and operationalises the Government of India’s 5F vision - Farm
to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign. Inaugurating the proj
ect, Prime Minister said that the PM Mitra Park in Warangal, will
accelerate the textile revolution in our country, creating large
scale employment opportunities especially for the women.
Strategically located near the proposed Nagpur-Vijayawada
Greenfield Expressway (NH-163G) and in proximity to NH-163,
the park offers excellent multimodal connectivity to major
railway networks and seaports, ensuring seamless logistics for
global trade. Designed as a world-class industrial ecosystem, the
park is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure including an
extensive internal road network, dedicated power substation and
assured water supply. It also emphasises sustainable
development through a Common Effluent Treatment Plant with
Zero Liquid Discharge technology.
The Park is poised to become a key driver of India’s textile
growth story with over Rs. 6,000crores in expected investment
and significant progress already underway with 62% of the park
already allotted. Spread across 1,327 acres, the park is set to
generate large-scale opportunities across the textile value chain,
with over 24,400 jobs expected and thousands already created.
The Ministry of Textiles, Government of India approved the
establishment of seven PM MITRA parks in the states of
Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh,
Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh in March 2023 to give a fillip to a
national eco-system for textile infrastructure in the country.
The Government of Telangana had proposed the selection the
Kakatiya Mega Textile Park (KMTP) at Warangal for approval as
one of the seven sites under the PM MITRA Scheme with a view
to expanding the infrastructure and facilitation for grounding of
industries in the park, in March 2022. On approval under the PM
MITRA scheme under the Brownfield category, KMTP became
eligible for a development capital support of Rs 200 crores and a
Competitive Incentive Support (CIS) of Rs 300 crores for
industries being set up in the park.
The Detailed Project Report for the PM MITRA Park, Warangal
incorporating expanded common infrastructure facilities like
upgradation of the CETP to a Zero Liquid Discharge Facility,
Common boiler facility for processing units, expansion of worker
dormitories, a 10 MW solar power plant, etc. was approved with
a total project cost of Rs 1695.54 Cr. Out of the total 548 acres allotted to industry in the park, 310
acres have been allotted to industry after the announcement of
the PM MITRA Park. Industries being set up in the park will not
only have access to world class infrastructure facilities for the
textile sector (benchmarked against textile mega parks globally)
but are also to receive Competitive Incentive Support (CIS) under
the PM MITRA scheme. Manufacturing units become eligible for
incentive support for which total fund of Rs Rs. 300 crore for
each park, thereby making these parks more attractive to
investors.
Units in the PM MITRA parks are also eligible for benefits in
convergence with other Government of India schemes. Notably,
the Ministry of Textiles has focused heavily on attracting fresh
investment through the PLI scheme for the textiles sector. As an
example of this convergence, one of the units in PM MITRA Park
Warangal, Evertop Textile and Apparel Complex Pvt. Ltd. is also
a beneficiary of the PLI scheme. The Company is expected to
generate employment of around 12,800 persons with the
proposed investment of Rs 1051 cores and an estimated annual
turnover of Rs 1990 crores.
The PM MITRA Park scheme not only brings central government
funding in the form of VGF but also improves investor
confidence, modern shared infrastructure, and integration into
India’s national textile strategy — all of which significantly
amplify the initiative undertaken to set up a textile park by the
Government of Telangana. Being a PM MITRA Park effectively
elevates KMTP from a state industrial park into a nationally
prioritized, globally positioned textile ecosystem.
