The government of India’s Andhra Pradesh state has identified Visakhapatnam as a potential zone for technical textiles with special emphasis on medical textiles due to warehousing and port facilities, state handlooms and textiles secretary I Srinivas Srinaresh said recently at a workshop on investment opportunities in technical and medical textiles.

The workshop was organised by the Department of Handlooms and Textiles in association with AP Chambers of Commerce and Industry Federation, according to a report in top South Indian daily.

Once medical textiles were promoted in a big way in Visakhapatnam, it would give scope for investment in ancillary units, Srinaresh said. An AP MedTech Zone, a medical devices manufacturing park, would be established on the suburbs of Visakhapatnam. (DS)
