Ghosh highlighted that this move would position Odisha as a leader in the sector, as Eastern India has so far lacked a large integrated plant for the textile industry.
Debabrata Ghosh, the Director of Oerlikon, has suggested that Odisha could emerge as the next global hub for the synthetic fibre-based textile industry. With its strategic location, robust infrastructure, and supportive policies, Odisha holds the potential to attract investment and establish itself as a key player in the global textile sector. The state’s abundant resources, skilled workforce, and government initiatives aimed at promoting industrial growth further strengthen its prospects.
Synthetic fibres, such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic, are gaining popularity due to their durability, cost-effectiveness, and versatility in textile manufacturing. Odisha’s ability to capitalize on this trend could position it as a leader in the synthetic fibre-based textile industry, contributing to both the local economy and the global supply chain. Ghosh’s vision highlights the state’s potential to drive innovation and growth in this sector, attracting international businesses and boosting exports.
