Largest textile park to come up in Warangal

India’s largest textile park will come up in Telangana’s Warangal town, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao announced on Wednesday.

He said the proposed ‘cotton-to-garment’ park will be set up in an area of 2,000-3,000 acres.

The Warangal district collector has already released Rs.100 crore for acquiring land for the textile cluster.

The chief minister said that while textile parks in different parts of the country like Solapur, Tirupur and Surat were engaged in manufacturing specific categories of garments, the proposed park in Warangal will cover all segments.

KCR, as the chief minister is known, said the international standard park will also have an apparel park



for readymade clothing.

He said the government would promote the park in collaboration with various companies. “Some companies have already come forward.”

He was confident that with a major railway junction in Warangal and the possibility to build an airport, the textile cluster would have tremendous potential.

He believes the park with a township will increase Warangal’s population by four to five lakh in three to four years.

With a population of 10 lakh, Warangal is the second biggest city in Telangana after Hyderabad.

KCR announced that Warangal will also be developed as an education hub. He said the foundation stone for a health university would be laid soon.
