Daiki Axis to Invest ₹200 Crore in Third India Manufacturing Plant at Tumakuru, Karnataka
Japan-based water treatment solutions provider Daiki Axis will invest about ₹200 crore to set up its third manufacturing facility in India at Tumakuru, Karnataka. The facility will be operated by the company's wholly owned local subsidiary, Daiki Axis India.
The new plant will manufacture and assemble sewage treatment systems based on Japan's proprietary "Johkasou" technology, a decentralised wastewater treatment system that treats domestic sewage at the point of generation, eliminating the need to transport wastewater through extensive sewer networks and enabling water reuse.
Daiki Axis currently operates two manufacturing facilities in India, at Vadodara, Gujarat, and Palwal, Haryana. The Tumakuru facility will be the company's third plant in the country, expanding its manufacturing and distribution footprint into southern India.
The company said the expansion aligns with India's rising urbanisation, industrial expansion, and increasing pressure on water resources, as well as the government's Make in India initiative and the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision for sustainable urban infrastructure and water management. No specific timeline for commissioning the Tumakuru plant was disclosed in the available information.
