The Andhra Pradesh government has announced plans to establish a permanent campus for the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) on a 10-acre site at Sakhamuru in Amaravati.
Handlooms and Textiles Minister S. Savita shared the announcement during a state briefing, highlighting the project as part of a wider policy to boost the textile, handloom, and garment sectors.
The new institute will be located in Amaravati’s emerging educational hub, which also serves as the permanent home for the 50-acre National Institute of Design (NID) campus.
The state government has previously requested approximately ₹280 crore in central assistance from the Union Textiles Ministry to support infrastructure construction.
Broader revitalization plans also include developing a Handloom and Handicrafts Museum in Amaravati and establishing dedicated handloom parks in Mangalagiri and Uppada.
