Infant wear maker Kitex breaks ground for second factory in Telangana

Home grown global leader in infant wear, Kitex, will set up a 7 lakh garments per day integrated fibre-to-apparel cluster near Hyderabad with an investment of ₹1,200 crore.

The second project proposed by the Kerala firm in Telangana, the cluster at Seetharampur in Ranga Reddy district, for which Industries and IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao broke ground on Thursday, will be spread over 250 acres, and employ more than 11,000 people directly. Of them, 80% will be women, the Minister’s office said. The project is expected to be operational by December 2024.

Kitex’s first investment project in Telangana is taking shape at the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park in Warangal. “Construction of a similar sized integrated fibre-to-apparel manufacturing cluster is in full swing and the project is expected to commence operations by December this year,” the Minister’s office said.
