Raipur, March 25, 2026: Indian state Chhattisgarh rolls out game-changing incentives under its Industrial Development Policy 2024–30, offering up to 200% of fixed capital investment (FCI) to draw major garment manufacturing players.
A prime example: Under the policy, a garment unit with an investment of US$ 10 million and employment generation of around 3,000 persons may be eligible for total incentives of up to US$ 20 million, subject to applicable eligibility conditions. The incentives include capital subsidies, employment-linked assistance and operational support measures.
These cutting-edge textile and readymade garment parks in Nava Raipur span plots from 0.3 to 10 acres, delivering seamless plug-and-play setups. Facilities boast uninterrupted power, water, effluent treatment plants, and advanced waste systems, all engineered for round-the-clock production—including safe night shifts for women, complete with on-site worker accommodations.
Strategically placed along the Mumbai-Howrah rail line and just 500 km from Visakhapatnam Port, the parks ensure swift access to India’s vast domestic market and export gateways. Raipur’s international airport links to key cities in under two hours, slashing logistics hurdles.
“Our approach minimizes investor roadblocks by blending ready-to-go infrastructure with robust financial perks,” noted Rajat Kumar, Secretary at Chhattisgarh’s Commerce & Industries Department. “These Nava Raipur hubs empower rapid expansion and streamlined efficiency right from launch.”
The policy excels in employee-centric perks, including ongoing monthly support tailored for women and men, generous training allowances, capital subsidies, complete electricity duty exemptions for over a decade, and freight assistance.
Building on India’s rich textile legacy, Chhattisgarh churns out over 200 metric tonnes of Tussar silk yearly, with its famed Champa silk earning a GI tag. The state’s Right to Skill Act bolsters a skilled workforce, drawing from 50,000 annual graduates via NIFT, IIT, and IIM, amid a demographic where nearly 60% are working-age.
Major firms like Swift Merchandise and Punit Creation are set to pump in investments, projecting over 10,000 direct and indirect jobs, fueling India’s textile resurgence.
