Gujarat has inaugurated a new smart textile manufacturing cluster in Surat. Designed with sustainability in mind, the hub features solar-powered machinery, water recycling units, and AI-driven fabric inspection systems. Over 200 textile units are expected to relocate to the hub in its first year. The government has offered subsidies for eco-friendly production and export incentives. The initiative supports India’s ambition to become a global textile powerhouse and create 25,000 direct jobs in the region.
