Epic Group has opened its Trimetro Manufacturing Campus in Khordha, Odisha, a US $100 million garment facility, which will be India’s first fully net-zero carbon and net-zero water apparel manufacturing campus.
The Trimetro Manufacturing Campus was formally inaugurated by Industries Minister Sampad Chandra Swain with key other dignitaries from the ministry and Ranjan Mahtani, Founder & Chairman, Epic Group, in the presence of senior leadership from Epic Group, key industry stakeholders, and government officials.
Established on a 40-acre site the company is expected to produce 20 million garments a year for global markets and create 10,000 jobs, with women expected to make up 80% of the workforce. The facility is India’s first fully net-zero carbon through solar, biomass, battery storage, and energy-efficient systems and net-zero water garment manufacturing facility.
The campus will use onsite and offsite solar power, sustainable biomass, battery storage and energy-efficient systems to lower emissions.
According to Epic Group the project was supported in part by International Finance Corporation (IFC) through a $100 million debt financing package provided in 2024, which included a sustainability-linked loan and a green loan with sustainability-linked features. The IFC financing supported this facility as well as Epic Group’s broader expansion initiatives across the region, including operations in Bangladesh.
“At Epic, we believe that industrial progress and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. The Trimetro Manufacturing Campus is the embodiment of this belief — a model for how manufacturing can grow sustainably while contributing to the well-being of people and the planet. This is more than a factory; it is a blueprint for the future of global manufacturing,” said Ranjan Mahtani, Founder & Chairman, Epic Group.
