The Tamil Nadu government hopes to receive over 50 applications for the mini textile park scheme in a week. It has already received 44 applications so far and another 10 are expected within a week.
MVallalar, Textile Commissioner, Tamil Nadu, the government has received applications from the small and medium-scale units. It is planning to develop units for technical textiles including medical, industrial and Defence textiles. A large number of applications have been received from Karur district, he adds.
The mini textile park scheme was modified by the government to provide subsidy for industrial sheds too and thus support more small and medium-scale industries, said official sources.
The District Collectors are also urging textile industries to benefit from the scheme. In Coimbatore district, the Collector said those interested can contact 0421-2220095 for details.
Welcoming the scheme, Ravi Sam, Chairman, Southern India Mills’ Association, says, the scheme would benefit the weaving and processing units in the State.
