Dyeing Units Excluded from Integrated Textile Park Project in Tamil Nadu
The Tamil Nadu government has confirmed that dyeing units will not be included in the Integrated Textile Park, responding to public protests. The project at Jahir Ammapalayam, with an investment of ₹880 crore, will focus solely on textile-related industries.

The Tamil Nadu government has restructured the Salem Yarn Colouring Park (SYCP) into Salem Integrated Textile Park Private Limited, halting plans for dyeing units due to community protests over groundwater and agricultural impact. This decision follows a government order issued on July 22, affirming that the park will exclusively host textile-related industries on a 99-year lease for 119 acres.
Additionally, the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (SIPCOT) is tasked with finding alternative sites for zero liquid discharge dyeing units. This shift may mitigate environmental concerns but could delay industrial development in the region.
