India Industrial Filters Market Drivers and Opportunities

Stringent Government Regulations Toward the Adoption of Industrial Filters

Industries such as steel, mining, manufacturing, hydropower plants, food and beverages, petrochemicals, and chemicals emit huge amounts of dust particles, hazardous gasses, and other pollutants into the atmosphere and water. Ineffective or outdated filtration systems contribute to respiratory illnesses and environmental pollution. This situation heightens concerns regarding escalating pollution levels and their implications for public health, prompting the government to implement the following regulations on the adoption of industrial filtration systems:

• According to the Department of Science & Technology (DST) data of June 2024, DST, in collaboration with the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research and National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (CSIR-NEERI), has developed wind augmentation and air purifying unit (WAYU) devices to tackle air pollution. The government has mandated the installation of these devices in industrial areas, residential complexes, and schools located near traffic intersections and dividers to address and mitigate air pollution. WAYU can minimize the amount of PM10 (particles with a diameter of 10 micrometers or less), PM 2.5 (particles with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and hydrocarbon (HC) discharged into the atmosphere.
• On November 10, 2023, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) issued the Water Purification System (Regulation of Use) Rules, 2023, that would come into effect from November 10, 2024. These rules mandate manufacturers to obtain a Standard Mark license from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under Indian Standard IS:16240 for designing water purification devices such as filters. These devices are capable of handling larger volumes of water and are used in offices, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and factories. Industries that use water purification devices must follow the rules of the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) and Pollution Control Committee (PCC) for the usage and disposal of wastewater and pollutants in an eco-friendly manner.

Imposing strict regulations on the adoption, quality, and maintenance of industrial filters supports the government and users to reduce emissions at the source and promote sustainable industrial operation. "Swachh Bharat Abhiyan" and the "National Clean Air Programme" (NCAP) mandate industries to employ filters in their operations to control and reduce industrial pollution. By regulating advanced filtration technology, the government encourages industries to adopt filters to reduce contamination from their operations by promoting sustainability in their operations. Thus, the rising focus on sustainability and stringent regulations imposed by the government toward the adoption of industrial filters drive the market growth.

Development of Hydropower Projects

A hydropower plant uses kinetic energy to generate electricity from the energy of moving or dropping water. It is capable of generating and controlling the grid to supply the required electricity. It also ensures the appropriate availability of electricity during peak demand without emitting greenhouse gases by reducing carbon footprints. The growing focus on generating sustainable energy encourages the development of new hydropower plants. The following are upcoming hydropower projects in India:

• In March 2025, SJVN (Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam) Limited invested US$ 31.21 million (Rs 269.97 crore) in developing the 3,097 MW Etalin Hydro Electric Project in Dibang Valley in Arunachal Pradesh. This project is expected to construct two dams for electricity generation and is scheduled to be commissioned in December 2033.
• In February 2025, NHPC Ltd, India’s largest hydropower producer, announced the commissioning of hydro projects with a total capacity of 2,170 megawatts (MW) in Arunachal Pradesh by the end of FY26. The company aims to open at least 22 hydropower projects in India in the near future.
