New Booklet: Details and Ordering Information

Manthan Adhyayan Kendra, Badwani (MP) are pleased to present the Revised and Updated Version of WATER: PRIVATE, LIMITED - Issues in Privatisation, Corporatisation and Commercialisation of Water Sector in India.

This booklet is an updated version of the booklet that was brought out by Manthan in 2002.

About the Booklet

There is a surge of privatisation in the water sector in India. It is being justified in the name of bringing in new investments and increasing efficiency to address the myriad problems of the water sector. At the same time, a series of restructuring programs in many states are attempting to reform the water sector and transform it into a fully commercial and market operation.

This booklet attempts to present:
  Key issues in privatisation and commercialisation of water
  Global experiences of the promises and practices of privatisation
  An overview of privatisation projects in the country
  A broad picture of the commercialisation of the water sector under the reforms program
  Impacts of privatisation and commercialisation and emerging resistance
  Key players including the World Bank and Asian Development Bank and the roles played by them
  Possible options to privatization

Annexures include lists of failed privatisation projects across the world, privatised hydropower and water supply and sanitation projects in India, water sector reforms projects in various states along with the associated World Bank and ADB loans.
