In a meeting with Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, Minister of Karnataka Textiles and Sugarcane Development Shivanand S Patil requested him to establish a Prime Minister-Mitra Mega Textile Park in Vijayapura.
The state’s textile minister also asked the union minister to establish a centre of excellence at Vijayapura to conduct textile research and development projects.
The Union Textile Ministry has already approved setting up PM-Mega Textile Park at Kalaburgi. In the project, which will come up with public private partnership, around 14 investors are expected to invest.
As per reports, during a meeting with the union minister, Patil appealed to the centre to complete the process, so that the investors can come and invest in the mega textile park at the earliest.
Seeking additional schemes and funds for Karnataka for promoting textile industry, Patil said the state is a multi-product export hub from fabrics to apparel of all sorts.
