Mauritius Cabinet Approves Free Water Tank Scheme for Households
What happened
The Cabinet decided to provide every household in Mauritius and Rodrigues with two free water tanks and a domestic water pump. The scheme requires households not to already own water tanks and involves a Rs 15,000 voucher from the Development Bank of Mauritius. However, Eco Tank, a division of Standard Water Tank Ltd, noted that the voucher may not cover the full cost of the equipment and installation.

Why it matters
The government initiative is expected to drive demand for water tanks and pumps in the domestic market of Mauritius. Suppliers have expressed concern that the voucher amount may not cover the total cost, which could affect their profitability and the quality of the equipment they provide.
