Electrical equipment and Water and sanitation

Water and sanitation buys from Electrical equipment; water and sanitation depends on electrical equipment.

Electrical equipment (industry) and Water and sanitation (industry): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Buys from

Physical flow · ₹0.7 per ₹100 · Water and sanitation buys from Electrical equipment

Water and sanitation buys goods or services from Electrical equipment; counted through every round of supply, ₹0.7 of each ₹100 of its output goes to them (OECD input-output tables, India 2022).

  • ₹0.7 of every ₹100 of Water and sanitation output, all rounds
  • ₹0.3 bought directly

2. Industry input
