The Rajasthan Government has urged the Union Textile Ministry to approve the proposal of Textile Park at Kankani in Jodhpur under Prime Minister Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) scheme.
With textile and apparel manufacturing hubs like Bhilwara and Jaipur, Rajasthan has strengths of traditional printing techniques as well as many state-of-the-art textile and apparel units.
Ashok Gehlot, the State Chief Minister,has written a letter to Union Minister and said that Jodhpur already has good facilities to project the products of Rajasthan in the international market.
The Marwar Industrial Cluster, which connects to the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) of the Government of India, located in Rohat, is just 7km from the proposed PM MITRA Park. Multi-modal logistic park is also proposed in this cluster.
He reminded that as the Amritsar-Jamnagar highway passes through Jodhpur, movement of goods from Kandla and Mundra port will also be possible.
The state also has prestigious institutes related to textile technology like NIFT, FDDI and IIT where professionals are getting ready for the textile industry.
The CM further mentioned that about 1,000 acres of land has been proposed for PM MITRA Park in Kankani and the works of developing electricity, water, roads and other infrastructure facilities have already begun.
