India’s Textile Growth Gets a Boost as PM Modi Opens First PM MITRA Park

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated India’s first functional PM MITRA Park in Warangal, Telangana, on May 10, 2026. Built at a cost of ₹1,695.54 crore, the park is expected to attract over ₹6,000 crore in investments and generate more than 24,400 jobs, marking a historic milestone in India’s textile growth journey.

A PM MITRA Park (Prime Minister Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel Park) is a government-backed initiative to create world-class, integrated textile manufacturing hubs across India. These parks bring the entire textile value chain — from raw cotton to finished garments and exports — under one ecosystem, aligned with the 5F vision: Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign.
