Civic body comes to the rescue of Surat textile sector

The civic body of India's biggest manmade fibre fabric hub, Surat is expanding its existing tertiary treatment plant (TTP) by increasing the capacity of the plant to 80 million litres per day (MLD) at a cost of Rs 100 crore. The new TTP will supply an additional 40 MLD recycled water to textile dyeing and printing mills in the Pandesara GIDC area of Surat.

According to a Times of India report, Pandesara GIDC has the highest presence of textile dyeing and printing mills, which number to around 100 and need fresh water round the clock.

Since the existing TTP is not able to supply the required amount of water to these units, the civic body on a request from these companies, is upgrading the TTP to meet the water requirement. (AR)
