If media reports are to be believed, an integrated textile city near Ahmedabad may take shape in next few years.
It has been reported that Narol Textile Infrastructure and Enviro Management (NTIEM) has decided to set up the textile city as part of expansion plans for the Narol textile cluster.
An MoU can be signed in this regard in the next 2 months.
With the cost of around Rs. 25,000 crore, around 130 processing companies will form the textile city which will be spread over 2,000 acres.
The city will have housing for all levels of employees from workers to management level personnel and have facilities like schools and hospitals. The project is expected to create around 5 lakh jobs.
NTIEM is a representative body formed as a Section 8 company for 138 member companies in and around Ahmedabad’s Piplaj, Narol and Pirana areas. It has common effluent treatment plants (CETP), with the capacity to treat 100 million litres per day (MLD) from member industries.
If all goes well, the plan is to start operations at the city by 2027.
