Ekki Water Technologies and Homa Pumpenfabrik GmbH have deepened their Indo-German collaboration with the launch of the LINUS Clog-Defense sewage pump range and the next phase of expansion for their joint venture, Ekki Homa.
The LINUS Clog-Defense pumps are specifically engineered to prevent clogging in aggressive sewage environments, addressing one of India’s most persistent wastewater infrastructure challenges. The system enhances operational reliability and lifecycle performance, helping to reduce breakdowns and emergency downtime.
As part of its global growth strategy, the Homa Group has invested over US$30 million in expansion initiatives, including strengthening the Indian joint venture. Ekki Homa will design, manufacture, and scale purpose-built sewage pumping solutions for India and other emerging markets, adhering to global quality benchmarks while providing local support.
Kanishka Arumugam, co-CEO of Ekki Group, said:
“Ekki Homa is more than a partnership; it is a new, independent company focused solely on India’s sewage pumping needs. By combining Ekki’s decades of experience and nationwide presence with Homa’s global engineering leadership, we are creating a platform built for reliability, performance, and scale. Our goal is to make Ekki Homa the benchmark for sewage pumping solutions in India and emerging markets.”
Hans Hoffmann, CEO of Homa Pumpenfabrik GmbH, added:
“This joint venture is about more than introducing products—it is about creating a dedicated sewage pumping portfolio purpose-built for Indian conditions. By leveraging Homa’s engineering expertise and Ekki’s manufacturing capabilities, we are delivering solutions tailored to India’s operational, environmental, and sewage requirements.”
N K Ranganath, Chief Advisor of Ekki Homa, commented:
“Ekki Homa represents reliability, engineering integrity, and European-quality performance at accessible prices. The market opportunity is historic, the need urgent, and this is Ekki Homa’s moment to grow.”
With over 70% of India’s sewage discharged untreated, rapid urbanisation, and the expansion of decentralised sewage systems, demand for dependable, clog-resistant pumping solutions is rising. The LINUS range meets this need, handling heavy solids and fibrous waste in residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal applications.
Advanced sealing, motor protection, robust construction, and wear-compensating designs reduce energy use, maintenance, and total lifecycle costs. Built to withstand corrosive and abrasive conditions, the LINUS pumps deliver consistent efficiency under continuous operation, making them a reliable choice for India’s challenging wastewater landscape.
