Industry Trends & Business Environment
Macro/Industry Trends:
- Rising water scarcity in India (projected to decrease from 1,486 m³ per capita in 2021 to 1,367 m³ by 2031)
- Tighter environmental compliance and ZLD requirements
- Increasing adoption of water recycling solutions
- India's naval modernization creating multi-year opportunity for onboard desalination systems
- Government implementing Liquid Waste Management Rules focusing on mandatory recycling for large water consumers
- GHG emission targets set for industries with non-compliance penalties
Impact on Company: Water scarcity and regulatory changes are turning recycling and closed-loop systems into operating-continuity priorities, driving demand for Concord's ZLD and high-recovery systems. Defence sector expansion creates new market opportunities for compact seawater-desalination solutions.
Management Commentary & Growth Outlook
Strategic Outlook: "With a healthy order book and improving execution, we remain focused on converting our India-led opportunity pipeline and gradually normalising international deliveries." - Leadership team
Growth Drivers: Underlying demand environment remains healthy across steel, solar manufacturing, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Emerging initiatives including H-Xtreme, industrial CBG, membrane technologies and dehumidification continue to progress towards commercial scale-up.
Market Position: Company positions itself as a leading ZLD solution provider in India with end-to-end expertise from design and commissioning to plant optimisation, O&M and consumables.
Risks and Opportunities: Risks include fluctuations in earnings, ability to manage growth, competition, economic growth fluctuations, ability to attract and retain professionals, time and cost overruns. Opportunities include India's water scarcity, regulatory changes, and expansion into new technologies and markets.
ESG Updates
Sustainability Impact: CBG plants transform waste into energy, lowering the system's overall energy footprint and reducing energy procurement costs. ZLD technology eliminates liquid waste by recovering and reusing all wastewater, preventing environmental discharge.
