(a) to (e): 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 including one Brownfield project Amravati in Maharashtra.

These  parks  are  envisaged  to  reduce  logistics  costs  and  improve  competitiveness  of  Indian Textiles.  The  PM  MITRA  scheme  will  help  India  in  attracting  investments,  boosting  employment generation and position itself strongly in the global textile market. These parks are being set up at sites which have inherent strength for Textile Industry to flourish and have necessary linkages to succeed.

Post  signing  of  MoU  between  Govt  of  India  and  Govt  of  Maharashtra,  Maharashtra  Industrial Development  Corporation  (MIDC)  has  been  appointed  as  implementing  agency.  The  implementing agency  has  finalized  the  layout  plan  and  obtained  the  necessary  clearances  including  environmental clearance.   The foundation stone of the park was laid by the Hon'ble Prime Minister in September 2024. The tender for infrastructure development works for Rs. 111 crore has been finalized and work order issued. Project Approval Committee (PAC) headed by Secretary (Textiles) reviews the progress of the park from time to time in order to expedite progress and eliminate delays.

So far, investment MoUs with an expected investment potential of  over Rs. 18,500 crore have been signed under the PM MITRA Park scheme  including MoUs worth Rs. 1,370 crore for PM MITRA Park Amrawati.  These investment proposals span various segments of textile value chain e.g. Polyster, cotton spinning yarn, Plastic Masterbatches, Cotton yarn/denim fabrics, terry towel, spinning and yarn.

Ministry  has organised  a number  of  investor  meetings  and  stakeholder  consultations  at international, national and state levels in order to attract businesses and investors. The Government of Maharashtra  has  also  signed  an  MoU  with  Vidarbha  Industrial  Association  for  facilitating  investor interactions for PM MITRA Park Amravati.
