Leading textile and apparel producing state Tamil Nadu is quite hopeful to get a mega textile park under MITRA scheme.
Thangam Thennarasu, Minister for Industries, Tamil Nadu said that the State Government was taking all efforts to bring a mega textile park sponsored by the Union Government to Virudhunagar district.
He was speaking at the special loan campaign organised by the Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corporation (TIIC).
The Minister said, “The Centre has announced setting up seven textile parks in the country. Given that textile industry is the core strength of Tamil Nadu, we have proposed to set up the textile parks at Virudhunagar, Sivaganga and Dharmapuri districts.”
Many states are in the race to get at least one park under this massive scheme and various trade bodies have made strong representation in this regard to their State and Union Government.
It is worth mentioning here that the State Government has already announced setting up of an apparel park at the SIPCOT industrial estate in Pattampudur in the district.
In last few months, Tamil Nadu has come up with industry-friendly policies especially for the textile and apparel industry. Many companies have announced a huge investment in the state.
