Textile major Arvind Limited will establish an integrated textile and apparel facility in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh at an initial cost of Rs 250-300 crore. The textile park would be set up in multiple phases over 100-125 acres of land. The completion of the first phase would create around 15,000 new jobs in the economically backward district.

“Textiles is a priority sector for Andhra Pradesh as the state aims to increase productivity and efficiency by attracting integrated textile units,” said J Krishna Kishore, CEO of Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board (APEDB) who signed a memorandum of understanding with Arvind Ltd executive director Kulin Lalbhai, in the presence of state chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu.

On completion, the state-of-the-art integrated textile and apparel facility will annually produce 24 million pieces of jeans and shirts.
