Maharashtra Government has said that there is no such plan to shift the Textile Commissionerate out of Mumbai to Delhi.
As there were reports of shifting the Textile Commissionerate from Mumbai to Noida, the issue was raised in the Maharashtra assembly. However, the state’s Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that no such decision has been taken.
He said in the Legislative Assembly, “The textile commissioner and five officials have been asked to come to Delhi. This is an arrangement to restructure the Textile Ministry and to promote the sector. This commissionerate has a total of 500 officials and employees, and therefore one cannot claim that the entire commissionerate is being shifted to Delhi.”

He said that regarding the shifting, the letter of Ministry of Textiles had no mention of only a few officers being shifted out of Mumbai. On the contrary, the letter talks about shifting of entire commissionerate.
