With a view to develop integrated large scale and modern industrial infrastructure facility for the entire value-chain of the textile industry, the Government has approved setting up of 7 (Seven) PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Parks in Greenfield/Brownfield sites with a scheme outlay of Rs. 4,445 crore for the period 2021-22 to 2027-28. The Government has finalised 7 sites viz. Tamil Nadu (Virudhnagar), Telangana (Warangal), Gujarat (Navsari), Karnataka (Kalaburagi), Madhya Pradesh (Dhar), Uttar Pradesh (Lucknow) and Maharashtra (Amravati) for setting up PM MITRA Parks. PM MITRA Parks will offer the opportunity of creating an Integrated Textiles Value Chain right from spinning, weaving, processing, and printing to garment manufacturing with the 5F vision i.e. Farm to Fibre; Fibre to Factory; Factory to Fashion; Fashion to Foreign.

Once completed, it is expected that each PM MITRA Park will generate 3 lakh (direct/indirect) employment across all elements of the textile value chain including spinning, weaving, processing, printing, garment and accessories manufacturing.
