The Andhra Pradesh government will soon introduce an enhanced textile policy, according to Minister Savitha
Andhra Pradesh’s Minister for Backward Classes Welfare and Handlooms & Textiles, S. Savitha, announced that the state government will soon introduce a new textile policy aimed at promoting the textiles, apparel, and garment industries. Speaking to investors via videoconference from the Secretariat on Monday, Ms. Savitha emphasized the government’s commitment to creating essential infrastructure, providing incentives, and streamlining various clearances for industries in a timely manner.
She noted that the previous ‘Textile Policy 2018-23’, introduced by the TDP government, was discarded by the YSR Congress Party government, leading to challenges for existing industries and prompting potential investors to explore opportunities in other states. The upcoming policy, according to Ms. Savitha, will be an enhanced version of the 2018-23 policy, tailored to meet current industry needs.
Highlighting Andhra Pradesh’s strong position in the textile sector, Ms. Savitha pointed out that the state ranks second in silk production nationally and holds sixth and seventh positions in cotton and jute production, respectively. The state also boasts nine textile and apparel parks, including three in the public sector, along with 146 mega textile industries and 15 technical textile units. She encouraged investors to consider manufacturing agro, geo, and automotive textiles in the state.
Ms. Savitha assured investors of the government’s full support for companies setting up operations in Andhra Pradesh, highlighting the state’s favorable conditions for business. Principal Secretary (Handlooms & Textiles) K. Sunitha, Joint Director Srikanth Prabhakar, and other officials were also present at the meeting.
