Raipur. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, the state government is moving rapidly towards developing Naya Raipur as the country's leading textile and garment manufacturing center. Chief Minister Shri Sai has said that the textile park in Naya Raipur will become a strong base for providing large-scale employment opportunities at the local level for the youth and women of the state. He said that the state government is working with full commitment to provide world-class infrastructure and all necessary facilities to the investors in the textile park.

Thanks to the sincere efforts of Chief Minister Shri Sai, the first unit is set to be established in the textile park in Naya Raipur. This unit, set up with an investment of ₹235 crore, will provide employment opportunities to over 4,600 people. On June 25th, Commerce and Industry Minister Shri Lakhan Lal Devangan and Housing and Environment Minister Shri O.P. Choudhary performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the textile park's first garment manufacturing unit. Swift Textiles Private Limited of Tamil Nadu is establishing its manufacturing unit here. The company will primarily produce knit garments and fabrics, focusing on children's wear and export to European and American markets.

To realize Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai's vision of establishing a new identity for Chhattisgarh in the textile and garment manufacturing sector, both nationally and internationally, and of creating significant local employment opportunities, a modern textile park is being developed on an 81-acre site in Nava Raipur. All necessary infrastructure for textile, garment, technical textile, and ancillary industries is being developed here. In addition to Swift Textiles Private Limited, land has also been allotted to Puneet Creations and Drishti Designs LLP. These three entities are expected to create over 11,000 jobs with an investment of approximately ₹445 crore.

The Department of Commerce and Industry is developing facilities such as tarred roads, drainage and sewerage systems, a power sub-station, water supply system, streetlights, administrative buildings, commercial complexes, effluent treatment plants (ETPs), solid waste management areas, and a common facility center for a fully equipped textile park in Nava Raipur. With good connectivity, modern infrastructure, and robust logistics facilities, the Nava Raipur textile park is attracting textile industries as an ideal investment destination.

The state government has given special priority to textiles and readymade garments as thrust sectors in Chhattisgarh's Industrial Development Policy 2024-30. To promote employment generation, a provision has been made to provide employment assistance of Rs 6,000 per month for women employees and Rs 5,000 per month for male employees for five years. Due to the impact of the new industrial policy, the state has received investment proposals worth more than Rs 8 lakh crore in the last 18 months, which is expected to create more than 1.6 lakh employment opportunities.

In addition to textiles and apparel, the state has also attracted significant investments in data centers, IT, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and electrical and electronics manufacturing. This reflects growing investor confidence in Chhattisgarh's industrial ecosystem and business-friendly environment.

"The textile park in Nava Raipur will be a powerful tool for providing large-scale local employment opportunities to Chhattisgarh's youth, especially women. Our government is working rapidly to provide world-class infrastructure and all necessary facilities to investors here. With the expansion of industries, employment, economic activity, and the state's industrial development will gain new momentum. We are working with the goal of making Chhattisgarh the country's leading textile and garment manufacturing hub. – Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai"
