Prime Minister Narendra Modi will perform the Bhoomi Pujan for Madhya Pradesh’s first PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM Mitra) Park on August 25, marking a major step towards boosting the textile sector in the state. The park will be developed in the Malwa region, which is set to become a new industrial hub.
Boost to Textile Industry
The PM Mitra Park aims to attract large-scale investment in the textile and apparel sector, providing integrated facilities for spinning, weaving, processing, dyeing, printing, and garment manufacturing. Officials expect the project to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs, benefiting local artisans, small entrepreneurs, and large industrial players.
Strategic Location in Malwa Region
Located in a region with a strong cotton-growing base, the park is expected to strengthen the textile value chain by reducing transportation costs and improving export competitiveness. The Malwa region’s connectivity to major highways and rail networks will further facilitate smooth movement of raw materials and finished products.
Opportunities for Local Communities
The project is being hailed as a game-changer for farmers, traders, and youth in the region. Cotton growers will have easier access to processing facilities, while the availability of skilled and semi-skilled jobs will encourage local employment and reduce migration to other states.
Part of National Vision
The PM Mitra Parks scheme, launched by the central government, aims to set up world-class industrial parks across the country to boost the ‘Make in India’ initiative and position India as a global leader in textiles. Madhya Pradesh’s inclusion is expected to strengthen its role in the national textile supply chain.
Government’s Commitment
State officials have assured speedy land acquisition, infrastructure development, and investor facilitation to ensure timely execution of the project. The park will also integrate environmental sustainability measures, including modern effluent treatment systems and renewable energy use.
