The central government has named the Madhya
Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation
(MPIDC) as the master developer for its upcoming Prime
Minister Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel
Park in Madhya Pradesh’s Dhar district.
“Our goal is to transform PM MITRA Park into a cuttingedge
centre that supports the textile sector and generates
employment for residents,” said the MPIDC’s executive
director Rajesh Rathod, Apparel Resources reported. The
upcoming PM MITRA Park is located in Bhainsola
village on a land parcel measuring approximately 1,563
acres. Following the appointment, the Madhya Pradesh
Industrial Development Corporation will oversee the PM
MITRA Park’s master planning and design during
construction as well as its management and upkeep upon
completion. The creation of the facility represents a
significant step in the government’s plan to launch seven
large scale textile hubs across the country to increase
domestic textile production.
The construction of the Madhya Pradesh PM MITRA
Park has already begun and road construction, water
supply, and electricity supply work is currently under
way. The project is being undertaken through a Special
Purpose Vehicle which sees the central government
control a 49% stake and the Madhya Pradesh state
government control a 51% stake. The facility will be a
hub for the textile and apparel industry and will also
include labs, training areas, and exhibition spaces.
