Why This Index?
Water is becoming one of India’s defining economic constraints — and one of its largest investment themes. Treatment and recycling, desalination, pumps and water-control equipment, pipes and conveyance, and efficient irrigation are moving from fragmented government programmes to a listed, investable ecosystem.
The India Water Security Index tracks 25 of these businesses. The 20 listed water names form the 2022 base and later IPOs enter only at scheduled quarterly reviews, while four weighting lenses reveal the effects of scale, breadth, concentration control and investible float.
