In the rapidly evolving landscape of India’s environmental infrastructure, two formidable players—Enviro Infra Engineers and EMS Limited—are emerging as key architects of the nation’s wastewater management transformation.
As India grapples with the environmental consequences of unprecedented urbanisation and industrial expansion, where a staggering 78% of sewage remains untreated, these companies are not just service providers but critical problem solvers.
Their innovative approaches and sustainable solutions represent more than corporate strategies—they are lifelines for India’s ecological and public health future.
This comparative analysis delves into the strategic capabilities, financial dynamics, and growth potential of Enviro Infra Engineers and EMS Limited, offering insights into how these companies are reshaping the complex terrain of water resource management in one of the world’s most challenging and rapidly changing markets.
Financial Highlights
For Enviro Infra Engineers, the 2023 vs. 2024 comparison shows an increase in sales from Rs. 338 crore to Rs. 729 crore, a 115.68% increase. However, the company saw a significant increase in net profit, growing by 63.08% from 65 to 106. Meanwhile, borrowings remained flat at 234 during this period.
Turning to EMS, the company also experienced a decrease in sales from Rs. 538 crore in 2023 to Rs. 793 crore in 2024, a 47.39% increase. In contrast to Enviro Infra Engineers, EMS had a smaller increase in net profit, rising by 40.3% from Rs. 109 crore to Rs. 153 crore. But Enviro saw a more substantial rise in borrowings, up 49.6% from Rs. 65 crore to Rs. 234 crore.
Manufacturing Capability
Both Enviro Infra and EMS showcase formidable manufacturing and engineering capabilities. Enviro Infra has successfully completed 22 projects with capacities exceeding 10 million litres per day (MLD). Impressively, within just five years, they developed 20 WWTPs and WSSPs, aggregating a substantial 430.20 MLD capacity.
Similarly, EMS has evolved from modest beginnings, scaling from 4 MLD to an impressive 80 MLD project capacity. Furthermore, their team of 400+ employees, including 65+ engineers, underscores their commitment to technical excellence.
Order Book
Enviro Infra Engineers has demonstrated remarkable prowess in project execution. By August 15, 2022, the company boasted an impressive order book of Rs. 1,568.94 crore, comprising 15 ongoing projects. Notably, these include 10 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and 5 water supply and sewage projects (WSSPs).
Consequently, the company’s consistent growth stems from strategic bidding and robust project management capabilities. Moreover, their technical expertise and financial strength have enabled them to successfully secure and execute complex infrastructure projects.
On the other hand, EMS has emerged as a robust player in the water infrastructure sector, boasting an impressive order book of over Rs. 2,345 crore slated for revenue realisation. The company’s strategic approach to project selection and execution has enabled them to secure high-value contracts across multiple states, including significant joint venture projects in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh.

Market positioning
EMS has strategically positioned itself in high-growth non-metro markets across Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, and beyond. Notably, their business model leverages World Bank-funded projects, ensuring robust cash flows and minimal financial risks.
Interestingly, EMS recently went public in September 2023, signalling a transformative phase. They’ve already won three orders worth Rs. 800 crore, including a significant Rs. 535.19 crore joint venture project in Uttarakhand.
Enviro Infra, meanwhile, emphasises its operational maintenance (O&M) capabilities. As of August 15, 2022, their O&M order book encompassed 26 WWTPs and WSSPs, valued at Rs. 432.27 crore.
Industry Outlook
The Indian water and wastewater sector is set to grow significantly, driven by rapid urbanisation, which will increase water demand and wastewater generation. Government programs like Namami Gange and Swachh Bharat Mission are focusing on water cleanliness and reuse. The construction sector is expanding, fuelled by urbanisation and initiatives like Housing for All.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) allocated ₹2.78 lakh crore for FY 2024-25 for highway development. In the power sector, India’s electricity demand is projected to grow at 6.2% annually and double by FY 2031-32, with per capita consumption expected to rise as economic development progresses.
conclusion
In the evolving water infrastructure landscape, Enviro Infra and EMS demonstrate remarkable synergy, driving technological innovation and sustainable solutions. Their diversified portfolios, robust financial models, and strategic market expansion highlight their pivotal role in transforming India’s environmental engineering sector, promising a more resilient and efficient future.
