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.

Besides, Rs 300 crore of Competitiveness Incentive Support (CIS) will be provided to each park for early establishment of textiles manufacturing units.

For a Greenfield PM MITRA park, the Centre’s DCS will be 30% of the project cost, with a cap of Rs 500 crore for Brownfield sites. The Centre will also provide a fund of ₹ 300 crore for each each park to incentivise manufacturing units to get established.
