(a) & (b): The Government is implementing the Integrated Processing Development Scheme  (IPDS)  for  enabling  the  textile  processing  sector  to  meet  environmental standards  through  adoption  of  appropriate  technology,  specifically  in  the  area  of water and waste water management.  Government of India grant is provided within the  overall  ceiling  of  50%  of  the  project  cost  not  exceeding  Rs.75  crore  for  Zero Liquid  Discharge  (ZLD)  and  Marine  discharge  and  Rs.  10  crore  for  riverine  and conventional  treatment  as  the  case  may  be,  for  Water  treatment  &  effluent treatment plant and technology (including marine, Riverine and ZLD system); and common infrastructure such as captive power generation plants including renewable  and  green  energy.  Proposals  of  CETP  are  also  considered  in  Scheme  for Integrated  Textile  Park  (SITP)  under  'Common  Infrastructure'  being  implemented  by  this Ministry.

(c) & (d): Integrated  Processing  Development  Scheme  (IPDS)  does  not  specifically provide  for  the  laying  of  underground  pipelines  for  the  transportation  of  effluents from Textile Parks to the CETP, however, the same can be availed as a component under common infrastructure under the Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP). Government has sanctioned 7 Projects under the Integrated Processing Development Scheme (IPDS) for setting up/ upgrading Common Effluent Treatment plants (CETPs)
