ITF welcomes thrust given to textile sector in Budget

"With the concept of these mega parks with a plug and play model, Indian textile and apparel sector, particularly SMEs, can work on scale and build competitiveness in manufacturing. Further, these parks can be aligned with ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) goals to attract international buyers as well as investors," ITF convenor Prabhu Dhamodharan said in a press release.

"The mention of 3-year time period is a welcome one to capitalise the opportunities emerging from brands' China plus one strategy. Tamil Nadu with a robust manufacturing eco-system should work towards getting 2 parks," he added.
