In the past, mills like JC Mill and Gwalior Rayon had given the city global recognition. However, with their closure over time, the city lost its prominence in the sector.
At present, efforts are underway to set up companies like Blackberrys and Valencia Apparels in the region.
Recently, MPIDC organised an interactive outreach session focused on investment opportunities in the textile and garment sector.
