The apparel export value from Gautam Budh Nagar district now is around ₹18,000 crore. After the park is set up, exports from the district are expected to increase to about ₹30,000 crore, said Lalit Thukral, president, Noida Apparel Export Cluster (NAEC).
He, however, said that the authority needs to give possession to the units at the earliest after completing civil infrastructure in the area, like wide roads, sewerage and electrical connections.
The NAEC plans to employ local workforce for the industries and it will also be holding training sessions in neighbouring villages.
