## (SHRI PABITRA MARGHERITA)

(a) to (h): With a view to  develop integrated large scale and modern industrial infrastructure facility for 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 scheme outlay of Rs. 4,445 crore for the period 2021-22 to 2027-28. It is expected that each PM MITRA Park when completed, would generate 3 lakh (both direct/indirect) jobs.

All  States  including  Maharashtra  and  Uttar  Pradesh  were  requested  to  submit  proposal(s)  for setting  up  of  PM  MITRA  Park  in  respective  States.  In  response,  18  proposals  from  13  State Governments including two from Maharashtra (Aurangabad and Amrawati) and one from Uttar Pradesh (Lucknow)  were  received.  The  Government  has  finalised  7  sites  including  one  each  in  Amravati Maharashtra and Lucknow Uttar Pradesh for setting up PM MITRA Parks.

PM MITRA Park will offer the opportunity to create an Integrated Textiles Value Chain right from spinning, weaving, processing, and printing to garment manufacturing, accessories makers at one location  reducing  logistics  &  transaction  cost.    Man-made  Fibre  (MMF)  and  Technical  Textiles  are expected to be an important component of new investments in these parks. No proposal for setting up of Technical Textile Park in Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh is pending in the Ministry.

The  Ministry  is  also  implementing  (SAMARTH)-  Scheme  for  Capacity  Building  in  Textile Sector  (SCBTS),  with  the  objective  to  provide  demand  driven,  placement  oriented  National  Skill Qualification  Framework  (NSQF)  compliant  skilling  programmes  to  incentivize  and  supplement  the efforts  to  the  industry  in  creating  jobs  in  the  organized  textile  (excluding  spinning  &  weaving)  and related sectors and to provide skilling and skill-upgradation in the traditional sectors. As on 03.02.2025, a total of 3,57,949 beneficiaries have been trained (passed) and 2,86,206 beneficiaries have been placed under 'SAMARTH'.

In  addition,  the  Ministry  of  Textiles  is  implementing  various  schemes/initiatives  across  the country to promote the textiles sector. The major schemes/initiatives include National Technical Textiles Mission  (NTTM)  which  was  launched  with  a  view  to  boost  technical  textiles  sector  in  the  country, ATUFS to incentivize technology upgradation and modernization through capital investment subsidy for eligible investment in benchmarked textile machinery; Silk Samagra-2 for comprehensive development of sericulture value chain ; National Handloom Development Program (NHDP) and National Handicraft Development Program (NHDP) for end to end support for handloom and handicraft sectors etc.

Maharashtra Integrated and Sustainable Textile Policy 2023-28 provides significant incentives for the establishment of Technical Textiles Parks which includes capital subsidy, support for establishment of  ETPs,  CETPs,  ZLDs,  and  Solar  Plants.  The  policy  also  encourages  setting  up  of  common  facility centers and promotion of R&D activities.

As  per  this  policy,  Government  of  Maharashtra  has  introduced  a  range  of  incentives  for  the establishment of six technical textiles parks across Maharashtra, with  equal subsidy support across all zones.

As  per  Uttar  Pradesh  Textile  and  Garmenting  Policy  2017  &  2022,  State  Government  is providing additional incentives to the units located in Poorvanchal region of the State.
