What is the PM MITRA Park Scheme?

PM MITRA stands for “Pradhan Mantri Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel Parks”. It is a central government program which will be managed by the Ministry of Textiles that seeks to develop world-class textile parks across India. These parks are designed to house the entire textile manufacturing process which involves raw material processing to finished garments within one integrated industrial ecosystem. 

Each PM MITRA Park will be bringing together key stages of textile production such as spinning, weaving, processing, dyeing, printing, garmenting, and finishing all in one place. The main idea behind is to cut down the costs, improve production efficiency, and enhance global competitiveness. 

The concept aligns with the government’s “5F Vision” — Farm to Fibre, Fibre to Factory, Factory to Fashion, Fashion to Foreign which shows a holistic approach to strengthen India’s textile ecosystem.

Farm → Fibre → Factory → Fashion → Foreign

This approach integrates the entire value chain of the textile industry.”
