Chhattisgarh Offers Up To 200% Incentives To Attract Textile Investments
Chhattisgarh is stepping up its push to emerge as a textile manufacturing hub, offering incentives of up to 200 percent of fixed capital investment under its Industrial Development Policy 2024–30.
In a strong value proposition for investors, a Rs 100 crore garment unit could be eligible for incentives of up to Rs 200 crore, depending on project scale, employment generation and eligibility criteria. The move is aimed at diversifying the state’s economy beyond its traditional mineral base.
According to Rajat Kumar, Secretary, Department of Commerce & Industries, the policy combines ready infrastructure with a comprehensive incentive framework to ease investor entry and enable faster scale-up.
The state is developing plug-and-play textile parks in Nava Raipur, offering plots ranging from 0.3 to 10 acres, backed by reliable utilities, common effluent treatment systems and integrated waste management. Designed for round-the-clock operations, the parks also include worker housing and support facilities.
Strategically located along the Mumbai–Howrah rail corridor and within reach of Visakhapatnam Port, the parks provide strong connectivity to both domestic and export markets, with Raipur airport linking major cities within a short flight duration.
The policy also includes employment-linked incentives, offering monthly support for workers over five years, along with training subsidies, capital support, 100 per cent electricity duty exemption for 12 years and freight assistance.
With a strong base in Tussar silk production and the GI-tagged Champa silk, Chhattisgarh is also investing in skill development through its Right to Skill Act to build an industry-ready workforce.
Early investor interest is already visible, with companies such as Swift Merchandise and Punit Creation expected to generate over 10,000 jobs through proposed projects in the state.
