Demand for establishment of textile plant in Balangir

Kantabanji Rajya Sabha MP Niranjan Bishi has urged Union Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh to make a special plan to set up a fully integrated textile plant in Patna Garh sub-division of Balangir district.

In the letter dated July 25, 2025, the MP has mentioned that there is extensive production of high quality cotton in Balangir district. In such a situation, by setting up a plant covering the entire value chain from fiber to yarn, yarn to textile and clothing to apparel, Odisha can become a major center of cotton-based industry. He said that this project will generate employment on a large scale, prevent inter-state migration and improve the socio-economic condition of Western Odisha.

Value addition at each stage of production will increase the value of raw materials and provide employment opportunities to local people. The MP also said that the integrated plant will strengthen quality control and make it possible to produce high quality textiles that can compete in domestic and foreign markets, thereby strengthening Odisha's identity as a reliable textile producing state. Emphasizing on the export potential, he said that availability of the entire value chain in the state will attract foreign investors and buyers, which will increase foreign exchange earnings and strengthen India's position as a global textile exporter.
