TN govt planning to set up 100 mini textile parks in state Chennai, Nov 12 (KNN)
The Tamil Nadu government is planning to setup around
100 mini textile parks in the state, said Minister for Handlooms and Textiles R. Gandhi on Friday.
Addressing the media, Gandhi said that the previous government launched the mini textile park scheme in 2016. But, there were no takers as the government subsidy of Rs 2.5 crore was given only for development of common infrastructure at the parks.
The current government had modified this condition and said the subsidy could be used for any purpose - plant and machinery.
“The state government has so far received over 65 applications, including 43 from Karur district,” he said.
As per reports, technical textile units could also come up in the parks.
Textile Commissioner for Tamil Nadu M. Vallalar held a meeting on Friday evening with District Collector G.S. Sameeran and textile industry members to create awareness about the mini park scheme.
The Minister added that Tamil Nadu would host a two-day technical textiles conference in Chennai on November 25 and 26. Delegations and speakers were coming from countries such as Japan, Taiwan, France, Germany, and Korea. At present, Maharashtra and Surat were leading in technical textile production.
The Tamil Nadu government would give incentives to companies that would invest in the State in technical textiles, including textiles used in the mobility sector and sports.
It would also promote research and development in technical textiles.
