbing solutions and water management technologies.
Organized by the Indian Plumbing Association (IPA), the three-day event (24th–26th April) brings together over 125+ exhibitors, policymakers, and global experts to drive innovation and collaboration in addressing India’s water crisis. Sh. Gurmit Singh Arora, President of the Indian Plumbing Association, underscored the transformative role of plumbing: “Access to clean water and sanitation is a critical pillar of public health, safeguarding communities and fostering sustainable futures. The Swachh Bharat Mission has already averted an estimated 300,000 diarrheal deaths between 2014 and 2019. Now, with initiatives like PlumbexIndia 2025, we are leveraging technology and partnerships to achieve water security and ensure equitable access for all.”
Positioned as a catalyst for sustainable water stewardship, PlumbexIndia 2025 will drive global momentum towards resource-resilient infrastructure. This flagship event unites innovators and water management and plumbing product manufacturers spotlighting scalable technologies—from intelligent water-saving/ water efficient sanitary fixtures and sanitaryware redefining efficiency in urban and rural landscapes.
