• Telangana textile hub vision set for 2047
• Green textile hubs to boost textile sector
• Government promises support for textile investors

Telangana has set an ambitious goal to emerge as a global textile hub by 2047, with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy outlining a clear roadmap to position the state as a leading centre for fashion and textile production. Addressing the ATEXCON 2026 summit held in Hyderabad, he stressed that the state has both the capability and determination to lead the textile sector at an international level.

Highlighting the state’s strengths, the Chief Minister said Telangana already has a strong foundation in cotton production and skilled manpower, which can drive the next phase of industrial growth. He added that the government is committed to building a sustainable textile ecosystem that can compete globally.

As part of this vision, the state plans to establish green textile hubs that focus on environmentally responsible production. The government is also preparing to offer incentives, faster approvals and world class infrastructure to attract investors and industrialists into the textile sector.

Revanth Reddy invited global investors to be part of Telangana’s growth journey, stating that the state aims to become a major supplier of fashion garments to international markets. He noted that Telangana is already gaining global recognition in sectors like pharmaceuticals and electronics manufacturing, and now aims to replicate that success in textiles.

The Chief Minister also pointed out that textile tradition is deeply rooted in Telangana’s identity. From Pochampally ikat to Gadwal sarees and Warangal durries, the state has a rich legacy that can be expanded with modern technology and global market access.

Training programs are being planned to equip youth, especially women, with skills in design, cutting and stitching. By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques, the government aims to strengthen employment opportunities and boost production capacity.

Industries Minister Sridhar Babu said the state is working towards making Made in Telangana a globally recognized brand. He highlighted the use of advanced technologies like AI blockchain and IoT to connect local artisans with international markets through digital platforms.

Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao emphasized that the textile sector will play a key role in Telangana Vision 2047. He said efforts are underway to preserve traditional handloom crafts while upgrading them with modern infrastructure, textile parks and export promotion centres.

The government also sees potential in linking textile production with the growing film industry in Hyderabad. With global film studios expanding in the city, there is an opportunity to supply fashion and costume materials directly from Telangana to international productions.

Officials and industry leaders who attended the summit expressed confidence that the state’s integrated approach will help build a strong and sustainable textile ecosystem, benefiting farmers, weavers, workers and investors alike.
