The government of India is reviewing the Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP) after a recent report commissioned by the Ministry of Textiles claimed that the scheme has failed to achieve its objectives. The report, published by Wazir Advisors, cites a number of reasons for SITP’s poor performance, including high rents in textile parks, insufficient marketing, and poor accessibility. The report suggests consideration of a new scheme that would center on larger parks. (Fibre2Fashion)
