PM MITRA Parks Plan A Massive Boost to Textile Sector, Aiming for 3 Lakh Jobs Per Park​

The government has greenlit a major initiative to revolutionize the textile industry by setting up seven PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Parks. This ambitious project aims to create integrated, modern industrial infrastructure across both Greenfield and Brownfield sites nationwide. The scheme carries a significant outlay of ₹4,445 Crore for the period spanning 2021-22 to 2027-28.

These PM MITRA Parks are designed to support the entire value chain of the textile industry, helping modernize production capacity in targeted areas. Seven specific states have been finalized as host sites: Tamil Nadu (Virudhnagar), Telangana (Warangal), Gujarat (Navsari), Karnataka (Kalaburagi), Madhya Pradesh (Dhar), Uttar Pradesh (Lucknow), and Maharashtra (Amravati).

Project Scope and Employment Generation Potential​

The initiative is set to deliver transformative economic growth across the manufacturing landscape. Upon completion, each PM MITRA Park is projected to generate approximately 3 lakh employment opportunities. This includes 1 lakh direct jobs and 2 lakh indirect jobs, underscoring the immense job creation potential of the scheme.

Progress on Land Acquisition and Investment Commitments​

Significant strides have been made in realizing this large-scale infrastructure vision. Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) have been signed with all targeted states. Furthermore, 100% land acquisition has been successfully completed for all seven selected sites. Environmental Clearances have also been secured for every PM MITRA Park.

The industrial development momentum is strong, with Joint Venture Agreements already executed and Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) incorporated for the five Greenfield locations. The total Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for all seven states stand at ₹13,537 crore. So far, investment interests amounting to ₹68,590 crore have been secured by the PM MITRA States.

State-Wise Status of PM MITRA Park Development​

The project maintains a dual focus, balancing Greenfield expansion with revitalization through Brownfield sites. The states demonstrate varying levels of progress in terms of land availability and infrastructure work completed.

Madhya Pradesh's Greenfield park has already accrued substantial investment interest amounting to ₹19,846 crore. The state has committed 2,158 acres for this project.

Tamil Nadu and Gujarat are also among the key Greenfield sites. Tamil Nadu secured an investment interest of ₹2,067.90 crore on 1,052 acres. Gujarat, with a land area of 1,000 acres, has garnered an investment interest exceeding ₹13,094 crore.

Uttar Pradesh's designated Greenfield park has attracted an investment interest of ₹5,354 crore and occupies 1,000 acres. The state is actively progressing, with 23 units of internal infrastructure work completed.

Focus on Brownfield Revitalization​

The initiative includes critical efforts in rejuvenating existing industrial ecosystems through Brownfield parks. Telangana, a designated Brownfield site, has secured an investment interest of ₹3,800 crore on 1,020 acres. This park is seeing substantial progress with 300 units of internal infrastructure work completed.

Similarly, Maharashtra's Brownfield Park has attracted an investment interest totaling ₹12,000 crore across 1,327 acres. This comprehensive data set provides a clear snapshot of the steady and diversified growth momentum underpinning this nation-wide textile initiative.
