Kakatiya Mega Textile Park

Telangana is the third largest producer of long staple cotton with production of around 50 Lakh bales per annum. However, most of the cotton is exported adding little value – addition in the chain of textile process in the State. There are 33 spinning mills with a capacity of 10 Lakh spindles, which consumes only about 20% of the cotton grown in the State while the rest 80% goes to other states for spinning. Capacity utilization of weaving industry in the State is negligible and there is not much processing capacity available in the State. There is no further downstream facility like processing and garmenting. The State is also known for skilled textile workers but due to absence of industry, they migrated to other states for their livelihood.
