Hyderabad: A world-class garment manufacturing unit with an investment of Rs 102 crore will be inaugurated on Friday at Peddur Apparel Park in Sircilla.
The facility will be formally launched by Tummala Nageswara Rao, Minister for Agriculture, Handlooms and Textiles, and D Sridhar Babu, Minister for IT and Industries.
Ahead of the event, the ministers conducted a review meeting at the Secretariat on Thursday, along with principal secretary Shailaja Ramaiyer and senior officials from the departments concerned, to oversee final preparations for the inauguration.
Empowering communities
This initiative is aimed at empowering economically disadvantaged women, including beedi workers and those from the Padmashali community, by providing them with skill training in garment stitching and sustainable livelihood opportunities.
The Telangana Government has extended comprehensive infrastructure supportāincluding industrial sheds and uninterrupted power supplyāfor the project. Bengaluru-based Texport Industries has invested Rs 40 crore in state-of-the-art machinery and set up the production unit.
Products supply to brands
The unit will exclusively cater to international markets, with 100 per cent of its production being exported. It is projected to manufacture 70 lakh garments annually, generating Rs 300 crore in exports. The products will be supplied to globally renowned fashion brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Robert Graham, Vans and Michael Kors.
Currently equipped with 1,000 sewing machines, the unit will operate in two shifts, providing direct employment to 1,600 women. Over the next three years, the facility is expected to create an additional 2,000 jobs.
As part of the inaugural ceremony, Ministers Tummala and Sridhar Babu will distribute appointment letters to the newly employed women, marking a key milestone in inclusive industrial development.
The Telangana General Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC) has constructed a built-to-suit facility for the unit, spread over 1.73 lakh square feet, at an estimated cost of Rs 62 crore.
