Indore's water

Narmada water, lifted 80 km, every other day

Indore drinks Narmada water pumped up from Jalud and released on alternate days, with Yashwant Sagar and thousands of tubewells filling the gaps. We help you catch every supply day and keep what you store clean.

Indore's tap water is lifted from the Narmada at Jalud, about 80 km away, and shared out by the Indore Municipal Corporation on alternate days. Around 450 MLD arrives against a need closer to 650 MLD, so nearly a third of the city outside the Narmada network leans on tubewells and tankers, and the 2026 monsoon fell about 27 per cent short. From Rajwada's lanes and Bhagirathpura to Vijay Nagar and the townships along the Super Corridor, Devyami installs level controllers that make every supply day count, pressure systems for towers, and filtration that guards against what leaking pipes let in.

How water reaches you in Indore

  1. Step 1

    Narmada at Jalud

    Raw water is drawn from the Narmada at Jalud in Khargone district.

  2. Step 2

    Long-distance pumping

    It is pumped about 80 km to the city through municipal pipelines, at an electricity cost of around Rs 25 crore a month.

  3. Step 3

    Alternate-day release

    IMC fills overhead tanks and supplies each area on alternate days, topped up by about 30 MLD from Yashwant Sagar and by municipal tubewells.

  4. Step 4

    Your storage

    Whatever arrives on your supply day has to be caught in the sump and lifted to the overhead tank to last until the next one.

  5. Where we take over

    Your tank, automated

    Sensors read every tank, an APCON controller runs and protects the pump, and the app shows it all on your phone.

Indore's water, honestly

What Indore throws at your water system, and the fix for each

Making alternate days last

Narmada water reaches Indore homes on alternate days, so each supply has to fill storage for two. With around 450 MLD available against a requirement near 650 MLD, IMC has banned bulk Narmada connections and announced fines for washing vehicles with drinking water.

How we fix it

A multi-tank level controller fills your sump and overhead tanks in sequence the moment supply starts, even at odd hours, and stops each fill when its tank is full.

Contamination in ageing lines

At the start of 2026, a diarrhoea outbreak in Bhagirathpura was linked by civic officials to a leak in the main drinking-water pipeline at a spot where a toilet had been built above it.

How we fix it

We fit multigrade filtration and UV on the inlet, with RO for drinking water, so a contaminated supply day does not become a health problem at home.

Tubewells that run dry

About 30 per cent of Indore, mostly areas outside the Narmada pipeline network, depends on tubewells or tankers. The mayor said around 6,000 tubewells dried up last summer, and the 27 per cent rainfall shortfall of 2026 could push that number higher.

How we fix it

Level sensors and pump-status alerts on the Devyami IoT app tell you when the borewell has stopped delivering, and APCON dry-run protection shuts the motor before it burns out.

Towers on the Super Corridor

Large townships are coming up along the Super Corridor, including a 450-acre integrated township announced in July 2025. Narmada Phase IV aims for 900 MLD and 24x7 pressurised supply by 2029, with district metering and SCADA monitoring.

How we fix it

An APCON multi-pump controller runs up to six pumps as one VFD-driven booster set, holding steady pressure on every floor and sharing run-hours across the pumps.

Colder Decembers than you expect

December 2025 brought Indore its coldest nights in about ten years, with the minimum near 5°C, and cold-wave warnings were issued for the city and nearby districts.

How we fix it

A heat pump delivers hot water through a cold spell using far less electricity than a geyser, and keeps running economically for the rest of the year.

Through the year

Indore's water, season by season

Summer

Tubewells start failing and tanker trips rise, while Narmada water still comes only every other day.

Dry-run protection and usage alerts →

Monsoon

A good monsoon recharges borewells and Yashwant Sagar; in 2026 the district got about 27 per cent less rain than normal, so IMC is already planning for a tight summer.

Dewatering pumps and UV treatment →

Winter

Nights can drop to around 5°C in a cold spell, as they did in December 2025, and hot-water demand peaks.

Watch it run

Watch a building in Indore run its own water

This is the same diagram our customers see in the app. The sump and the overhead tank are both sensed, and one APCON controller decides when the pump runs.

  • The pump starts when the overhead tank is low, but only if the sump has water to give
  • It stops at your full level, so the tank never overflows
  • Dry run, overload and voltage faults trip it before the motor is damaged
  • Your phone shows each level, each pump run and each alert as it happens

Questions from Indore

What people here ask us

Our society in Indore gets Narmada water every other day. What should we automate?

Plan storage for at least two days of use, then automate the filling. Devyami's multi-tank level controller fills the sump and each overhead tank in turn from one pump set, and a twin motor driver adds a standby pump with shared duty so one pump failure does not cost you a supply day.

Our factory in Pithampur runs on borewells and tankers. How do we stop pumps burning out?

In dry spells Pithampur's municipal supply has dropped to about a third of demand, with many areas getting water once in four to five days in 2023. Fit APCON motor drivers with dry-run, overload, voltage and single-phasing protection on each borewell and transfer pump, and use the IoT app to see tank levels and trips across the plant on one screen.

Is Narmada tap water in Indore safe to drink after the Bhagirathpura outbreak?

Municipal water is treated, but it can pick up contamination from leaks on the way to you. We recommend RO or UV at the drinking-water point and a multigrade filter on the main inlet. If the water ever looks or smells wrong, stop using it and inform IMC.

Do you install and service Devyami systems in Indore?

Yes. Tell us about your building, society or factory and our engineers design the system around Indore's water. A Devyami dealer or installer then installs, commissions and services it locally, and every connected controller can be checked remotely through our platform. The first site consultation is free.

Will the automation keep working without internet or after a power cut?

Yes. Level switching, pressure control, schedules and every motor protection run inside the controller on your wall, not in the cloud. The internet only carries the live view and alerts to your phone. The controller keeps its own real-time clock and remembers its delays through a power cut.

Can you automate my existing pumps and tanks without new wiring?

Usually, yes. The APCON Motor Driver takes the old starter panel’s place on the wall, on the pump and tanks you already have. Wireless level sensors reach terrace and underground tanks where running a cable would mean breaking walls. A single-pump retrofit is usually done in a few hours.
