Industrial Development services private Ltd have embarked on a journey to cultivate awareness among different stake holders about major issues pertaining to protection of the environment through the organization of an annual conference dealing with :

  • Key policy issues and commitments to national / International stipulations on emission control particularly with respect to CO2, NOx, SOx and particulates control
  • Waste water treatment encompassing produced water, aqueous effluent and recycle of treated effluent
  • Safe disposal of solid waste
  • Technology options available/ being developed to address increasingly stringent demands for environmental compliance.
