Earlier the industry was granted consent to operate under Water Act, 1974 and Air Act, 1981, which are valid upto 30.06.2024 for the production of printed polyester knitted cloth @ 4 TPD and dyed polyester cloth @ 1.2 T/day with disposal of trade effluent @ 35 KLD (out of which 15 KLD to be reused back into process mainly in printing section and balance 20 KLD will be discharged onto land for plantation) and domestic effluent @ 0.7 KLD onto land for plantation after treatment through septic tank.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thereafter, the industry has added a boiler and was given personal hearing before the Senior Environmental Engineer, Zonal Office-2, Ludhiana on 23.12.2021, wherein it was decided as under:-</p>
