ABOUT IPA
Indian Plumbing Association
Indian Plumbing Association is an NGO, an apex body of plumbing professionals in India established in 1993, with the objective to promote development of plumbing and building services industry. The IPA has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Water Mission (NWM), Ministry of Jal Shakti (MoJS) dated 7th July 2023, to promote public education, awareness, and outreach programs on water stewardship. The MoU focuses on collaborating on initiatives aimed at reducing water consumption and raising awareness regarding the looming water crisis, ultimately moving towards achieving Net Zero neutrality in water and waste management. Consequently, the IPA has formed ‘Water Audit Council’, to promote water sustainability throughout India. As part of our initiative, we endeavour to offer comprehensive water audit services to various institutions nationwide, thereby monitoring water consumption across urban landscapes, aligning with one of the pivotal objectives outlined in the MoU.
