The first comprehensive textile industrial park in India will be completed in the Howrah area in a few months. It costs about 1 billion 100 million rupees, and it can accommodate about 150 enterprises.

The textile park will produce yarn and garments after its formal operation. The government of India has planned nearly 100 acres of land for the project.

The India Textile Trade Industry Association (ChamberofTextileTradeandIndustry) has been negotiating with the government of India to provide subsidies for the Maharashtra state and AndhraPradesh state for at least five years, and proposes a request to permit the use of contract workers in the park.

The textile park is expected to create 10000 direct job opportunities.

Due to insufficient investment, poor infrastructure, backward technology and low productivity, the development of India's local textile industry is hindered.

In the past thirty years, India textile industry, which was once prosperous, grew slowly and its productivity declined. In Howrah, there are only 21 textile enterprises in operation. In 1980s, there were 42 textile enterprises.

In addition, about 10-15% of textile enterprises are under construction.

These enterprises must increase production by two times to meet demand and cope with export markets.
