EKKI Water Technologies and HOMA Pumpenfabrik GmbH have unveiled the LINUS Clog-Defense Sewage Pump Range, marking a new phase in their Indo-German joint venture focused on wastewater solutions for India and other developing markets. The new range is engineered to prevent blockages before they occur—one of the most persistent issues in sewage pumping systems.
As part of its global expansion roadmap, the HOMA Group has committed over USD 30 million toward capacity enhancement initiatives, with a share directed at strengthening the Indian partnership. The joint venture is structured as a dedicated platform to design, manufacture and scale sewage pumping systems tailored to Indian conditions, while meeting international engineering standards.
Kanishka Arumugam, Co-CEO of EKKI Group, stated that the venture operates as an independent entity focused solely on addressing sewage management challenges through application-specific products. By combining EKKI’s market reach and field expertise with HOMA’s global engineering capabilities, the company aims to deliver dependable, lifecycle-driven solutions at scale.
Hans Hoffmann, CEO of HOMA Pumpenfabrik GmbH, added that the collaboration goes beyond introducing existing international products into India. Instead, it centres on building a specialised product portfolio designed for the country’s environmental and operational realities, supported by strong local manufacturing and service infrastructure.
India’s wastewater sector faces mounting pressure, with a significant share of sewage discharged untreated into rivers and water bodies. Rapid urbanisation and decentralised treatment systems across residential, commercial, industrial and municipal developments have increased the demand for reliable, high-efficiency pumping systems. The market currently presents a gap between high-cost imported equipment and lower-priced options with limited durability.
The newly launched LINUS Clog-Defense range is designed to bridge that gap. Built to manage heavy solids and fibrous waste, the pumps reduce the risk of clogging, minimise breakdowns and support continuous operation in abrasive and corrosive environments. Advanced sealing systems, motor protection features and wear-resistant construction help extend service life, reduce maintenance cycles and lower total operating costs.
The product line is suited for housing complexes, institutional buildings, industrial wastewater facilities, OEM applications and municipal sewage systems. With this launch, EKKI and HOMA aim to expand India’s role as a manufacturing base for high-performance sewage pumps serving both domestic and international markets.
Founded in 1946, HOMA operates in more than 110 countries with expertise in submersible motor pumps for drainage and wastewater management. Established in 1981, EKKI Water Technologies manufactures pumping systems across multiple facilities in India and exports to over 20 countries, with interests spanning agriculture, building services, industrial and public utility sectors.
