“An application along with a detailed project report (DPR) has already been sent to the Central government with a sanction letter from the state government,” said B K Nangalia, a member of Chamber Of Textile Trade and Industry (COTTI).

The developers are trying to come up with the project under the Scheme for Integrated

Textile Park (SITP) of the Union Ministry of Textiles. “The Central government will only accept the proposal when the total land needed for the project has been acquired,” said COTTI Joint Secretary Sanjay Kumar Todi.

About 150 units are proposed to come up in the park, generating employment for about 10,000 people. “The park will manufacture all kinds of products from hosiery to readymade garments,” Todi added.
