As India accelerates its journey toward becoming a $5 trillion economy, the importance of sustainable infrastructure is more pressing than ever. Among the most critical needs is effective wastewater management, a challenge that Daiki Axis India is boldly addressing with innovation, responsibility, and a deep commitment to the nation’s future.

Japanese Expertise, Indian Implementation

At the heart of Daiki Axis India’s mission is the integration of advanced Japanese Johkasou technology with India’s local needs. With more than 2 million installations worldwide, Johkasou systems are decentralized wastewater treatment units designed to operate efficiently at the source, whether in homes, factories, hospitals, schools, or remote villages.

By manufacturing these systems locally, Daiki Axis ensures that the technology remains cost-effective, scalable, and quick to deploy, even in areas lacking sewerage infrastructure.

“India generates vast volumes of wastewater daily, yet much of it still goes untreated. Johkasou makes it possible for communities to treat their sewage at the source, reuse treated water and protect our rivers, lakes and aquifers. It’s an immediate, scalable and sustainable alternative to waiting for big infrastructure projects.”

Empowering Local Infrastructure through ‘Make in India’

Daiki Axis India has fully aligned itself with the Make in India initiative. Its manufacturing plants in Palwal (Haryana) and Vadodara (Gujarat) already produce high-quality Johkasou units, while a third facility under construction in Tumkur (Karnataka) will further expand production capacity to over 2,000 units annually.

This local manufacturing model brings immense benefits:

• Fast, reliable supply
• Reduced costs
• Local job creation
• Strong after-sales support through over 30 partner companies across India

Reimagining Wastewater: Every Drop Counts

Daiki Axis India isn’t just building systems — it’s reshaping mindsets. Instead of viewing wastewater as waste, they encourage treating it as a renewable resource. By treating water directly at the source and reusing it for non-potable uses like toilet flushing, landscaping, and road cleaning, communities:

• Reduce dependency on freshwater
• Minimize groundwater depletion
• Lower energy costs for water transportation

This model supports India’s broader vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047 — creating clean, resilient cities and healthy communities with sustainable infrastructure.

Meeting Urgent Needs with Scalable Solutions

India’s urbanization and rapid population growth demand decentralized wastewater systems that are quick to install, easy to operate, and environmentally responsible. Daiki Axis is addressing this by offering Johkasou units that:

• Work in both residential and industrial settings
• Are compact and modular
• Require low maintenance
• Provide long-term cost and environmental benefits

“The Commitment of Daiki Axis to Indian market is remarkable. From Developing Johkasou Technology suited for Indian environmental requirements and regulations, to establishing 2 Make In India Factories, 4 offices, a local R&D Centre, and an experience of installing over 1000 projects – Daiki Axis is looking to scale up and serve Indian customers looking for reliable STP solutions for ESG, Net Zero, Swachh Bharat and Water Positive movement.”

“It is a very promising supplement to the centralized sewerage system. Very well suited for wastewater treatment in small habitations in eco-sensitive areas of the Himalayas and other similar regions of India. The effluent quality is too good for even non- potable reuse. The maintenance is effortless; a single person can manage 200-300 systems. Energy consumption can be optimized by adding solar panels.”

“We have done evaluation of Johkasou system for treatment of domestic wastewater for nutrient removal as per the target of NGT orders and micropollutant removal. The project is part of our JICA funded R&D project with Indian and Japanese experts. We found Johkasou demonstrated high removal rate and consistent performance, the process is robust, operations are simple, noise and odor free. We are excited about the next phase of joint development and application potential for Indian market.”
