Coimbatore,
Tamil Nadu
The Indian Texpreneurs Federation (ITF) has appealed the
small and medium apparel and home textiles sector to expand by setting up plug
and play garment stitching facilities in small towns.
Giving a five-point suggestion for growth of the textile
sector in the state, ITF convenor Prabhu Damodharan and board member Saravanan,
who met the ministers, said the state could work out a roadmap to capitalize on
the opportunity emerging with MITRA park scheme by creating an integrated plug
and play apparel park to build scale, competitiveness and enable the medium
sized companies to expand.
ITF said in a
memorandum to textiles minister R Gandhi and industries minister Thangam
Thennarasu, that they can pick 10 to 15 small towns with good workforce
availability and create small plug and play infra for stitching facilities.
This will spread the sector in various parts of the state, avoid overcrowding
in a few clusters and create new employment.
Underlining the need to devise a special theme to brand
the textile
and apparel sector in the state, ITF said that such a branding would also help the sector capture
the market share in value-added products.
