The Chief Minister sanctioned Rs 699 crore for ORR in Warangal and Rs 78 crore for ROB and works will be started soon.

Some Tiruppur-based textile manufacturers have already committed to invest in the textile park.

Telangana produces about 60 lakh bales of cotton a year, most of which is sent to adjoining states due to shortage of processing units.
