Ahmedabad’sNarol textile cluster, known as the country’s largest textile processing hub, is set to upgrade its Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP).
The current capacity of the CETP, which stands at 100MLD (million litres per day), will be boosted to 130MLD. This expansion project, estimated to cost around Rs 75-80 crore, will be collectively funded by approximately 120 member units of the Narol Textile Infrastructure and Enviro Management (NTIEM).
The NTIEM oversees the operations of the Narol CETP, which commenced its activities in 2017. While the individual units within the cluster possess a consolidate, Consent and authorization (CCA) for a total of 23MLD, the CETP holds a CCA for 100MLD. Furthermore, the CETP has received Consent to Establish (CTE) for a capacity of 130MLD, paving the way for the planned upgrade.
Narol houses approximately 120 companies with a combined processing capacity of around 2.50 crore metres per day. However, the Industry faces challenges due to weak demand and fluctuating cotton prices.
