A US$100 Million Landmark Investment Spanning 40 Acres Sets a New Global Benchmark for Sustainable, Inclusive Industrial Manufacturing

Khordha, Odisha, April 29, 2026 — Epic Group, one of the world’s leading vertically integrated apparel manufacturers, today inaugurated its state-of-the-art Trimetro Manufacturing Campus in Khordha, Odisha — a landmark US$100 million investment that sets a new benchmark for sustainable industrial development in India. The Trimetro Manufacturing Campus was formally inaugurated by Shri Sampad Chandra Swain, Honourable Industries Minister, along with Shri Prashant Kumar Jagdev, Hon’ble MLA, Khurda, and other key dignitaries from the ministry, as well as Mr. Ranjan Mahtani, Founder & Chairman, Epic Group, in the presence of senior leadership from Epic Group, key industry stakeholders, and government officials.
Backed by a US$100 million investment, the Trimetro Campus is India’s first fully net-zero carbon and net-zero water garment manufacturing facility. Spread across 40 acres, the Trimetro campus represents a powerful convergence of advanced manufacturing, environmental responsibility, and inclusive economic growth. Designed as one of India’s most future-ready garment manufacturing facilities, the campus will produce 20 million garments annually for global markets.
The project was supported in part by International Finance Corporation (IFC) through a $100 million debt financing package provided in 2024, which included a sustainability-linked loan and a green loan with sustainability-linked features. The IFC financing supported this facility as well as Epic Group’s broader expansion initiatives across the region, including operations in Bangladesh.
“At Epic, we believe that industrial progress and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. The Trimetro Manufacturing Campus is the embodiment of this belief — a model for how manufacturing can grow sustainably while contributing to the well-being of people and the planet. This is more than a factory; it is a blueprint for the future of global manufacturing,” said Mr. Ranjan Mahtani, Founder & Chairman, Epic Group
