PM MITRA Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel Parks

PM MITRA establishes seven world class integrated textile parks across India to bring the entire textile value chain, from spinning and weaving to processing, garmenting and technical textiles, into a single location with shared infrastructure. The aim is to give Indian textile manufacturers access to the kind of integrated scale that is standard practice in competitor countries.

Each park is built around shared services that individual units would struggle to invest in on their own, common effluent treatment plant, captive power, training centres, worker housing, plug and play factory sheds and common testing laboratories. This shared infrastructure is the core proposition of PM MITRA.

Each PM MITRA park is owned and operated by a Special Purpose Vehicle. The SPV's shareholders are the central government, the state government and the Master Developer, with shareholding patterns notified in the park concession agreement.

The Master Developer is selected through a competitive bidding process led by the state and approved by the Ministry of Textiles. The Master Developer brings construction capability and operational expertise, and is paid through a combination of plot sale receipts, common facility charges and a defined return on equity over the concession period.

Manufacturers evaluating a PM MITRA park should look at four parameters, the master plan and stage of development, the timeline of common facilities such as CETP and captive power, the Competitiveness Incentive Support window for early movers, and the lease terms including land rent, plot size and minimum investment commitment.

Early movers in each park are eligible for Competitiveness Incentive Support of up to Rs 300 crore for the park as a whole, distributed across qualifying units based on investment and commercial production start date. This incentive is the most powerful argument for being in the first wave of units rather than waiting for the park to stabilise.
