In a bid to give a boost to dye-industries, the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar IITGN is all set to set up a Common Research and Technology Development Hub (CRTDH) on chemical processes at its campus.
“The CRTDH will help chemical industries to improvetheir existing chemical processes and waste treatment. The initiative will be helpful to dye MSMEs in and around Gujarat who do not have proper lab and technical expertise,” said Professor Chinmoy Ghoroi, Principal Investigator.
Gujarat is considered as hub for dyes and dye intermediates. Nearly, 80 percent of the total dye production capacity of Indiais in Gujarat. However, the sector is performing badly in waste generation and its treatment.
