You have not specified if you want to start a woven fabric or a knitted fabric business. My expertise is in the field of woven textiles and I personally recommend the industrial areas around Ahmedabad for this industry. Main reasons:

1. Low overhead costs

2. Non-militant labor unions

3. Uniturrupted power supply (no 'power holiday' type of jokes)

4. Enough water supply

5. No issues with pollution board as common ETP available which is maintained well

6. Excellent connections to North, West and South by rail, air and road

7. Skilled manpower (this is known as Manchester of India) at low cost

8. Large size wholesalers available around locally who can bail out surplus capacity when the market goes slow.

On top of everything, the corruption level is somewhat lower, as I have seen.

If you need any more detail, you may contact me directly.

Regards

Any place in Gujarat due to better infrastructure, lower corruption, uninterrupted electricity supply and negligible union interference.

I will say establish your factory and head office in TIRUPUR bcoz overhead charges will go down by 50% if ur managemnet was good and have  a branch office in NCR to deal with the agencies.

Not a simple answer to give.

Depends on so many factors like:

1) closeness of raw material

2) access to infrastructure like rail and sea port if you are looking at exports also

3) availability of trained manpower - no point in having such a unit in Sikkim where they are not trained for this

4) advantage of govt. sops offered for your unit. Certain backward regions get tax holidays.

5) closeness to customer base. No point in transporting goods all the way from assam when your main customers are in the South

 These i would say are the main points to consider.
