Integrated Textile Park Scheme of the Union Ministry of Textiles

The Union Government of India had approved the proposal for setting up nearly 25 textile parks across India. These parks are anticipated to boost the Indian textile industry strengthening its position in the international market.

Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, jointly with Madurai Textile Exporters Association, was considering setting up an Integrated Textile Park near Madurai in about 150 acres of land for promoting manufacture and export of textiles and apparel with all the required infrastructure for textiles related industries such as weaving, garments manufacturing, dyeing and bleaching, under the integrated Textile Park Scheme of the Union Ministry of Textiles. The Madurai Integrated Textile Park is expected to start functioning by the end of 2008. According to industrial sources, this textile park has consumed a huge investment of around Rs 300 crores, which is expected to go upto Rs 500 crores, for both its construction as well as other infrastructural facilities.
