October 8, 2025: Membrane Group India’s latest funding round signals a broader shift in industrial water management, as demand grows for advanced treatment technologies across high-impact sectors. With a $50 million commitment from South Asia Growth Fund III, the company is positioning itself to meet rising needs in ultrapure water systems, wastewater treatment, and zero liquid discharge (ZLD) solutions.
The timing aligns with increased infrastructure investment in solar photovoltaics, semiconductors, and microelectronics, industries where water purity and reclamation are critical to operations. Membrane Group’s focus on resource recovery and large-scale project execution suggests a pivot toward more integrated, end-to-end solutions for industrial clients.
Funding Fuels Membrane Group’s Industrial Water Ambitions
Beyond technical expansion, the company plans to channel funds into research and development, aiming to improve system efficiency and sustainability. This includes bolstering its ability to deliver complex projects both within India and in international markets.
The move reflects a growing recognition of water as a constrained resource, particularly in manufacturing-heavy economies. By investing in scalable technologies, Membrane Group is aligning its growth strategy with long-term environmental and operational resilience.
The funding was led by GEF Capital Partners through its South Asia Growth Fund III. GEF Capital has previously backed ventures such as Sahyadri Farms, Sterlite Power Transmission, and TI Clean Mobility, with a focus on climate-conscious investments.
