The Karnataka government has cleared the 'gems and jewellery park' and 'integrated garment city projects' that are proposed to be set up on the outskirts of Bangalore. | |
| Speaking to reporters here, Karnataka small scale industries (SSI) minister Katta Subrahmanyam Naidu said that the projects were proposed by various trade associations. |
| |
| While a consortium of jewellery manufacturers' associations came up with the 'gems and jewellery park' project, the South India Garment Association proposed the garment city project. |
| |
| "The government will only assist the project promoters in identifying the land. The promoters will make all the necessary investments," Naidu added. |
| |
| The 'gems and jewellery park' will provide entrepreneurs production-cum-showroom-cum-export facilities. The consortium has identified 50 acres near Sarjapur for the purpose. The integrated garment city will come up on a 200-acre plot between Mysore Road and Kanakapura Road. As many as 300 sheds will be built for the garment units, the minister explained. |
| |
| The Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB) has been asked to expedite the process of acquiring land for the two projects, Naidu said. |
