In conversation with technicaltextile.net, Mr. Arshad Iqbal Siddiqui, owner of Indtex International, said, “In a joint venture, Beaulieu International Group and Indtex International have invested Rs. 1 billion to set up a technical textile plant in Uttar Pradesh.”

“Beaulieu International may hold the majority share in the textile plant, which would come up at Dewa Road near Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh,” he adds.

According to Mr. Siddiqui, the construction work of the plant would begin within six months time and the plant is scheduled to start its operation by next year. “The textile plant would convert PP granules into carpet backings along with other flooring materials,” he says.
