To revive Tirupur dyeing industry Central govt sanctions Rs.200 cr

The government after taking into cognizance of the problem faced by the dyeing industry in Tirupur and on recommendation of the Ministry of Textiles, Ministry of Finance sanctioned funds to the state government of Tamil Nadu for the 18 Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETPs) as an interest free loan which later will be converted into grant based on the performance of the CETPs.
