Known for prints and ladies dresses, Jaipur is now growing bigger, as most of the mid-sized companies having 150 to 250 machines are looking to increase capacities. Goyal Readytex with 300 machines, is now planning to install 600 more machines in a new factory spread over 60,000 sq. feet area. The total investment for this expansion is nearly Rs. 7 crore and the new unit is likely to be commissioned by the year 2015. Manoj Goyal, Director of the company shares, “Apart from strong existing buyer base, new markets like Latin America and Japan is our new focus. Especially as Japan’s payment is very secure and Jaipur is already doing good business with Japanese buyers.”
Manoj laments that Jaipur requires Government support to expand its dyeing and printing expertise, as the city doesn’t have specific place or land for this purpose. The company has capacity for 5,000 metre discharge print per day and is manufacturing apparels as well as home furnishing products and is exporting mainly into Europe. The company is also making a dormitory for 100 workers in the new factory so that the workers will be able to save more money.
