Within this larger framework, the specific sub-scheme, "Subsidy for Water Conservation/ Environment Compliance," focuses on critical environmental aspects. This incentive specifically targets eligible micro and small enterprises operating in the powerloom sector. Through this program, these enterprises can claim reimbursement for expenditures incurred on captive sound pollution control devices that are part of an approved project. The initiative underscores the state government's commitment to not only modernizing industrial infrastructure but also ensuring environmental sustainability and compliance within one of its key manufacturing sectors.
