The Government’s flagship PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Parks initiative continues to gain momentum, with the seven proposed textile parks attracting investment interest worth ₹68,590 crore while advancing the development of an integrated textile value chain across India.
Launched with a scheme outlay of ₹4,445 crore for the period 2021-22 to 2027-28, the PM MITRA initiative aims to establish world-class textile manufacturing hubs based on the ‘5F’ vision — Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign.
The scheme seeks to strengthen every stage of textile manufacturing, from raw material production and processing to garment manufacturing and exports, through the development of large-scale integrated industrial ecosystems.
The seven PM MITRA Parks are being established in Tamil Nadu (Virudhunagar), Telangana (Warangal), Gujarat (Navsari), Karnataka (Kalaburagi), Madhya Pradesh (Dhar), Uttar Pradesh (Lucknow), and Maharashtra (Amravati).
According to information provided by Minister of State for Textiles Shri Pabitra Margherita in a written reply in the Lok Sabha, all participating states have signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with the Ministry, while 100% land acquisition has been completed for all seven sites.
The Ministry also confirmed that environmental clearances have been secured for all PM MITRA Parks, while joint venture agreements have been signed and Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) have been incorporated for all five Greenfield projects.
Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) worth ₹13,537 crore have been finalized across all seven states, highlighting the scale of the infrastructure being developed under the initiative.
The PM MITRA Parks are designed to offer both core infrastructure and support infrastructure to textile manufacturers. Core facilities include developed factory plots, plug-and-play manufacturing units, incubation centres, roads, power supply, water systems, and wastewater management facilities.
Support infrastructure will include Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs), workers’ hostels, housing facilities, logistics parks, warehouses, medical facilities, and training and skill development centres.
The scheme also allows up to 10% of the total park area to be used for commercial development, including shopping complexes, office spaces, hotels, and convention centres, creating integrated industrial townships around textile manufacturing hubs.
Infrastructure development is already progressing across all seven locations. According to the Ministry, external infrastructure projects worth ₹2,736 crore are currently under development, with ₹797.30 crore already spent.
Similarly, internal infrastructure projects worth ₹1,720 crore have commenced across all states, with expenditure reaching ₹524 crore so far.
The Ministry revealed that it had received 18 proposals from 13 states during the selection process, with seven sites ultimately being chosen for the ambitious initiative.
Once fully operational, the PM MITRA Parks are expected to significantly enhance India’s manufacturing competitiveness by reducing logistics costs, strengthening supply chains, attracting large-scale investments, generating employment, and increasing exports.
The initiative is widely regarded as one of India’s most significant textile infrastructure projects and is expected to play a critical role in transforming the country into a global textile manufacturing and sourcing destination.
