The Silent Crisis in Our Pipes

India's industrial arteries are clogged. The economic cost is staggering, but the human cost is unacceptable.

₹0 Cr+

Annual Maintenance Cost

Across urban and industrial sectors due to inefficient cleaning methods.

0%

Efficiency Loss

Suffered by Oil & Gas, Chemical, and Food Processing pipelines due to scaling.

0+

Deaths Annually

From manual sewer cleaning and pipeline maintenance ("Manual Scavenging").

Current Challenges

  • Sewer systems in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata blocked by plastic and sediment.
  • Industrial pipelines facing severe scaling, corrosion, and debris accumulation.
  • 72.7% of wastewater goes untreated due to lack of mechanized solutions.
  • Manual cleaning is hazardous, inefficient, and cannot reach deep sections.
Proposed Solution

Introducing INDROV:
The Intelligent Rover

A compact, modular in-pipe rover that locates and clears blockages using adaptive mechanical cutters, onboard sensing, and semi-autonomous control.

Adaptive Design

Lead screw-driven expansion arms allow navigation in pipes from 7 to 12 inches.

Safety First

Wired control ensures safe operation and reliable recovery. Eliminates human entry.

Multi-Domain

Engineered for industrial pipelines, municipal drainage, and borewell rescue.
