The park, covering 1000 acres, will be situated in various survey numbers of Kirangi, Nadisinnur, and Firozabad villages in Kalaburagi taluk of Kalaburagi district.
In addition to the mega park in Kalaburagi, plans are underway to establish textile parks at Karkala (Udupi district), Ranebennur (Haveri district), Raichur (Raichur district), Navalgund (Dharwad district), Guledagudda (Bagalkot district), and Kondlahalli (Chitradurga district) through public-private partnerships. Another private textile park focusing on jeans and apparels is proposed in Bellary.

The state government will provide electricity and water at concessional rates to support textile units within the park, contributing to the growth of the textile industry and promoting economic development in the region.
