To promote the state as textile hub textile parks will be set up in each district where cotton is grown as a major commercial crop. Some of these districts are: Karimnagar, Adilabad, Khammam and Medak. Warangal is envisaged as a major textile hub.
The policy will also aim at strengthen procurement of raw cotton and extend remunerative prices to farmers besides creating marketing linkages for products produced by the weaver and handloom societies.
The new policy will be operational for a period of five years from the date of its announcement. Incentives will be provided to investors who come forward to set up garment cotton based ancillary industries. Neighboring states like Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have already implemented textile policies for the development and welfare of handloom weavers. All these measures are expected to be incorporated in the new policy thus benefiting cotton farmers in Telangana.
Although Telangana produces long staple cotton, there is no proper value addition and raw cotton is exported and the policy will try to address these things in detail. Besides the government is planning to promote and bring back artisans, who have migrated to other states.
