Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated the country’s first operational PM MITRA Park at Warangal in Telangana, marking a major milestone in India’s push to build globally competitive textile manufacturing ecosystems and strengthen the country’s integrated textile value chain.
Developed at an estimated cost of ₹1,695.54 crore, the PM MITRA Park is expected to emerge as a major textile and apparel manufacturing hub, attracting investments of over ₹6,000 crore while generating more than 24,400 jobs across the sector.
PM MITRA vision takes shape
The inauguration operationalises the Centre’s ambitious 5F vision, Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign, aimed at building an integrated textile manufacturing ecosystem capable of competing with global textile hubs.
Addressing the gathering, Modi said the PM MITRA Park at Warangal would accelerate India’s textile revolution while creating large-scale employment opportunities, particularly for women.
The Warangal facility is the first among the seven PM MITRA parks announced by the Union Government in 2023 to become operational.
Strategic location strengthens export potential
The park has been strategically positioned near the proposed Nagpur–Vijayawada Greenfield Expressway (NH-163G) and close to NH-163, offering multimodal connectivity to railway networks and major seaports.
Industry observers believe the logistics advantage could significantly improve export competitiveness for textile manufacturers operating from the park.
Spread across 1,327 acres, the integrated textile ecosystem includes internal road infrastructure, dedicated power facilities, assured water supply systems and advanced sustainability infrastructure.
One of the key highlights of the project is the Common Effluent Treatment Plant equipped with Zero Liquid Discharge technology, reflecting the government’s increasing focus on environmentally sustainable industrial development.
The project also includes expanded worker dormitories, common boiler facilities for processing units and a proposed 10 MW solar power plant.
Strong investor interest emerges
The PM MITRA Park has already witnessed strong industry traction, with nearly 62 per cent of the park reportedly allotted to industries.
Out of the 548 acres allotted so far, 310 acres have been allocated after the PM MITRA announcement, indicating rising investor confidence following central government backing.
Manufacturing units established within the park will be eligible for Competitive Incentive Support (CIS) under the PM MITRA scheme, with a dedicated incentive pool of Rs 300 crore for each park.
The park is also expected to benefit from convergence with other central government schemes, including the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for textiles.
One of the major upcoming projects within the park is Evertop Textile and Apparel Complex Pvt. Ltd., which is also a beneficiary under the textile PLI scheme.
The company is expected to invest ₹1,051 crore in the project, generate employment for nearly 12,800 people and target an annual turnover of around ₹1,990 crore.
Telangana’s textile ambitions get a national boost
The Warangal PM MITRA Park builds upon Telangana’s earlier Kakatiya Mega Textile Park initiative, which was proposed under the PM MITRA framework in 2022.
Following approval under the brownfield category, the park became eligible for development capital support of Rs 200 crore along with industry-focused incentive support of Rs 300 crore.
Officials said the PM MITRA designation significantly elevates the project from being a state-led industrial cluster to becoming part of India’s national textile growth strategy with stronger investor confidence and enhanced infrastructure support.
India eyes integrated textile ecosystem
The Union Government has approved seven PM MITRA Parks across Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh as part of its long-term industrial strategy.
The parks are designed to create globally benchmarked textile infrastructure capable of attracting large-scale investments while integrating the entire textile value chain under one ecosystem.
