Bangalore Water Supply & Sewage Board became the first water utility board in India to receive the ISO 50001:2018 certification for energy management systems. This certification recognises adherence to international standards in efficient energy use and sustainability. The board implemented advanced systems across its pumping stations and administrative units to optimise energy consumption. This achievement highlights the importance of integrating technology and environmental responsibility in urban water management, setting a benchmark for other utilities across India to adopt energy-efficient and climate-resilient practices.
