Rs 235 Crore Textile Project Set to Generate 4,650 Jobs in Chhattisgarh
Chhattisgarh has taken a significant step towards strengthening its textile manufacturing ecosystem with the establishment of the first garment production unit at Nava Raipur Textile Park.
Tamil Nadu-based Swift Textiles Pvt Ltd has announced plans to invest Rs 235 crore in a state-of-the-art garment manufacturing facility within the park. The unit will focus on producing knitwear and children’s garments for export markets in Europe and the United States.
The project is expected to create around 4,650 direct employment opportunities, making it one of the largest job-generating textile investments in the state. The initiative aligns with Chhattisgarh’s strategy to promote labour-intensive industries and expand employment opportunities for local communities, including youth from tribal and rural regions.
Under the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, textiles and ready-made garments have been identified as priority sectors. The policy offers employment-linked incentives to encourage industries that generate large-scale local jobs, while supporting skill development programmes tailored to industry requirements.
Spread across 81 acres, Nava Raipur Textile Park is being developed with modern industrial infrastructure, including internal roads, reliable power and water supply, substations, common facility centres, effluent treatment plants, solid waste management systems and logistics support. The integrated infrastructure is expected to attract both domestic and international investors.
In addition to Swift Textiles, land has been allocated to Punit Creations and Drishti Designs LLP. Together, the three companies are projected to invest approximately Rs 445 crore and create more than 11,000 jobs, laying the foundation for a major textile manufacturing hub in Central India.
The development comes amid rising industrial investment in Chhattisgarh. Over the past 18 months, the state has attracted investment proposals worth more than Rs 8 lakh crore across sectors including information technology, data centres, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, electronics and textiles, supporting its transition towards value-added manufacturing and export-oriented growth.
