Recognising the initiative as part of the ‘Make in Bihar’ model, Mishra stated that the factory was an example of increased confidence by investors in Bihar. He pointed out that the state government was consistently refining its industrial policies to make Bihar a more favourable investment destination as well as to improve local economic self-reliance.
The unit will only use vegan and eco-friendly raw materials, demonstrating sustainability and ethical production. The factory is focusing on international grading compliance while assisting the fashion industry in being environmentally responsible.
