Water quality standards especially those for drinking water are set by
The Indian Council of Medical Research
Drinking water standards specify the safe limits of physical, chemical and biological parameters in water meant for human consumption, so they are fundamentally a public-health matter.
In India the drinking water quality standards were set by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the apex body for biomedical and health research, through its Manual of Standards of Quality for Drinking Water Supplies (1962, revised 1975). These ICMR standards prescribe acceptable and maximum permissible limits for parameters such as TDS, hardness, fluoride, nitrate, heavy metals and coliform bacteria, and they formed the health basis for later national drinking water specifications.
ICAR deals with agricultural research and irrigation water; MoEFCC and CPCB frame ambient water-quality criteria and effluent discharge standards for pollution control rather than health-based drinking water standards.
Hence, the answer is The Indian Council of Medical Research.
