With an aim to provide major thrust to the industry, the government has decided to propose measures being implemented by the neighbouring states like Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. These states have already implemented textile policies, for the development and welfare of handloom weavers. The government will focus of developing Warangal as a major textile hub besides developing textile parks in Karimnagar, Adilabad, Khammam and Medak where cotton is grown as a major commercial crop.

The policy will also aim at strengthening the procurement of raw cotton and extend the remunerative prices to the farmers besides creating marketing linkages for the products produced by the weavers and handloom societies. The proposed policy is expected to relieve the debt ridden weavers in the state. The government also aims to promote traditional arts and crafts and bring back artisans, who have migrated to other states.
