China investing US$2 bn to set largest cotton spinning facility in Pakistan

China’s fifth largest textile company, Shandong Ruyi Technology Group is investing US$2 bn to set up the largest cotton spinning facility in Pakistan. It has already bought 1,036 acres of land out of the total area of 4,500 acres in an industrial zone operated by the Faisalabad Industrial Estate Development and Management Company (FIEDMC),

Christened as “Shandong Ruyi Textile Park”, the project will have 600,000-spindle spinning factory in the industrial estate. The textile park will have an annual capacity to produce 157,000 tons of yarn, 500 million metres of Batik fabric, 100 million metres of denim fabric and 10 million pieces of jeans.

The project will be implemented in two phases. In the first phase, it will set up the largest textile mill and in the second phase workshops and equipment, vending and packing units will be established over an area of 536 acres. Apartments for employees will be built over 200 acres of land as per international standards.

According to reports, the project is estimated to generate job opportunities for more than 35,000 persons. For supply of raw material, Shandong Ruyi owns cotton fields in Australia and Vietnam from where it will import cotton to feed the spinning mill.

For energy supply front, the company will install a 135-Mw coal-based power plant to avoid disruption of work. After meeting its requirements, surplus energy will be sold to other industrial units. The company will provide energy to other textile units, easing the pressure on Sui Northern Gas Pipelines. The company will also provide a combined effluent treatment plant to reduce the cost of production.
