industries.
Textile Industry Clusters in Andhra Pradesh
The Government of India’s cluster development initiatives, involving
technical assistance, subsidies for technology upgradation and marketing
support, strengthened the competitiveness of the SMEs, which also
consolidated their position in the global value chain. A case in point is the
initiative undertaken by the Textile Committee under the Ministry of Textiles,
which undertook a cluster-based programme for capacity building in textile
and clothing SMEs across the country.
Among the successes of the Textile Committee’s cluster development
initiatives was the acquiring of intellectual property rights protection for the
Pochampally Ikat tie-and-dye sari, from the Nalgonda District in Andhra
Pradesh (in the Hyderabad cluster). It was the first traditional Indian craft to
receive this status of XXVIII geographical branding in 2004, and expected to
benefit several weavers in the state.
Major Textile Clusters in Andhra Pradesh
Based on Budget Announcement made in 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-
11, 12 centres are being developed as mega cluster on a Public Private
Partnership (PPP) model in India. The list included a Handicrafts Mega

5. Major textile parks and export promotion
parks
The scheme of "Apparel Parks for Exports” was formulated with a view to involve
State Governments in promoting investments in the apparel sector. The Scheme
was intended to impart focused thrust to setting up of apparel manufacturing units of
international standards at potential growth centres and to give fillip to exports in this
sector. The Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP) is a demand driven scheme,
where parks are sanctioned after receiving proposals. There are 61 existing textile
