01
Water Filtration
Removes sand, dust, suspended particles and other physical impurities from incoming water.
What is a Mineral Water Plant?
A mineral water plant is a controlled treatment and bottling facility where incoming water passes through selected purification and disinfection stages before being packed for consumption.
02
RO Purification
Reverse Osmosis provides deeper purification by reducing dissolved impurities and unwanted substances.
03
UV Treatment
Ultraviolet treatment helps control bacteria and other microorganisms.
04
Ozone Treatment
Ozonation provides an additional disinfection stage and supports water quality during storage.
05
Filling & Packaging
Treated water is filled, sealed, labelled and packed for distribution.
Important:
The final product must meet the applicable quality and regulatory requirements before commercial sale.
Mineral Water Plant Cost in India
There is no single price for every project. Your investment changes with production capacity, automation, machinery, water quality, packaging format and infrastructure.
| Plant Size | Approx. Cost | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|
| Small Mineral Water Plant | ₹10 lakh – ₹15 lakh | Local supply, 20-litre jars, small towns, entry-level business |
| Medium Water Plant | ₹20 lakh – ₹30 lakh | Bottles and jars, local brand, distributors and shops |
| Large Commercial Plant | ₹45 lakh – ₹1 crore+ | Large production, wider distribution, franchise and commercial operations |
Note: These are broad indicative ranges. A project quote should be calculated after finalising capacity,
machinery, packaging system, building and other project requirements.
Plant capacities — from first bottle to full-scale line.
Choose the treatment capacity around your market demand, while configuring the bottling line around bottle size and required output.
