Indian Central Government proposes setting up five Handloom Export Zones in Tamil Nadu as part of an initiative to promote exports in this sector.
While the State Government will provide infrastructure and land, the Centre will provide funding (60 Lakhs i.e. US $150,000) for each centre.
The five Handloom Export Zones will come up in Tiruvannamalai, Nagercoil, Virudhunagar, Kancheepuram, and Nagapattinam.
