New Delhi/Bhubaneswar: In order to position India on the global textiles map, the Centre on Wednesday approved 7 Prime Minister’s Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) parks. Several states including Odisha have evinced interest in setting up the park.

The PM MITRA parks will be set up with a total outlay of Rs 4,445 crore over a period of 5 years. The mega textile and apparel parks will come up at Greenfield/Brownfield sites in different states.
