Overview
- The government has formally notified three committees focused on spinning and weaving, apparel and dyeing and finishing to inform Punjab’s upcoming industrial policy.
- Each panel is led by a prominent industry chair—S P Oswal, Sandeep Jain and Rajnish Gupta—with the Additional Deputy Commissioner (General), Ludhiana, as member secretary.
- Committees comprise eight to ten members drawn from major textile firms and associations, with scope for additional appointments as needed.
- Mandated to study successful frameworks from other states, the panels must submit a “best-in-class” policy blueprint in writing by October 1, 2025.
- This textile initiative builds on a July 17 launch of 22 sectoral committees aimed at streamlining regulations, boosting investment and creating jobs across Punjab’s industries.
