Chennai/Hyderabad, August 21, 2025 – VA Tech WABAG Limited, the Chennai-based water-tech wizard that seems to think H2O is more valuable than gold, has just bagged a ₹46.50 crore contract from RenewSys India Pvt. Ltd., a leading solar cell manufacturer.
The mission? Deliver Ultra-Pure Water (UPW), an Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP), and a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system for RenewSys’ shiny new 2 GW solar cell manufacturing facility in Hyderabad. Translation: WABAG is about to make sure every drop of water in that plant is so clean it would shame bottled mineral water brands.

Why It’s a Big Deal
Solar cell manufacturing is thirsty business – not for chai, but for water so pure that a single speck of dust could ruin production. That’s where WABAG’s Ultra-Pure Water system comes in. Add to that an Effluent Treatment Plant (to deal with industrial wastewater) and Zero Liquid Discharge system (ensuring literally not a drop of wastewater goes waste), and you’ve got a sustainability triple-combo.
Think of it as a “spa treatment for water,” but on an industrial scale.
WABAG’s Take
Mr. V. Sivakumar, General Manager – Sales & Marketing, India Cluster, commented:
“This order marks WABAG’s foray into water management solutions for solar cell facilities – a high growth segment. It aligns with our strategy to diversify into Solar, Green Hydrogen, and Semi-Conductors. Our tech expertise and pricing helped us offer the lowest life-cycle cost. We thank RenewSys for their confidence in us.”
Corporate-speak translation: We’re planting our flag in solar, and this could be our golden ticket to more business in green
