West Bengal Textile Incentive Scheme: Subsidy for Water conservation/ Environment Compliance

Subsidy for Water Conservation / Environment Compliance

This sub-scheme operates under the West Bengal Textile Incentive Scheme, introduced on December 13, 2022, by the Department of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Textiles, Government of West Bengal. The parent scheme aims to drive rapid, targeted growth across the state's textile value chain—from fibre to finished garments—while improving resource efficiency, generating fresh employment, and positioning West Bengal as a preferred investment hub for textiles.

The sub-scheme specifically supports environmental sustainability within that expansion. It provides financial incentives to textile manufacturing and processing units that adopt water conservation measures and pollution control systems. By doing so, the state intends to reduce the ecological footprint of industrial operations while enhancing the modernisation and competitiveness of its textile businesses.

The initiative reflects the government's effort to reconcile industrial advancement with environmental stewardship, securing a viable long-term future for both the sector and the region.
