VA Tech Wabag - Potential Multibagger
Why I think VA Tech Wabag could be a mulitbagger (I hold the stock from IPO)
Population Growth + Climate Change will lead to water shortage, across the world
In India, more so, because both are happening at a fast pace
By 2025 (according to Scientific American), demand for water could rise upto 120% in most of India
Basically, what that means is that, we won't have water, but demand is there for it
In order to get that water we need, we will have to either -
1) Increase the price of water to reduce demand (won't work!) ..
2) Conserve Rain Water (possible, but can Climate have a devastating effect?)
3) Irrigation techniques (Jain Irrigation to benefit)
4) Finally, companies like VA Tech Wabag, which take Salty water and generate fresh water from them
With the technologies that convert salty water (97% of water is salty) to fresh water not so easy to replicate,...Companies like VA Tech Wabag, given the right cost and techniques could benefit hugely
India has a large part of its land surrounded by water and setting up these plants would not be isolated either
Again, the potential to be a multibagger is there, it remains to be seen whether execution & investment are coming in from Govt
