Uttar Pradesh took part in a big textile event called Gartex Texprocess India 2025. This event happened in Mumbai from May 22 to May 24. It was an important time for Uttar Pradesh to show what it has to offer in the textile industry. The team from Uttar Pradesh spoke to many companies and business people. They told them about the great business opportunities in the state. The event helped Uttar Pradesh to tell others that it is ready for big investments and wants to grow in the textile sector with help from strong support and good planning by the government.
The Uttar Pradesh delegation included people from Invest UP and the Directorate of Handloom & Textiles. These officials shared all the reasons why Uttar Pradesh is a good place to set up textile businesses. They talked about how the state already has strong roads, railways, and good places for setting up factories. They also told people that the government has made many good rules to support business. All this was done to tell business owners that if they invest in Uttar Pradesh, they will get good returns and also many benefits from the state.
One of the biggest things shown at the event was the PM MITRA Park project. This park will be made in the Lucknow-Hardoi area of Uttar Pradesh. It will be a very large and modern place for textile businesses. Factories, offices, training centers, and even homes will be built in this park. The idea is to keep everything related to textile production in one place. This makes things faster and cheaper for businesses. It also helps create jobs and makes it easier for workers to live and work in the same area without traveling too far.
The park will also include green spaces, safety systems, water recycling plants, and other useful services. It will be built in a smart way to save energy and reduce pollution. The government wants to show that Uttar Pradesh cares about the environment too. When factories are built in this new park, they will be clean and well-managed. The park will also help companies save money by sharing services like transport and electricity. This helps small businesses grow faster without spending too much. Many business owners showed interest in setting up work in this PM MITRA Park.
At the expo, the officials explained how Uttar Pradesh is planning to become a one-trillion-dollar economy. This is a very big goal. It means the state wants to become one of the richest and most powerful in India. To reach this goal, the textile industry is seen as very important. That is why the state is working hard to bring more companies to invest in textiles. They believe that by making cloth, clothes, and other textile products in large numbers, the state can earn a lot of money and help its people find jobs and better lives.
The event in Mumbai was a chance for Uttar Pradesh to speak with both Indian and foreign investors. The officials told them about all the good things the state offers. For example, Uttar Pradesh has a large number of skilled workers who can be hired at reasonable wages. These workers already know how to make clothes and use machines in factories. There are also many people who can be trained quickly. This makes it easy for companies to find the right people for their work, which helps them start production without delay or high costs.
Another big plus point is the strong road and train system in Uttar Pradesh. This helps companies move raw materials and finished products easily from one place to another. There are also many dry ports and airports nearby, which make exporting goods faster. Investors were happy to hear that they would not face problems in transporting their goods. This is important because if products take too long to reach customers, companies lose money. With good roads and trains, companies can deliver orders on time and build trust with buyers in India and other countries too.
Uttar Pradesh also told companies that the state has enough electricity. This is important for factories that run machines all day and night. Power cuts can be a big problem in many places, but not in Uttar Pradesh. The officials said that the state has a power surplus, which means there is more electricity than needed. Companies will not have to stop work due to lack of power. This was good news for many investors because they know how important power is for running textile machines and keeping the factory working without delays.
The officials at the expo also explained how the government is giving good support to businesses. There are many financial schemes, tax cuts, and special benefits for companies that invest in Uttar Pradesh. These schemes reduce the cost of building a factory and help companies make profits faster. The government also helps with getting land, permissions, and other paperwork. Many companies find it hard to start business due to too much red tape. But in Uttar Pradesh, the government is ready to help and make things easier so that businesses can grow quickly and smoothly.
During the event, the state officials held several meetings with different business groups and company leaders. They answered questions and explained everything in simple terms. The meetings were friendly and open. Many companies shared their plans and asked about how to start work in the state. Some were interested in building factories while others wanted to open shops or training centers. The officials promised to help everyone and provide full support. They also gave out booklets and guides with full information so that people could read and understand everything clearly.
The response from the people at the expo was very positive. Many were surprised to learn that Uttar Pradesh had made so much progress in recent years. They said that the state now looks ready for big business, and they liked how the officials were serious and professional. Some people said they had never thought about investing in Uttar Pradesh before, but now they were excited to explore the chances. The state’s clear plans, good rules, and focus on industry impressed many, and they showed interest in visiting the state soon to look at possible factory sites.
Uttar Pradesh also talked about its long history in textile work. For many years, people in the state have made beautiful cloth, sarees, and handloom products. Places like Varanasi, Meerut, and Bhadohi are already famous for textiles. The state wants to connect this traditional work with modern industry. This means both old and new businesses can grow together. For example, small weavers can now work with big factories to sell their designs. This helps preserve culture and also gives more income to traditional workers who have long been a part of India’s textile story.
The state is also building special zones called industrial corridors. These corridors have good roads, water, power, and internet. These are perfect places to set up factories. The Gartex Expo was a great chance to show where these corridors are and how they can help businesses. Companies can choose the zone that fits their need. Some may want to be near Delhi, while others may choose a quieter place. Each zone has something special to offer. The officials shared maps and photos of these zones so that companies could choose wisely.
Another important thing shared at the event was about training workers. Uttar Pradesh is setting up centers where people can learn to work in textile factories. They can learn how to run machines, do stitching, design clothes, or manage production. These skills are useful and help people find jobs faster. Businesses like this idea because they do not have to spend too much time and money on training new workers. The state will prepare the workers, and companies can hire them directly. This helps both workers and companies grow faster together.
Officials also talked about how Uttar Pradesh is safe and peaceful. Investors often worry about safety and law issues. But the state has improved a lot. Crime rates are down and police are active. This makes it safe for workers, factory owners, and goods. The government has also made laws that protect business owners and their investments. This helps build trust between the government and private companies. Safety, rules, and order are very important for businesses, and the state has shown that it is serious about maintaining them in every part of the state.
Uttar Pradesh also wants to grow exports. The state already sends many goods to other countries. By helping textile businesses set up and produce more, exports will increase. This will bring in more foreign money. The state is working with national and international buyers to make trade easier. They also give help with paperwork, quality checks, and international marketing. Companies that want to export goods will get support. This makes it easy for small businesses to grow and become global. It also helps Uttar Pradesh become an important name in the world of textiles and exports.
The textile expo in Mumbai gave Uttar Pradesh a stage to tell its story. It was a time to say, “We are ready for business.” The officials were clear, confident, and friendly. They showed real plans, maps, policies, and support schemes. They invited companies to visit the state and see things for themselves. Uttar Pradesh is not just dreaming; it is working hard to turn its plans into reality. The textile sector has a strong future in the state. With the help of the government, businesses, and workers, this future will soon become true.
In the coming months, the state will follow up with all the companies that showed interest. Officials will help them visit the state, find land, talk to banks, and start building. The government will keep working to improve rules, remove problems, and give all help needed. The event in Mumbai was just the start. Now, the real work will begin. Factories will be built, jobs will be created, and dreams will come alive. The future of textiles in Uttar Pradesh looks bright, and the state is ready to welcome every investor who wants to be part of this journey.
