Kochi (Cochin), the commercial capital of Kerala, is a fast-growing metropolitan city with a strong mix of tourism, port activity, IT parks, healthcare hubs, educational institutions, and residential expansion. With high population density, heavy rainfall, coastal influence, and rising health awareness, the demand for safe, hygienic, BIS-certified packaged drinking water is consistently increasing.
From hotels, resorts, houseboats, hospitals, apartments, offices, and educational campuses to industrial and port-related facilities, Kochi requires reliable, well-treated mineral water systems that can handle its unique raw water conditions.
As experienced mineral water plant manufacturers, Metson Machines provides turnkey mineral water plant solutions in Kochi, customized to local water quality, climate, and demand patterns.
Why Kochi Needs High-Quality Mineral Water Plants
Urban, Commercial & Residential Demand
Kochi’s expanding urban population, high-rise apartments, gated communities, and commercial complexes depend heavily on treated and packaged drinking water due to inconsistent municipal supply quality.
Tourism, Hospitality & Marine Sector
Hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, cruise terminals, houseboats, and restaurants require continuous, high-quality drinking water for guests and operations. Many hospitality operators prefer in-house bottling to reduce cost and ensure quality.
Healthcare & Education Hub
Kochi hosts some of Kerala’s largest multi-specialty hospitals, medical colleges, nursing institutions, and universities, all of which require BIS-compliant, microbiologically safe water for patients, laboratories, and students.
Local Water Quality Challenges
Kochi’s water sources—borewells, open wells, rivers, and municipal supply—are affected by high salinity and brackish water intrusion due to coastal influence, variable TDS and hardness, iron and turbidity in groundwater, high microbial load due to humidity and monsoon rainfall, and seasonal contamination from surface runoff and backwaters. These conditions make advanced RO-based purification with strong pre-treatment and disinfection essential.
Kochi Water & Soil Characteristics (Key Considerations)
Coastal and backwater proximity leads to salinity and TDS fluctuation, requiring high-rejection RO membranes. Laterite and sandy soil contributes to iron and turbidity, requiring iron removal and multimedia filtration. Heavy monsoon rainfall increases microbial contamination, making UV and ozone disinfection essential. High humidity and temperature increase bacterial growth risk, requiring hygienic stainless steel piping and automation. Mixed water sources cause inconsistent quality, which requires modular and flexible RO system design.
Metson Machines – Mineral Water Plant Solutions for Kochi
We design and install customized mineral water plants suited for Kochi’s coastal and high-rainfall environment, ensuring long-term reliability and regulatory compliance.
Plant Capacities Offered
Small-scale plants ranging from 500 to 2,000 LPH are ideal for apartments, offices, schools, clinics, and small water brands. Medium-scale plants from 3,000 to 10,000 LPH are suitable for hotels, hospitals, colleges, resorts, and gated communities. Large-scale plants of 10,000 to 25,000 LPH and above are designed for bulk bottling, distribution networks, and branded packaged water operations.
Key Systems & Technology
Systems include raw water pre-treatment using sand, carbon, and iron removal filters, softening and anti-scalant dosing where required, reverse osmosis for primary purification, UV and ozone disinfection for microbial safety, mineral dosing and pH balancing for taste and BIS compliance, automatic PET bottle filling lines from 200 ml to 2 L, 20-liter jar washing, filling, and capping systems, stainless steel hygienic piping, automation, and in-house quality testing aligned with BIS and FSSAI standards. All systems are engineered specifically for Kochi’s water profile and humidity conditions.
Tailored Design for Kochi Water Sources
Each project begins with raw water testing for TDS, salinity, iron, and microbial parameters, followed by a site study covering space availability, drainage, humidity, and power supply. Based on this, a customized process flow design and scalable system layout is created to ensure consistent output quality despite seasonal variations.
Turnkey Execution & After-Sales Support in Kochi
Our scope includes complete plant design, supply, and installation, electrical and mechanical integration, operator training with SOP documentation, annual maintenance contracts, local spare parts support including RO membranes, pumps, UV lamps, and valves, and fast-response service coverage across Kochi and nearby districts.
Investment & Return Potential in Kochi Market
Small plants with capacities of 500 to 2,000 LPH typically require an investment of ₹3 to 8 lakhs and can produce 4,000 to 16,000 bottles per day with an expected ROI of 12 to 18 months. Medium plants of 3,000 to 10,000 LPH require ₹12 to 30 lakhs and produce 24,000 to 80,000 bottles daily with similar ROI timelines. Large plants above 10,000 LPH require investments from ₹50 lakhs onward and can generate up to 300,000 bottles per day with ROI between 12 and 24 months. Actual costs vary based on automation level, packaging type, and raw water condition.
Licensing & Compliance Support in Kerala
We assist with BIS Certification under IS 14543 for packaged drinking water, FSSAI licensing, Kerala State Pollution Control Board approvals, groundwater authority permissions where applicable, and complete documentation and laboratory testing coordination.
Typical Installations in Kochi
Our systems are installed at resorts and hotels operating 5,000 LPH plants for guest consumption, hospital campuses using 3,000 LPH RO plants for drinking and laboratory use, residential apartment complexes running 2,000 LPH in-house systems, and local bottled water brands supplying PET bottles and 20-liter jars.
