## ANSWER

## वस्त्र राज्  य मंत्री ( श्री पबित्र मार्घेररटा ) THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR TEXTILES (SHRI PABITRA MARGHERITA)

(a): 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. Once  completed,  it  is  expected  that  each  PM  MITRA  Park  will  generate  3  lakh  (direct/indirect) employment opportunities.

Post approval of sites received by the Government, the selected States/SPVs have started a series of  activities  on  ground  including  provision  of  road,  water  and  power,  infrastructure  till  the  park gate, preparation of sites and other related infrastructure. Environmental Clearance have been obtained for PM MITRA sites  in  Gujarat,  Uttar  Pradesh,  Tamil  Nadu,  Maharashtra  and  Telangana.  In  respect  of  PM MITRA Park at Amravati Maharashtra, tender of infrastructure development for Rs. 111 crore has been finalized and work order issued. The foundation stone of the PM MITRA Park Amravati Maharashtra was laid by the Hon'ble Prime Minister in September 2024. In-principle approval has been accorded to the proposal of the Government of Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh for implementation of PM MITRA Parks by the Government of Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh through their implementing agencies.

(b): The scheme envisages a Development Capital Support (DCS) of 30% of total project cost upto Rs. 500 crore for Greenfield Park and Rs. 200 crore for  Brownfield Park subject to scheme guidelines. The scheme also envisages a Competitive Incentive Support (CIS) of upto Rs. 300 crore per park as an incentive  to  manufacturing  units  to  set  up  early  in  the  park.  The  incentive  is  subject  to  fulfilment  of conditions as outlined in detailed scheme guidelines.

- (c): In order to effectively implement the PM MITRA Scheme, MoUs as well as JV agreements have been  signed  between  Government  of  India  and  PM  MITRA  States.  Special  Purpose  Vehicles  (SPVs) have been incorporated in all Greenfield PM MITRA Parks with State Governments' holding 51% stake in the SPV and remaining 49% being held by the Government of India.

To encourage private sector participation in the scheme, a Master Developer (MD) led model for developing  PM  MITRA  Park  on  a  Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Transfer  (DBFOT)  basis  has  been envisaged in addition to other models of development.
