A mega textile park will be coming up in Warangal City soon with an estimated outlay of ₹1,150 crore and it is expected to provide direct employment to 13,000 people, Deputy Chief Minister Kadiam Srihari said.
The textile park would attract investments of over ₹ 11,000 crore and it would have ginning, spinning, weaving, dyeing and other units all at one place.
Once completed the industrial cluster would bring back the weavers and textile workers who migrated to distant places like Sholapur, Gujarat, Bhiwandi and others, the Deputy Chief Minister said.
