The 1,300-acre Kakatiya Mega Textile Park (KMTP), one of the biggest textile parks in India, at Geesugonda in Warangal district will employ a little over 20,000 people, mostly women, in the next one-and-a-half years. This will give a major fillip to the industry and transform Warangal into a major textile manufacturing hub in the country, said IT and Industries Minister K.T. Rama Rao.
He was speaking after inaugurating the Ganesh Ecosphere company’s factory, the first unit at the KMTP, in Warangal district on Saturday. Mr. Rama Rao also laid the foundation stone for the Kitex Group, the world’s second largest manufacturer of kids’ apparel, unit at the KMTP.
The upcoming unit to be set up with an investment of ₹1,600 crore will provide employment to around 15,000 people, the Minister said, adding that Youngone, a textile company, had submitted its final design and is expected to commence work on its factory at KMTP in the next one or two months.
