where policymakers, engineers, architects, consultants, developers, manufacturers, researchers and industry professionals can exchange ideas and explore practical solutions for improving the country’s water and sanitation systems.
As Indian cities continue to expand rapidly, ensuring reliable access to water and maintaining sanitation infrastructure has become increasingly important. Urban growth has placed significant pressure on existing systems, making efficient operation and maintenance a key priority for governments, civic bodies and industry stakeholders. IPC 2026 will focus on addressing these concerns through discussions on sustainability, technological innovation, infrastructure management and best practices from across the sector.
The conference programme will include keynote addresses, technical presentations, panel discussions, industry case studies and networking sessions. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from experts, share experiences and gain insights into emerging trends that are shaping the future of water management and plumbing systems.
Announcing the event, Gurmit Singh Arora, National President of the Indian Plumbing Association, said that India’s growing urban centres are facing major challenges related to water availability, sanitation infrastructure and resource management. He emphasised that solving these issues requires collaboration among all stakeholders, including government agencies, industry experts and infrastructure professionals.
According to Arora, the conference will serve as an important forum for discussing current challenges while identifying practical and sustainable solutions that can contribute to the country’s long-term development goals.
He also highlighted Chennai’s role as an ideal host city for the event. Over the years, Chennai has gained recognition for its efforts in infrastructure development, engineering innovation and sustainable urban planning. The city has also faced and managed several water-related challenges, providing valuable lessons for professionals working in similar environments across India.
Over the last three decades, the Indian Plumbing Conference has established itself as one of the country’s most respected industry platforms. It has played a significant role in promoting professional standards, encouraging water conservation, advancing sustainable plumbing practices and supporting skill development throughout the sector.
The organisers expect strong participation from government officials, urban planners, architects, developers, consultants, manufacturers, students and researchers. The event is expected to encourage meaningful dialogue and collaboration aimed at building a more water-secure and sustainable future for India.
Further details regarding the venue, speakers, technical sessions and registration process will be announced by the organisers in the coming months.
