A plan is being made to create a textile park to revive the closed mills of Prayagraj and promote investment.
Gyanendra Singh, Prayagraj. The desolation of the spinning mills that were closed for decades is going to go away. These mills will be as buzzing as before, where the roar of the machines in the factories will be heard. The land of these mills has been given to Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPCIDA), which will develop it as a textile park and establish new factories here. It has been estimated that about 550 factories can be set up in these mills, in which an investment of around Rs 5,000 crore has been estimated.
Preparation to set up industry in spinning mills
On the instructions of the government, the land of spinning mills has been given to UPCIDA by the government to establish industries in Meja in Yamunapar and Mauaima and Banda spinning mills in Gangapar. UPCIDA will now develop the land of these mills and allot plots for industries. The maximum land is 175 acres near Meja Spinning Mill.
The land of Banda Mill also got transferred to the name of UPSIDA.
83 acres of land of Mauaima Mill and 100 acres of Banda Mill have also been transferred to the name of UPSIDA. In this, plots of 2100, 3500, 10 thousand square meters will be cut. Some plots are also of two and five acres, in which big industries can be set up. All the machines of Meja Spinning Mill and Mauaima Spinning Mill have been removed. Their buildings have also been demolished.
Meja Spinning Mill was lying closed for the last two decades. Due to the closure of the mill the machines had rusted. The building was dilapidated. All the employees have taken voluntary retirement (VRS). Mauaima spinning mill was also closed for more than one and a half decade. Now the process of declaring these mills as textile parks has started.
Textile park will be industrial area
Textile Park will be an industrial area, where all the facilities related to textile industry like production, processing, research and development will be available at one place. This is expected to boost investment, employment and exports. Under the 'PM Mitra' scheme, the Government of India is setting up such mega textile parks in many states of the country, which are based on the Farm-to-Fibre-to-Factory-to-Fashion-to-Foreign (Five F) vision, so that India can be made a global textile hub.
What does the regional manager of UPSIDA say?
UPSIDA regional manager Santosh Kumar says that land for Meja, Mauaima and Banda spinning mills has already been found. The land has been demarcated. Now textile park will be developed in these. Letters are being sent to the associations of the concerned sector for investment here.
