Ahead of the budget, a key demand from the industry is the establishment of a dedicated textile park in the city. Manufacturers say consolidating production units within a single, designated hub would highly improve infrastructure, logistics and operational efficiency, while also supporting sustainable growth.
Industry players are also expecting targeted policy support and schemes aimed at enhancing global competitiveness. They warn that rising competition from low-cost Chinese textile products has put pressure on domestic manufacturers, making government intervention crucial to level the playing field.
Another major demand is the setting up of a design institute in Bhilwara. Industrialists believe such an institute would help attract younger talent, foster innovation, and equip the local workforce with modern design capabilities — a step they say is essential for competing with global brands and evolving market trends.
The second full Union Budget of the Modi government’s third term will be presented by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 1st.
