The water shortage around the world and particularly in third world countries has opened new avenues for bottled water Industry. If a comparison is made on the growth and status of Indian Bottled Industry with western or Asian market, India are far behind in terms of quantum, infrastructure, professionalism & standards’ implementation.
In the initial years, there was free play of markets, with fly-by-night operators, packaged water growth had been enormous at the rate of 40%. The price points also varied from satchet price of Rs.1/ – to Rs.30/- per litre.
