India’s textile sector is one of the largest contributors to the country's economy, accounting for approximately 2.3% of GDP and 12% of export earnings[1]. The industry is expected to reach USD 190 billion by 2025-26, driven by both domestic demand and export growth. The textile industry is also labour-intensive, employing over 45 million people directly and 100 million in allied industries^[2]. With a renewed focus on sustainability and innovation, there is significant scope for further investment and modernization in the sector.

This investment aims to set up manufacturing plant, streamlining processes, improve product quality, and expand operations both in domestic and international markets. Primus Partners played a crucial role in enabling this investment by providing end-to-end facilitation services, from project planning to securing government incentives.
