India’s ambitious PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Parks initiative has achieved a major milestone, with all seven proposed textile parks securing 100% land acquisition and environmental clearances, while attracting investment interest worth ₹68,590 crore, according to the Ministry of Textiles.
The PM MITRA scheme, launched to create world-class, integrated textile manufacturing ecosystems across the country, has an approved outlay of ₹4,445 crore for the period from 2021-22 to 2027-28.
The government has identified seven locations across six states for Greenfield projects and one state for a Brownfield project, covering the entire textile value chain from fibre and spinning to processing, apparel, and exports.
The seven PM MITRA Parks are being developed in Virudhunagar (Tamil Nadu), Warangal (Telangana), Navsari (Gujarat), Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Dhar (Madhya Pradesh), Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), and Amravati (Maharashtra).
According to information provided by Minister of State for Textiles Shri Pabitra Margherita in a written reply in the Lok Sabha, Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) have been signed with all participating states, while joint venture agreements have been executed and Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) have been incorporated for all five Greenfield projects.
Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) worth ₹13,537 crore have already been finalized for all seven states, reflecting the government’s commitment to accelerating infrastructure development.
Among all the proposed parks, Madhya Pradesh has emerged as the leading investment destination, attracting ₹19,846 crore in investment interest across 2,158 acres. Gujarat follows with ₹13,094 crore, while Maharashtra has received investment proposals worth ₹12,000 crore.
Tamil Nadu’s PM MITRA Park in Virudhunagar, which is spread across 1,052 acres, has attracted ₹2,067.90 crore in investment interest, while Telangana’s Warangal park has secured ₹3,800 crore in proposed investments.
The scheme is expected to significantly transform India’s textile manufacturing landscape by creating integrated industrial ecosystems that reduce logistics costs, strengthen supply chains, improve manufacturing efficiency, and enhance export competitiveness.
Once operational, each PM MITRA Park is expected to generate around 3 lakh employment opportunities, including 1 lakh direct and 2 lakh indirect jobs, creating the potential for more than 21 lakh jobs across all seven parks.
Infrastructure development is also progressing across multiple sites. Telangana has reported the highest level of completed internal infrastructure work, while Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh have already initiated major external infrastructure projects.
The PM MITRA initiative is considered one of the government’s most significant textile infrastructure programs, aimed at positioning India as a global manufacturing hub by bringing together the entire textile value chain within integrated industrial clusters.
With land acquisition completed, environmental approvals secured, and strong investor interest already in place, the PM MITRA scheme is moving closer to creating next-generation textile manufacturing ecosystems capable of supporting India’s long-term growth ambitions.
