Seven New Textile Parks Sanctioned Under PM MITRA Scheme to Bolster India’s Textile Sector.

In 2025, the Government of India reinforced its push to transform the apparel and textile industry by accelerating the rollout of seven integrated PM MITRA parks across Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. Designed to embed complete textile value chains under one roof, these parks reflect India’s ambition to grow into a global textile leader through infrastructure modernization, enhanced exports, and job creation.

      - Approved in October 2021, the PM MITRA (Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel) initiative carries a total financial outlay of ₹4,445 crore, planned for implementation from 2021–22 to 2027–28. The parks will be developed through a Public–Private Partnership (PPP) model, with Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) jointly formed by the central and state governments. The selection of park locations was based on a challenge method considering land availability, connectivity, and infrastructure readiness.

      - The scheme is expected to attract an estimated ₹70,000 crore in private and foreign investment and generate nearly 20 lakh direct and indirect jobs. Each park is projected to bring in around ₹10,000 crore in investment and contribute to employment growth across the value chain, including spinning, weaving, dyeing, processing, and garmenting sectors. This will significantly boost India’s textile exports and manufacturing capacity.

      - Financial assistance from the central government includes capital support up to ₹500 crore for greenfield parks and up to ₹200 crore for brownfield parks. Each park will also be eligible for Competitiveness Incentive Support (CIS) of up to ₹300 crore to attract anchor investors. Facilities such as common effluent treatment plants, design labs, incubation centers, worker hostels, and logistics zones will be integrated to provide world-class industrial ecosystems.

Main Point :-   (i) The parks are aligned with India’s broader textile strategy, which targets $100 billion in textile exports by 2030. The initiative complements ongoing schemes like SAMARTH (Skill Development), SITP (Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks), PLI (Production Linked Incentive) for textiles, and the National Technical Textiles Mission (NTTM). It also advances the government’s 5F vision—Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign.

      (ii) Examples of state-level implementation include the Uttar Pradesh park near Lucknow, spread over 1,000 acres with projections of ₹10,000 crore investment and creation of up to 3 lakh jobs. In Madhya Pradesh, the Dhar park is allotted 1,550 acres with investment proposals of up to ₹15,000 crore.

(iii) These parks are envisioned as global manufacturing hubs, incorporating sustainable energy use, high environmental standards, and integrated logistics networks to meet international compliance and market demands.
