Sintex, a part of Welspun World and India’s most trusted manufacturer of premium water storage solutions, has announced the launch of its innovative Sintex ‘SMART’ Tank in Odisha. Crafted from 100% food-grade virgin plastic, the SMART Tank has been designed to prioritise health, hygiene, and well-being, especially during the monsoon season when clean water access is critical. Priced affordably, the SMART Tank offers a safe and durable storage solution, making high-quality water tanks accessible to budget-conscious households across the state.

While the market offers many plastic tanks at economical prices, a significant number are made from recycled plastic — often compromising safety and posing serious health risks. Consumers typically focus on aspects like price, brand, or colour when selecting a water tank, but often overlook the quality of plastic used. This oversight can have health implications. Recycled plastic, due to its unknown origin and previous usage, can release harmful substances such as bisphenol-A (BPA), phthalates, benzene, formaldehyde, and other toxins. Multiple studies have linked these chemicals to critical health concerns including cancer, fertility issues, respiratory complications, skin problems, and even DNA damage.

Commenting on the launch, Yashovardhan Agarwal, Managing Director, Welspun BAPL Limited and Director, Sintex, said, “At Sintex, our mission is to deliver innovative, hygienic, and sustainable water storage solutions that meet the evolving needs of Indian households. With SMART Tank, we are proud to offer a product that not only assures durability and quality but also advances public health by promoting safe water storage. Access to clean water is fundamental to healthy living, and this launch is yet another step in our journey to create a water-secure and healthier future for all.”

Under its guiding philosophy of ‘Saaf, Safe, Sahi’, Sintex reinforces its commitment to manufacturing tanks exclusively from 100% food-grade virgin plastic, including the new SMART Tank. This latest offering directly addresses rising concerns around water safety and hygiene, with a design and build that ensures households have access to pure, contamination-free water.

What sets the SMART Tank apart is its unique tall design, which optimises vertical space and enhances storage capacity without occupying large floor areas. This makes it ideal for apartments, compact homes, schools, institutions, and commercial establishments where space efficiency and hygiene are both top priorities. Built to last, like all Sintex products, the SMART Tank is engineered for longevity and reliability — tested to perform beyond standard warranty periods and consistently maintain quality over time.

With this launch, Sintex aims to shift the conversation around water tanks from just strength and durability to a more comprehensive focus on health and safety. The company emphasizes that choosing a safer water tank can play a crucial role in preventing waterborne diseases and improving overall household health — especially in rural and semi-urban areas where awareness about material safety remains low.

The SMART Tank is now available for purchase through Sintex’s extensive dealer network across Odisha, bringing trusted quality, enhanced hygiene, and safe water storage closer to homes. It is currently offered in three capacities — 500 litres, 750 litres, and 1000 litres — catering to a wide range of domestic and institutional needs.
