Talking to FE Aslam Karmali, CEO consumer division, Eureka Forbes Ltd who was in the city on Wednesday said, “Our research which represented 55 million households has shown that only 7% of them used electric water-purifiers and 12% of the population boils the water for 20 minutes. This clearly shows that 81% of the population is still drinking the impure water. We aim to capture the masses with the new brand. AquaSure is the new way to boil water, using advance technologies like power boil and sure boil. Power boil technology is used in the UV and RO categories where as sure boil is the third generation-based technology, used in the non-electric water purifiers. The product range will be available in Rs 1,800 to Rs 15,000.”
