  • The Rajasthan State Industrial Development & Investment Corporation has come up with schemes that would attract textile industries towards the state. It is promoting two garment zones in Bhilwara, the first zone already allotted with 80 acres of land, and the second one is estimated to have 1000 acres with allotments following soon. This is also a reason for the focus of textile industries towards Bhilwara. The Governments special scheme of offering 50 per cent exemption on sales tax is also an appealing factor for the textile focus.
