From the makers of the Nano comes the world's cheapest water purifier using nano technology
WHY SWACH IS SPECIAL
At Rs 749, the Tata Swach is the cheapest water purifier to hit the market and targets rural areas. It does not need running water or electricity. Its cartridge contains material that kills harmful germs and bacteria.
It can purify up to 3,000 litres of water after which the cartridge stops water flow, giving a lead time to replace the cartridge
WHY IT COUNTS

PRICE PULL
At an estimated Rs 30 per month for a family of five people, low-cost water purifier Tata Swach sets a new market benchmark.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Swach blends low-cost ingredients such as rice husk with high-end nano technology.
WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE
TCS Innovation Labs, an arm of IT firm Tata Consultancy Services conceptualised the product being made by Tata Chemicals and partnered by three other group firms – Titan Industries, Rallis India and Tata Teleservices.
