The Indian Textiles Ministry recently announced the approval of a ₹18.94-billion (~$221.25-million) plan for setting up a Pradhan Mantri Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Park in Virudhunagar district in Tamil Nadu state.
The 1,052-acre site will house an advanced textile manufacturing complex focused on technical textiles and integrated processing units, the ministry announced on social media.
The project, formalised in 2023, is targeted for completion by September 2026, with the state government projecting ₹100 billion (~$1.17 billion) in investments and creation of 100,000 jobs.
Planned features in the complex include a common effluent treatment plant with zero liquid discharge, a sewage treatment plant, worker accommodation with 10,000 beds and 1.3 million square feet of plug-and-play and built-to-suit factory space.
It is one of the seven PM MITRA parks being developed nationwide under the centre’s flagships scheme aimed at catalysing the textile sector. The other six states to host PM MITRA parks are Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
