PM Mitra Park Will Strengthen Rapid Progress Of Maharashtra: Piyush Goyal

Union Minister of Textiles, Commerce & Industry, Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Piyush Goyal congratulated the state of Maharashtra for being awarded the prestigious Pradhan Mantri Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Park in Amravati.

While addressing the launch ceremony of PM MITRA Textile Park, Amravati, the Minister emphasized that the addition of PM MITRA Park would further strengthen the rapid progress of Maharashtra.

Goyal said that given Maharashtra’s significant contributions across the entire textile value chain, from Farm to Fiber to Factory to Fashion to Foreign, it is a natural choice for a textile park.

He further highlighted that the well-connected infrastructure of Amravati, including its road, rail, port, and airport networks, will significantly boost the textile industry in Maharashtra.

Darshana Jardosh, acknowledging India’s historical prowess as a textile hub, emphasized that the establishment of PM MITRA Parks in various states, including Amravati, Maharashtra, is a crucial step toward making India a global textiles manufacturing hub.

During the event, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC), Government of Maharashtra, and the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, for the establishment of PM MITRA Park.

The PM MITRA Textile Park in Amravati is expected to attract an investment of INR 10,000 crore and create both direct and indirect employment for approximately 3,00,000 individuals.

Spanning across a contiguous 1,020 acres of land at Nandgaon Peth, adjacent to the Additional Amravati Industrial Area (MIDC), the Park is situated just 30 kilometers away from the Mumbai Nagpur Samruddhi Highway and 147 kilometers from the nearest port, the Wardha Dry Port. As a brownfield park, it already possesses essential infrastructure such as roads, water, and electricity.
