What it means in practice
A textile weaving unit (NIC 13) operating in Tamil Nadu typically triggers Noise Pollution Rules — Industrial Premises because of the unit's CPCB category (Red/Orange/Green/White) and the use of power, water and chemicals.
The day-to-day administering authority will be the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board.
Industrial premises must comply with ambient noise standards of 75 dB(A) (day) and 70 dB(A) (night). Powerloom shed noise routinely measures 90–100 dB(A) inside the shed — workers must have hearing PPE and the shed should be sited away from residential zones.
