Naveen Patnaik, Chief Minister, Odisha, inaugurated a Rs 3,000 crore Integrated Textiles Manufacturing Facility and Warehousing Complex by Welspun Group in Choudwar, Cuttack district.
The project is expected to create over 10,000 jobs and revive Choudwar's historical significance as a textile hub. It will benefit cotton farmers in Kalahandi, Bolangir, Rayagada and Gajapati districts besides creating new employment opportunities for women, says Patnaik.
The project is a result of collaboration between the state government and Welspun during the Make in Odisha program in 2022. It aims to establish a world-class textiles ecosystem in Odisha and carry forward the legacy of Biju Babu. The project underscores a significant stride towards economic development and industrial growth in the region, adds BK Goenka, Chairman, Welspun Group.
