Ahmedabad’s water shortage is a harsh truth that the industrialists can no longer afford to overlook. The recent telemetry data from the Central Ground Water Board reveals that groundwater levels in the districts around Ahmedabad are being continuously monitored due to high demand and extraction cycles.
With Ahmedabad developing under the Viksit Gujarat Industrial Policy 2026, the priority for industries is moving away from mere manufacturing to sustainable and high-quality industrial development. In such a scenario, water stewardship is crucial. ISO 14046 Certification gives you the data-driven way that your company requires to measure and mitigate your water footprint.
