ETP Plant Cost in India – 2026 Industrial Guide

Capacity-wise effluent treatment plant cost, technology comparison, and compliance-driven pricing explained for Indian industries.

How Much Does an ETP Plant Cost in India?

Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) cost in India depends on industrial wastewater characteristics such as COD, BOD, TDS, oil & grease, and toxicity levels. Unlike sewage treatment plants, ETPs are custom-engineered systems.

In practice, ETP plant cost ranges between ₹60,000 to ₹2,00,000 per KLD, depending on treatment complexity, automation, and discharge norms.

ETP Cost by Capacity

10–25 KLD

₹10 – ₹25 Lakhs
Small manufacturing & labs

50–100 KLD

₹30 – ₹80 Lakhs
Pharma, textile, food units

200–500 KLD

₹1 – ₹4 Crore
Large industrial facilities

Factors Affecting ETP Plant Cost

  • ✔ Effluent strength and composition
  • ✔ Required treatment stages
  • ✔ Chemical dosing & sludge handling
  • ✔ ZLD or non-ZLD compliance
  • ✔ Automation & online monitoring
  • ✔ SPCB / CPCB regulations
