200 acres of land reserved for the purpose; 42 units accorded clearance
Plans to market and promote Chamarajanagar district as a knitwear hub is gaining traction as a few major players have evinced interest in investing in the region. It is the district’s proximity to Tirupur - the knitwear capital of India – which is one of the factors driving the decision apart from the low overhead costs entailed given the availability of both land and labour in the district. Though the concept was announced more than an year ago, it was put in the backburner due to the pandemic. However, with the graded unlocking and the imperatives of keeping the wheels of the economy turning, the authorities are fast tracking the concept.More Related News
