The Parliament was informed that the Centre has approved the establishment of seven PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Parks with an outlay of Rs.. 4,445 crores for a period of seven years up to 2027–2028. The parks will be located in greenfield and brownfield sites and feature world-class infrastructure, including plug and play facilities.

The Government has selected seven locations for PM MITRA Parks – Tamil Nadu (Virudhnagar), Telangana (Warangal), Gujarat (Navsari), Karnataka (Kalaburagi), Madhya Pradesh (Dhar), Uttar Pradesh (Lucknow), and Maharashtra (Amravati), according to Minister of State for Textiles Pabitra Margherita’s statement to the Rajya Sabha. He continued, “Once completed, each park is expected to result in an investment (both domestic and foreign) of roughly Rs. 10,000 crore, benefiting the local economy and textile ecosystem.”

According to the Minister, Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) have been created for each of the five greenfield sites located in Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. The current implementation plans for the brownfield sites in Telangana and Maharashtra have been permitted to continue in accordance with rules.

According to him, the PM MITRA Park Scheme provides Development Capital Support (DCS) for the construction of core infrastructure at a rate of thirty percent of the project cost for both greenfield and brownfield projects. The maximum support amount for each park is Rs. 500 crore for brownfield PM MITRA Parks and Rs. 200 crore for greenfield PM MITRA Parks, from the Centre.

The Minister further stated that PM-MITRA offers Competitive Incentive Support to individual units, up to a maximum of Rs. 300 crore per park and further subject to Scheme parameters, in order to encourage manufacturing firms to establish themselves in PM MITRA Parks as soon as possible.

The projects are being carried out under the supervision of the Union Ministry of Textiles. For each park, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) controlled by the Centre and State Governments is being established to supervise the project’s execution. The Indian textile market is valued at approximately Rs. 12 lakh crore.
