Clothing like sportswear and innerwear will be produced in this unit. The company plans to expand this project further. This can boost textile manufacturing activities in the region and create opportunities for local suppliers and other business units.
Expected to provide employment to more than one thousand people
Once the new unit becomes operational, more than one thousand people are expected to get direct employment. At present, about 300 women are being trained in the company. This can also increase employment and skill development opportunities for women at the local level.
