Textile Park With ZLD Facility To Be Set Up Near Ahmedabad
A new Textile Park being set up near Ahmedabad is expected to address pollution challenges faced by the fabric processing industry in Ahmedabad.
The Rupam Eco Green Textile Park will be spread across 100 acres of land at Mahijadi village near Ahmedabad.
The company had signed a MoU to invest Rs 500 crore for the Textile Park project in the recently held Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit-2024.
One of the key features of this Textile Park will be a 6 MLD Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system, which is an advanced wastewater treatment process that eliminates liquid waste and prevents water pollution.
“ZLD system ensures 96 percent water recovery which will help address pollution problems, while the recycled water will total 17 crore litres per month,” Nandan Shah, Chairman of the Park told ToI.
“Our project aligns with sustainability goals achieving zero-waste, low groundwater usage and net-zero outcomes and the basic infrastructure will be developed within a year,” Shah added.
The Textile Park is expected to attract around 50 textile processing units, which will create numerous job opportunities.
Ahmedabad is considered as one of the biggest Indian cotton textile processing hubs with more than 800 units having an installed annual fabric processing capacity of more than 3,500 million metres
