The Union Cabinet approved a fresh phase of the government's flagship rural drinking water program, Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0, along with other infrastructure initiatives for a combined outlay of about Rs 8.7 trillion (tn).

Under the new phase, the Jal Jeevan Mission will be extended until December 2028, with increased funding aimed at achieving wider rural coverage.

The government said the programme will now shift its focus from simply building infrastructure to ensuring reliable service delivery and long-term sustainability of rural water supply systems.

As part of the revamped framework, a national digital platform called "Sujalam Bharat" will be introduced to digitally map drinking water infrastructure across villages and strengthen monitoring of water supply services.

Each village will be assigned a unique Sujal Gaon or Service Area ID, enabling end-to-end digital tracking of the water supply chain, from the source to household taps.

The government also plans to increase community participation through initiatives such as Jal Arpan, under which water infrastructure will be formally handed over to local bodies.

With this development in focus, here are stocks to watch.
