In a major boost to India’s textile industry, the Central Government has approved a Rs 2,100‑crore investment to establish the country’s first PM MITRA (Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel) Park in Madhya Pradesh.
To be developed under the leadership of the Ministry of Textiles, the park will span 2,100 acre in the Dhar District. Designed to set a new standard for integrated textile infrastructure,the park will boast of a 20‑MLD zero‑liquid‑discharge system, a solar power plant, plug‑and‑play (build‑to‑suit) units, and on‑site housing for workers. It is slated for completion within 14 months.
The government has already received expressions of interest totaling Rs 10,000 crore from potential investors for the project. Dr Mohan Yadav, Chief Minister, Madhya Pradesh, calls the park a ‘visionary initiative’ that will transform the state’s textile landscape and generate significant employment. The state aims to create 25,000 jobs through 21 dedicated units within the PM MITRA Park.
The initiative aligns with Prime Minister Modi’s ‘5F Vision’—Farm to Fiber to Factory to Fashion to Foreign—which seeks to streamline the entire textile value chain and bolster India’s export potential.
Developed under a special‑purpose vehicle (SPV) model, the Central Government will hold 49 per cent equity while the state government holds 51 per centin the project. Around 1,563 acre of the project will be developed by the Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC)..
The park is expected to spur growth in weaving, knitting, and textile machinery manufacturing across key regions such as Bhopal, Chhindwara, the Nimar Belt, Burhanpur, and Jabalpur. Over the past two decades, Madhya Pradesh’s garment‑manufacturing units have grown from 11 in 2003 to 60 today, cementing its status as a textile investment hotspot.
With a total government commitment of Rs 4,445 crore for PM MITRA Parks nationwide through 2027–28, this project marks a landmark step toward positioning India as a global textile powerhouse.
