Financial & Operational Performance of Safe Water Enterprises in India

This report aims to apprise the government, development partners, funding institutions, donors, and philanthropes of the sustainability challenges and initiate a policy dialogue on subsidy support for SWEs similar to piped water utility.

The report has four sections:

• Section I: Introduction captures the need of SWEs and some of the leading SWE implementers. It defines categories of SWE Life Cycle costs into various levels, such as field, cluster, partial cost, full cost, etc., to understand to which level the SWEs are sustainable and what are the sustainability gaps.
• Section II: SWE Operating and Financial Performance describes the various SWE models and maps their risks. It presents aggregated data of the SWE’s financial performance of the 60 Water ATMs cum Water Knowledge Resource Centers set up by the SWE Alliance Implementing partners under the program SEWAH.
• Section III: Viability Gap and Subsidies presents the annual viability gap for SWEs to be sustainable and describes the costs that are unmet from the revenues of the daily water sale.
  Section IV: Subsidy Model explains the various subsidy models in cash or kind available for the SWEs.
