The production of cotton yarn had started in April and until now we have exported around nine containers of yarn to Pakistan, China and Indonesia

Sources say that the cotton park has been set-up at Mangrol to tap the ever growing demand of cotton yarn in India and abroad. The plant will have around 30,000 spindles which will be helpful in twisting of 17,000 tonnes of cotton yarns on regular basis. Spread across 17-acre land, it will have 10 units of weaving, five units of knitting and three units for garment manufacturing. The yarn manufactured at the facility will be of international quality which definitely has a huge market.
