The Uttar Pradesh cabinet has approved the transfer of land for five major Textile and Apparel Parks to be set up in Varanasi, Amroha, Bareilly, Sant Kabir Nagar and Bijnor.
The state government recently confirmed that more than 326 acres have been set aside for the projects, with cabinet clearance granted for the transfer of all land parcels.
Each of the parks will be developed under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework, with the administration aiming to draw fresh investment and generate large-scale employment in the state.
The notification setting up the authority to implement the projects has already been issued.
The Northern India Textile Research Association (NITRA) has filed the pre-feasibility report for the Varanasi park, while revised reports for the other four are being drawn up.
These will be finalised after factoring in inputs from the industry.
