About Us
Incorporated in April 2025, Bharat Ecolabs is a cleantech innovation company dedicated to addressing India’s most urgent environmental challenges through decentralized, technology-driven solutions. The name reflects our mission and values: “Bharat” represents national identity and self-reliance, “Eco” signifies our focus on clean technologies, and “Labs” highlights our emphasis on innovation and research. Our initial focus is on developing a diversified clean technology portfolio, starting with packaged sewage treatment plants (the Terra S Series, ranging from 5 to 100 KLD) and green hydrogen systems. These offerings align with the compliance requirements of the Liquid Waste Management Rules 2021. Looking ahead, our R&D efforts will delve into advanced and sustainable innovations such as biochar, graphene-based membranes, AI and IoT integration, and synthetic microbial consortia to drive long-term impact. These efforts align with our vision to build a cleaner, greener India—one innovation at a time.
We are authorized partner for development and promotion of ISR (In-Situ Reactor) Modular STP technology that enables the installation of sewage treatment plants directly on open drains—eliminating the need for land acquisition, complex conveyance systems, or high-capex infrastructure. With advanced enzymatic treatment, low hydraulic retention time, and integrated tertiary filtration, our systems deliver clear, odorless effluent while minimizing sludge generation and operational complexity.
At Bharat Ecolabs, we are bridging environmental science with smart technology. By integrating AI-powered monitoring and IoT-based automation into our plants, we ensure real-time performance tracking, predictive maintenance, and operational transparency. Backed by research collaborations with premier institutions, and recognized by CPHEEO under the SMB-Urban 2.0 initiative, we are redefining what it means to build sustainable sanitation systems for India’s cities and beyond.
