The Government of Punjab (GoP) has initiated a project of “Quaid-e-Azam Apparel Park (QAAP)“ and PIEDMC has been made responsible for its execution. The project is located on M-2, motorway near district Sheikupura, in order to facilitate the textile, garment & apparel sector all over the Pakistan.
Presently, there is neither any organized or planned Garment/Apparel Zone neither in Punjab nor in the entire Country. Therefore, there is an utmost need for establishment of state-of-the-art Apparel / Garment Zone to encourage and promote garment related industrial activity. It can also become a source of foreign investment by projecting to international industrial community; in particular, South Asia, China and Central Asian States. As a matter of fact, establishment of Garment Zone will bring prosperity to the entire region at local and national levels.
Since, the focus of Apparel / Garment Zone will be largely on industries like textiles and garments but allied and other general industries related to textile and garment will also be given the same importance as these industries will serve a major role in supporting and supplying to the main industries. There will also be opportunities for industries producing value additions products, therefore planning and development be carried out in light of their (all types of textile, garment and related industries) combined technical and financial parameters.
The Apparel Zone will be developed on minimum 1536 acres which can meet the requirements to provide maximum possible facilities including infrastructure, amenities, CETP and grid station etc. to the potential industrialists.
