About MEGHDOOT:
- MEGHDOOT, the company’s one-of-a-kind solution, is based on an alternative water idea called Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG), which taps into a large, renewable water resource called AIR, which contains six times as much fresh water than all of the world’s rivers combined.
- With global freshwater shortage becoming a hot topic, innovative and revolutionary solutions like MEGHDOOT are needed to quickly ensure water availability for customers.
- Domestic users in water-scarce areas, top Fortune 500 firms, significant public-sector companies, hospitals, schools, under-served communities, and many more have already benefited from the proven technology.
- In this quest, the business has created MEGHDOOT, a nature-based sustainable water solution that can help alleviate global water shortages by creating water on a large scale at a low cost. MEGHDOOT is an Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) that extracts moisture from AIR, a large and renewable water supply, to produce fresh water whenever and wherever it is required.
- With over 600 installations in 27 countries, the firm is currently a top AWG maker in the world, ensuring water security.
- Top Fortune 500 corporations, huge Indian governmental institutions, people-on-the-go, underserved communities, and even household users in water-scarce areas have all used their proven solution to meet their potable water needs.
By assisting in the establishment of the World’s First Bottling Plant in Hyderabad, which draws all of its water from the AIR and manufactures water at scale, the business has also developed a new Bottled Water category, namely, AIR Water. To date, the firm has created over 100 million liters of fresh water from the air in a sustainable manner, preventing the exploitation of 200 million liters of valuable groundwater and surface water sources.
