India’s first PM Mega Integrated Textile Regions and Apparel (PM MITRA) Park at E. Kumaralingapuram in Tamil Nadu’s Virudhunagar district has been launched.
Spread over 1052 acres, the park is to come up at a cost of Rs. 2,000 crore and will enable job creation for nearly two lakh people.
MK Stalin, Chief Minister, Tamil Nadu and Piyush Goyal, Union Textiles Minister jointly launched the park and signed an MoU between the State and the Centre.
It will have an integrated value chain; specialised manufacturing zones; social infrastructure; plug-and-play specialised facilities and commercial zones, and common amenities.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted that today is a very special day for my sisters and brothers of Tamil Nadu. The aspirational district of Virudhunagar will be home to a PM MITRA mega textiles park. This will boost the local economy and will prove to be beneficial for the youngsters of the state.
Piyush Goyal said the parks were based on the Prime Minister’s 5F vision — Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign.
MK Stalin said that the park at Virudhunagar would help develop the southern districts. The State government in the Budget announced plans to develop a large textiles park at Salem, and ten small handloom parks across the State.
