A family enterprise since 1968 · Incorporated 1995

Engineering water access for rural India.

What we do

Turnkey water infrastructure — end to end.

One government. One mandate. Fifty-eight years.

Almost everything we've built has been for the Public Health Engineering Directorate, Government of West Bengal. Three generations of the Sonthalia family have worked with successive PHED engineers to design, install, and operate water infrastructure across the state's rural districts — from Sundarban to the northern hills.

"We think in decades, not quarters — because a village water scheme has to last as long."
