Kitex Garments, which recently set the foundation stone for its facility in Kakatiya Textile Park, is now looking to increase its investments in the state even further, as well as find a third location for its facility in Rangareddy, in addition to Warangal and Sitarampur.
Kitex, a Kochi-based infantwear producer and the world’s second biggest manufacturer of children’s clothing, has already committed to investing Rs 2,400 crore in Telangana over the next three years to establish two integrated fibre-to-apparel manufacturing clusters.
It had planned to invest Rs 1,000 crore but raised its commitment after observing the Telangana government’s response. It claims that this will result in the employment of 22,000 people in two sites.
About 85 per cent of the workforce will be women. Kitex has set a target to ship three million pieces made in Telangana to the export markets.
