Indian plumbing association
The Stalwarts Came Together in 1993
The 1990s witnessed a period of rapid development in the building industry, with large projects emerging across the country. Leading business personalities and professionals involved in building construction such as architects, engineers, real estate developers, project managers, and manufacturers recognized the need to establish a national plumbing association. This association would facilitate the free flow of knowledge on plumbing design, products, international technologies, and installations.
In 1993, a group of visionary leaders, led by Shri S. G. Deolalikar, formed a dedicated team of founders with the objective of creating a pan-India association. Their efforts resulted in the formal registration of the Indian Plumbing Association (IPA) as an NGO.
At that time, there was a significant void in the industry that needed to be filled. Every individual enthusiastically joined the IPA and volunteered to work towards achieving the Association’s aims and objectives.
As of June, 2025, the IPA has 28 Chapters established across the country, each with a duly elected Executive Committee to serve the community. All IPA volunteers remain committed to the vision of making India a country with Better Plumbing for Better Living.
