Godrej Enterprises Group Expands Community-Led Water Conservation Across States

New Delhi, 24 February, 2026: Godrej Enterprises Group has expanded its community-led water conservation initiatives across multiple states to strengthen local water security amid rising water stress and climate variability.

Anchored in the company’s Good & Green philosophy, the initiatives focus on restoring natural water systems, improving groundwater recharge and promoting sustainable water use in both rural and urban areas.

The company’s integrated water stewardship efforts include water body restoration, wastewater treatment, urban water regeneration and sustainable agriculture practices. According to the company, it has supported the restoration of 10 water bodies, planted 1,00,000 trees under afforestation projects and partnered with over 1,000 farmers to adopt water-efficient land-use practices.

These interventions are reported to help conserve over 300 million litres of water annually and treat nearly 1 lakh litres of wastewater each day, while contributing to improvements in groundwater levels in select regions.

Ashwini Deodeshmukh, Head – CSR and Sustainability Reporting, Godrej Enterprises Group, said, “Our approach to water stewardship is grounded in the belief that long-term water resilience must be built locally. By restoring water bodies, improving recharge and working closely with communities, we aim to create solutions that are both environmentally durable and socially relevant. These efforts go beyond addressing immediate water needs, they are about building ecosystems that can withstand climate variability and continue to support livelihoods over time.”

In Mohali, Punjab, the company has rejuvenated a 4-acre community pond in Chunni Kalan village. The project involved desilting, strengthening embankments and installing sedimentation and filtration systems, increasing the pond’s storage capacity to 336 lakh litres. The restored pond supports more than 400 households and provides irrigation for over 100 acres of farmland.

In Chennai, Tamil Nadu, the company has supported the restoration of urban water bodies to improve water storage, reduce flood risks and enhance groundwater recharge. The restored sites also contribute to biodiversity by supporting freshwater species and bird habitats.

The initiatives are designed to improve water retention, reduce vulnerability to climate extremes and strengthen long-term water infrastructure at the community level.
