The government for the development of the powerloom sector has formulated a Solar Energy scheme under which it will provide incentives and concessions to loom weavers to utilize solar energy to increase production, said Minister of State for Textiles Ajay Tamta.
Under the scheme, the government will provide financial assistance and capital subsidy to the extent of 50 percent, 75 percent and 90 percent of the basic cost of the solar energy plant to applicants.
The government has also conducted a study on the Scheme for Integrated Textiles Parks.
