    The parks will boost the textiles sector in line with 5F (Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign) vision, he added.

    The government has provided an outlay of ₹4,445 crore for these parks and expects to draw an investment of around ₹70,000 crore.

    Textiles minister Piyush Goyal said these parks will put Indian textiles industry on a firm footing on the global front and will be shining examples of sustainability, with zero liquid discharge, common effluent treatment, use of emission-free renewable energy and adoption of global best practices. He said this cluster-based approach will enhance the quality and competitiveness of products, boost exports and strengthen India's position in global supply chains.

    He said the selection of states took into account connectivity, existing ecosystem, policy, infrastructure, among others.

    Kulin Lalbhai, chairman of CII National Committee on Textiles and Apparel, said these parks will aid the textile industry to leverage economies of scale.
