India, March 17 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
The Government has undertaken a series of initiatives aimed to promote the manufacturing, consumption and exports of green textiles in India. The details are as below:
The Government is implementing Integrated Processing Development Scheme (IPDS) since 12th FYP to support new Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETP)/ upgradation of existing CETPs. 6 projects approved under the Scheme are implementing Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) technology. The scheme is currently ongoing for meeting committed liabilities only.
PM MITRA Parks are envisaged to promote environmentally sustainable textile manufacturing through development of integrated and sustainable large-scale infrastructure, including Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs), wastewater recycling systems and scientific waste management facilities, along with shared utilities including water, power and logistics infrastructure to enhance resource efficiency and minimize environmental impact.
Also, several R&D initiatives under NTTM have been undertaken for waste-to-fibre technologies, including conversion of textile waste, biomass, and bio-residues into advanced green materials such as carbon fibres and functional textiles.
The Government has introduced the MSE-GIFT and MSE-SPICE Schemes under the RAMP Programme that provide incentives including interest subvention and/or capital subsidy to promote sustainable practices among Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs).
