Karur’s textile manufacturers and exporters have urged the Ministry of Textiles (MoT) to set up a textile wet processing park in Karur.
The Karur Textile Manufacturer Expansion Association had an interactive session with Rohit Kansal, Additional Secretary, Textiles and Prajakta L. Verma, Joint Secretary, Textiles where this demand was raised.
Association’s representatives underlined that the Karur cluster had been showing tremendous growth over the years. Taking into account the various aspects and challenges of exporters in Karur, the Ministry should meet all the demands of the association so as to achieve Rs. 25,000 cr sales turnover by 2030.
The industry representatives submitted a memorandum that there was a need to establish a Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP).
It was highlighted that the park should be set up in the same premises so that many micro and small industries could come forward to set up their factories in the park. It would help to bring down the cost of wet process for the exporters, manufacturers and also become competitive in the world market.
The industry urged that MoT should come forward to establish an Integrated Textile Trade Facilitation Centre to market the products of Karur.
