The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Dr J Jayalalithaa’s announcement of interest free loan of Rs 200 cr to revive the Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) in Tirupur has given hope to the knitwear cluster here.
Tirupur Exporters’ Association President Mr A Sakthivel, while appreciating the State’s Chief Minister’s gesture, hailed the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) for permitting to reopen the CETPs at Angeripalayam and Veerapandi, which would enable 142 dyeing units resume operations and achieve zero liquid discharge.
The TNPCB has also given permission to five more IETPs to reopen the units, Mr Sakthivel said in a release, adding that this would help the knitwear industry bounce back and concentrate on the growth of the knitwear sector.
