A new textile industry park is set to be established near Ahmedabad, which is anticipated to address the pollution challenges faced by the existing textile industry in Ahmedabad. Being developed by Rupam Eco Green Textile Park, the facility will span across 100 acres of land at Mahijadi village near Ahmedabad. The company had signed an MoU to invest Rs 500 cr for the textile park project in the recently held Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit-2024. This park will have the necessary infrastructure to support the textile industry. 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.
Nandan Shah, Chairman, Rupam Eco Green Textile Park said, “ZLD system ensures 96% water recovery which will help us address the pollution problems. Waste water reuse will save 17 crore litre water per month which is equivalent to the water requirement of around 30,000 people. Our project aligns with sustainability goals achieving zero-waste, low groundwater usage and netzero outcomes. An additional 6 MLD ZLD system is also planned to be developed, ensuring that the park adheres to the highest environmental standards and contributes to sustainable industrial practices.”
He added that the basic infrastructure will be developed within a year. The new textile park is expected to attract around 50 textile processing units, which will create numerous job opportunities. The arrival of these units is particularly significant considering the recent challenges faced by the Ahmedabad-based textile industry. Due to stringent pollution control measures, some textile units in Ahmedabad have been shut down for around two years. Ahmedabad is considered as one of the biggest cotton textile processing hubs with more than 800 units having an installed capacity of more than 3,500 million meters of fabric annually.
