HIGHLIGHTS


  1. India's chronic mismanagement of water is emerging as a threat to Make in India
  2. Most of the water intensive industries are predominantly located in the parched regions
  3. Poor demand management adds to the challenge of setting up in a dry country

And although most of the sites for planned industrial corridors are supposed to include water 
infrastructure, they are predominantly located in the parched western regions.
