While trial runs have begun on two units, the remaining eight are yet to become operational.
Once commissioned, the plant is expected to address the long-standing problem of wastewater treatment faced by plating industries in Ambad MIDC. The facility will enable the collective treatment of industrial effluents, providing relief to industrialists while helping protect the environment and public health.
MIDC Executive Engineer Kalpesh Lahiwal, Deputy Engineer Bhusare, contractor Kulkarni and Plating Association office-bearers Vinayak Gokhale, Sameer Patwa and Sudarshan Dongre were present during the inspection. AIMA President Rajendra Pansare and General Secretary Sanjay Mahajan also inspected the facility and reviewed its functioning.
Pansare stressed the need to complete the remaining work without delay.
"The CETP must be made operational at the earliest for the plating industries in Ambad MIDC. Proper treatment of chemically contaminated wastewater will provide substantial relief to industrialists and help protect the environment. Achieving industrial development alongside environmental conservation is the need of the hour. The authorities concerned should therefore prioritise the rectification of the shortcomings and ensure that the plant becomes operational at its full capacity. AIMA will continue to follow up on the progress of this important project," he said.
