Dharampal Satyapal Group becomes water positive
* Homegrown FMCG firm Dharampal Satyapal Group (DS Group) on Tuesday said it has been certified as a Water Positive company.

DS group, maker of mouth fresheners as Rajnigandha, Pass Pass and Catch masala, Pulse candy has been certified by GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment), a joint initiative of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, and TERI.

"This significant achievement follows a rigorous water assessment process conducted over a two-and-a-half-year period across its business units across 30 locations in India," the company said in a statement.

The interventions created a storage potential of 66 lakh KL.

This net-positive balance is enabled through an integrated approach that combines rainwater harvesting structures, wastewater reuse, recharge wells, water-efficient fixtures, and ecological restoration measures. Together, the interventions not only reduce freshwater dependency across DS Group operations but also strengthen water security in communities through large-scale conservation projects.
