PM MITRA Parks Scheme

The PM Mega Integrated Textile Regions and Apparel Parks Scheme, approved in 2021, develops seven large textile manufacturing clusters rather than supporting dispersed units separately. Its cluster-based model co-locates the textile value chain, common infrastructure, workers, suppliers and logistics so that firms obtain economies of scale and lower transaction costs.

Integrated value-chain cluster

Each park is designed around the 5F vision: Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign. It brings spinning, weaving, processing, printing, garment production and related activities into one integrated industrial ecosystem.

• Production zones accommodate large anchor firms as well as MSMEs, enabling supplier linkages, subcontracting and knowledge spillovers.
• Plug-and-play facilities allow enterprises to begin production without separately developing all essential infrastructure.

Shared infrastructure and location

The parks are developed as greenfield or brownfield clusters on large, contiguous sites provided by participating states. Shared facilities spread infrastructure and compliance costs across many firms.

• Common infrastructure includes roads, reliable power and water, warehousing, testing facilities and logistics connectivity.
• Common processing facilities, including effluent treatment, support environmental compliance in water-intensive textile operations.
• Integration with transport networks reduces movement time between production stages and improves access to domestic and export markets.

Governance, investment and employment logic

A dedicated Special Purpose Vehicle involving the Union and state governments oversees each park, while development and operation may involve private participation. The scheme has a total approved outlay of Rs 4,445 crore, including support for core infrastructure and incentives to manufacturing units.

• Public support reduces the initial cost and risk of developing a large industrial ecosystem.
• Anchor investors generate demand for local suppliers, services, logistics and skilled labour.
• Clustering seeks to attract investment, improve textile competitiveness and create direct and indirect manufacturing employment.
