Sensex ends up 35pts Refusing to divulge names of IEP’s potential investees in Gujarat, Mathur said, “We cannot get into potable water because as a company we don’t think it’s ethical to charge for drinking water, but industrial water treatment is a different ball game and very profitable. Initially, we are looking at investing around Rs 100 crore.” Apart from industrial water service, IEP is also looking at the gas distribution sector and manufacturing industries in Gujarat. Mathur said that the company has evinced interest of investing in these sectors in the state. “However, as a company we don’t look at region-specific investment,” he added. IEP’s client portfolio comprises the likes of Amtek India, Bharti Infratel, Ikya Human Capital, Jai Balaji Industries, Mannapuram Group and Ocean Sparkle.
