These parks are inspired by the ‘5F’ vision (Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign) and aim to develop a complete textile value chain, from spinning to garmenting, with modern infrastructure and facilities. The seven selected locations are in Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra.

The PM MITRA Park scheme provides for the development of core infrastructure, including developed factory sites, plug-and-play facilities, incubation centres, roads, power, water and wastewater systems, as well as support infrastructure, including CETPs, workers’ hostels & housing, logistics parks, warehousing, medical facilities, and training & skill development facilities. Further, up to 10% of the park area may be utilized for commercial development, including shops & offices, shopping malls, hotels and convention centers.

At present, Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) have been signed with all States and 100% land has been acquired for all the sites. Environmental Clearances have been received for all PM MITRA Parks. Joint Venture Agreements have been signed and SPVs incorporated for all 5 greenfield sites. DPRs amounting to ₹13,537 crore have been finalized for all 7 States. Investment interests amounting to ₹68,590 crore have been received so far by the PM MITRA States. External infrastructure works amounting to ₹2,736 crore are under development, against which ₹797.30 crore has been expended so far. Internal infrastructure works for development of core infrastructure amounting to ₹1,720 crore have commenced across all States, against which ₹524 crore has been expended so far.

(c): The Ministry received 18 proposals from 13 states for setting up Parks under the scheme. 7 sites were selected out of which 5 are under the Greenfield category and 2 fall under the brownfield category. In Budget 2026-27, the new scheme for establishment of Mega Textile Parks is announced.

The Government will request all State Governments to submit proposals in due course. ****
