Perambalur district, a major cotton growing district stands to benefit from the textile park.

Uninterrupted power supply would also be provided. The road would be widened for 20 metres for a distance of 1.4 km. Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board (TWAD Board) would supply 2.5 million litres of water per day.

Government has accorded permission to the Directorate of Handlooms and Textiles for drafting the project.

Cotton cultivation at Perambalur district has been taken up on around 40,000 hectares in the district this year. More and more farmers evince interest in taking up cotton cultivation as cotton fetched good price for them and also the scheme announced by the State government for taking Rs.1.25 lakh of income per hectare made farmers take up cotton cultivation.
