Vipul Organics sets up membrane R&D and production hub in Gujarat

Membrane Technology is central to modern Industrial Operations and is widely used in water and wastewater treatment, food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, and industrial filtration. With the growing global focus on clean water access, resource recovery, and environmental compliance, membranes become essential in enabling efficient, reliable, and scalable solutions.

As per Fortune Business Insights the global water and wastewater treatment market size was valued at USD 323.32 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 346.41 billion in 2024 to USD 617.81 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period.

According to Market Research Future, India Water Treatment Market Size was valued at USD 2.30 Billion in 2024. The Water Treatment industry is projected to grow from USD 2.54 Billion in 2025 to USD 6.30 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.60% during the forecast period (2025 - 2034)

“Membranes represent a natural progression of our commitment to future-ready, sustainable solutions. This move builds on our core strengths in specialty chemicals and our experience with zero-liquid discharge technologies. As industries shift toward circularity and lower water footprints, we see membrane technology as a key enabler and a vital part of our vision for responsible growth,” says Mr. Vipul P Shah, Managing Director, Vipul Organics Limited.

This venture is led by the younger son of Mr. Vipul Shah, Dr. Vatsal Shah. Vatsal is a PhD in Membrane Technology from Imperial College, London.  Under Vatsal’s leadership, Vipul Organics is building a separate facility at its greenfield project at Saykha, Gujarat. This will be an independent unit at Sayakha focused entirely on membrane development and production and will have advanced R&D, engineering, and manufacturing functions. This facility will produce membrane solutions tailored for both Indian and international markets.

By entering the membrane segment, Vipul Organics is creating a platform that complements its core strengths while opening a new trajectory for growth. It is a calculated move aimed at derisking the business, broadening its technology base, and aligning with the evolving needs of global industry.
