Raipur (thestates.news) | Chhattisgarh is seeking to write a new industrial story beyond mining and traditional manufacturing. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, the state is pursuing an ambitious strategy to diversify its industrial base by promoting textile and garment manufacturing. With a world-class Textile Park taking shape in Nava Raipur and the first garment manufacturing unit now under development, the initiative aims to attract investment, expand exports and create large-scale employment within the state.
A major milestone has already been achieved as Tamil Nadu-based Swift Textiles Private Limited has begun work on the Textile Park’s first garment manufacturing unit following a Bhoomipoojan ceremony held on June 25 by Commerce and Industries Minister Shri Lakhan Lal Dewangan and Housing and Environment Minister Shri OP Choudhary.
The company will invest ₹ 235 crore in the facility, which is expected to generate employment for more than 4,600 people. It will manufacture kidswear and knit garments, with the latter focused on exports to the European and American markets.
Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai has consistently emphasized that industrial growth must translate into employment opportunities for local people, particularly women and youth. The Textile Park reflects this vision by creating an ecosystem where manufacturing investments are supported with modern infrastructure and policy incentives. The state government is working to provide investors with all essential facilities required to establish and expand their operations.
