Prime Minister Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM Mitra) scheme will establish seven textile parks across India.
The parks aim to create three lakh jobs each and boost exports and investments in the textile sector.
Selected locations are Virudhnagar in Tamil Nadu, Navsari in Gujarat, Kalaburagi in Karnataka, Dhar in Madhya Pradesh, Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, Warangal in Telangana and Amravati in Maharashtra.
Five parks are the Greenfield projects built on new, undeveloped land, and two are Brownfield projects on repurposed industrial land.
Each park will include the research centres, testing labs and training hubs to upgrade worker skills in modern textile practices.
The PM MITRA (Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel) Parks scheme was launched in October 2021.
