Kindly peruse the note of EE, ZO. On perusal of the facts mentioned therein, it is submitted that the industry is a dyeing unit and has installed ETP of 600 KLD capacity for treatment of wastewater generated from dyeing operations. As per assessment, the effluent generation from the installed dyeing machinery works out to 562 KLD. The treated effluent is utilized onto land for plantation developed as per Karnal technology. The industry has developed total plantation area of 7.8 acres, which appears adequate. No stagnation was observed during visit dated 12.05.2026.
The wastewater sampling was carried out during visit dated 02.04.2026 and, as per analysis report, the industry is conforming to the prescribed standards. The industry has also proposed, vide email dated 22.04.2026, to install UF system of 720 KLD capacity with the existing ETP by mid-June, 2026 and to reuse the treated effluent in processes such as washing, wherever technically feasible.
The industry has installed boiler of 6 TPH capacity and is using steam coal as fuel. The boiler furnace is provided with cyclone followed by double-stage wet scrubber as APCD along with stack of adequate height. Air emission sample was collected during the visit and, as per analysis report, the concentration of PM was found to be 139 mg/Nm³, which is within the prescribed limits and in compliance with MoEF&CC Notification No. GSR 373(E) dated 16.05.2023. The industry has also installed DG set of 1000 KVA capacity with acoustic canopy and adequate stack height.
