In urban areas, the careless disposal of industrial effluents and other wastes leads to poor quality of water. The CPCB directed MPCB to regulate various industry facilitators like Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) for treating and monitoring industrial effluents in a web based transparent manner.

The treated water from November 2016 till date is 70 MLD Litre Cubes which is used for irrigation by the farmers in the vicinity.

Kailash Desai, Sr. VP, Endress+Hauser said, "with the help of EQMS system MIDC Pune has provided a transparent way to monitor and supervise the execution of CPCB an MPCB regulations in real time with remote accessibility. We can proudly conclude that our process automation have given paradigm shift in betterment of control and efficiency at all fronts."

Dilip Singh Chauhan, the executive engineer at MIDC Ranjangaon said, "it was easy to install the EQMS and it has an extremely quick response time.The fact that by sitting at one place our engineer's can monitor the different levels of toxicity in water that has been already treated surely saves a lot of time and efforts. Till date we haven't faced any issues with the system as it has been working well as per the standards".
