The Indian Government is taking significant steps to modernize the textile sector through the establishment of integrated textile facilities under the Scheme for Integrated Textile Park (SITP). So far, approval has been granted for 50 textile parks nationwide, including 12 in Maharashtra, aimed at boosting investment, creating employment, and enhancing export competitiveness. Of these, 30 parks have been finalized, while the remaining 20 are at various stages of development, with total central grants amounting to Rs. 1,532 crore (~US$ 170 million).
To accelerate progress, the SITP has been merged into the Textile Cluster Development Scheme (TCDS), facilitating completion of ongoing projects. As part of the new initiative, the government has proposed seven PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Parks, located in Tamil Nadu (Virudhnagar), Telangana (Warangal), Gujarat (Navsari), Karnataka (Kalaburagi), Uttar Pradesh (Lucknow), Madhya Pradesh (Dhar), and Maharashtra (Amravati).
The total projected investment for these parks is Rs. 4,445 crore (~US$ 494.45 million) through 2027–28. Each park is expected to generate approximately 3 lakh direct and indirect jobs, significantly enhancing domestic production and export capacity.
Under the Development Capital Support component, Rs. 50 crore (~US$ 6 million) each has been sanctioned for Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh, while Maharashtra and Telangana have received Rs. 30 crore (~US$ 3.6 million) each. The initiative has already attracted substantial interest, with domestic and international companies expressing investment plans totaling Rs. 42,491 crore (~US$ 4.74 billion).
Summary: The PM MITRA Parks initiative aims to create 3 lakh jobs per park, modernize the textile sector, attract over Rs. 42,000 crore in investments, and strengthen both domestic production and export performance across seven states.
