SMEDA Initiates Second Phase of Industrial Stitching Units Project

March 3, 2025

The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA) has initiated the second phase of its Industrial Stitching Units project, aligning with the Uraan Pakistan program to enhance SME exports.

According to SMEDA statement today, the consultative session, led by SMEDA’s CEO Socrat Aman Rana, brought together stakeholders from the textile garments manufacturing sector, including APTMA, PRGMEA, and PHMA representatives. Officials from the Ministry of Industries and Production and the Ministry of Planning, Development and Special Initiatives participated via video link.

According to Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority, the project, originally approved in 2018, provides matching grants for the establishment of industrial stitching units. Phase I, set to conclude on June 30, 2025, facilitated the creation of 150 units. Phase II aims to establish 350 units with 100% grants for export-oriented facilities. The grant size has increased from Rs. 1.8 million to Rs. 5 million, supporting approximately 50 machines to handle export orders.

Project Director Muhammad Raza highlighted that Phase I resulted in 1208 new jobs and empowered women entrepreneurship, with 41% of the units being female-owned. Private sector participants praised the project’s transparency and technical support, offering suggestions for Phase II, which will support a broader range of textile exports compared to Phase I.
