The Gujarat High Court has slammed the textile industry for polluting the Sabarmati River
15 February 2022, Mumbai:
The importance of effluent control in textile enterprises that discharge wastewater into the Sabarmati River has been emphasised by the Gujarat High Court.
The court emphasised that the textile industry's principal source of pollution is the massive volume of wastewater released with a high chemical load.
The Court, led by Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Vaibhavi Nanavati, made this statement while denying relief to the textile firms, which had asked the Court to allow them to rejoin sewage lines so that they might discharge industrial effluent into them.
The Court, in its concluding conclusions, slammed Ashima Ltd. and other firms for claiming that Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) technology was not commercially feasible.

The Bench praised another industry that had adopted this technology, while also directing the industries to work with the Corporation, the State Government, and the Pollution Control Board to develop a viable industrial effluent pipeline that could transport the effluent directly to the Central Effluent Treatment Plants (CETP).
As a result, the applications were rejected by the Court. The Gujarat High Court has taken suo moto notice of severe pollution in the Sabarmati River as a result of a sewage treatment plant (STP) disregarding treatment standards and dumping untreated water into the river.
