Andhra Pradesh Govt urges Centre for mega textile park at 'Kopparthi'

17 November 2021, Mumbai:

The state government is lobbying for a textile park at the Kopparthi mega industrial park in Kadapa. The Centre has already proposed seven major textile parks to be set up across the country this year. The state had placed a request for one park and had promised its support to establish it.

Minister for industries, Mekapati Gautham Reddy, who concluded his two-day visit to the national capital on Friday, met several Union ministers during his visit and placed requests on behalf of the state government.

The minister also made a strong request to the Centre for establishing solar power plants in the state.

He told the Centre that Coal India Limited (CIL) had come forward to establish a solar wafer cell PV modular manufacturing unit at Kopparthy. This would come up at an investment of Rs 7,200 crore, for which CIL has already established a special purpose vehicle (SPV), he told the Union minister of power. TOI
