Neuromod Aqua has raised an undisclosed quantity in pre-seed funding from Sportskeeda founder Porush Jain because the New Delhi-based water infrastructure startup seeks to develop factory-built wastewater remedy techniques.

The startup plans to make use of the funding to determine a producing facility, develop and validate its productised sewage remedy plant, perform its preliminary industrial deployments and develop its course of engineering and repair capabilities.

Neuromod Aqua is led by co-founders Anuj Arora and Anand Dad and is growing modular wastewater remedy vegetation utilizing established applied sciences together with shifting mattress biofilm reactor (MBBR), membrane bioreactor (MBR) and sequencing batch reactor (SBR) techniques.

Its method is concentrated on standardising how remedy vegetation are designed, manufactured, put in and serviced, moderately than growing a brand new wastewater remedy course of.

The startup stated its platform will use standardised modules that may be configured for various capacities and remedy necessities. Course of design will proceed to fluctuate in accordance with particular person websites, whereas parts together with structural techniques, tools interfaces, set up procedures and servicing are meant to be standardised.

“Wastewater remedy doesn’t undergo from a scarcity of acronyms or confirmed processes. It suffers from unpredictable execution, fragmented accountability and poor long-term possession. We’re taking what already works scientifically and redesigning how it’s manufactured, delivered and operated,” Arora stated.

India’s city areas generate an estimated 72,368 million litres of sewage a day, in accordance with the Central Air pollution Management Board’s nationwide stock. Put in remedy capability stands at 31,841 million litres per day (MLD), whereas precise utilised capability is 20,235 MLD, equal to about 28% of estimated sewage era.

A 2025 evaluation by the Council on Power, Surroundings and Water stated India’s used-water remedy capability might want to enhance by greater than 70,000 MLD by 2047 to fulfill nationwide remedy targets.

Over the following 12 months, Neuromod Aqua plans to finish its manufacturing facility and perform its preliminary deployments in Delhi NCR, whereas growing a service and spare-parts community.

It additionally plans to develop into effluent remedy, zero liquid discharge, water reuse, reverse osmosis and demineralisation purposes.

Neuromod Aqua stated it expects companies to account for a rising share of its income, together with annual upkeep contracts, operations and upkeep, compliance help, tools substitute and distant monitoring.

“Water infrastructure is a big and needed market through which execution high quality issues as a lot as remedy know-how. Neuromod’s give attention to standardization, manufacturing self-discipline and long-term service offers it the potential to construct a scalable firm in a sector that has historically remained project-led,” Jain stated.
