CHENNAI: The government is going to set up five Handloom Export Zones (HEZs) in Tamil Nadu as part of initiatives to promote exports in the sector.
While the state government would provide infrastructure and land for this, the Centre will provide Rs 60 lakh for each of the clusters, Minister of State for Commerce Jairam Ramesh told reporters here today.
The five HEZs will come up in Nagercoil, Virudhunagar, Kancheepuram, Tiruvannamalai and Nagapattinam, he said. The first HEZ would be commissioned in Nagercoil by October this year.
"The HEZs would provide new focus for export of handloom and more jobs domestically," Ramesh said.
