KCR Lays Stone For Textile Park In Warangal

Laying the foundation for the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park in Warangal Rural area, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao said it would become the biggest industrial zone in the country, manufacturing all sorts of clothes and apparel.

The new textile park would surpass the noted Azam Jahi Mills in production and providing employment to workers, he claimed.

The Chief Minister also laid the foundation for an IT Incubation Centre at Madikonda, a Road Over Bridge at Kazipet, and an Outer Ring Road on the occasion.

"Deputy Chief Minister Kadiam Srihari led a team to Surat in Gujarat, Tirupur in Tamil Nadu, Sholapur in Maharashtra and other places to study the various varieties of apparel, and all of those will be produced in Warangal now. Thread, clothes and readymade apparel will all be manufactured, to cater to the needs of both our country and others," he said.

Reading out the names of 22 companies which had come forward to set up businesses at the Mega Textile Park, KCR said that they had committed Rs 3,900 crores in investments. He said that the park would create 27,000 jobs directly and provide employment to another 50,000 people indirectly.
