Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated India’s first fully functional PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Park in Warangal, Telangana, on May 10, 2026, according to the Textiles Ministry and official government communications. The Kakatiya Mega Textile Park, developed at a cost of ₹1,695.54 crore, is being positioned as a key engine of jobs, exports and “Made in India” growth in the textile sector.
The Warangal PM MITRA Park is the first of seven PM MITRA textile parks approved by the Union government, with the others still in development phases. The project has been set up as a “greenfield” integrated industrial cluster spread over 1,327 acres in Warangal district, of which about 866.84 acres are earmarked for industrial use.
According to the Textiles Ministry, over 62 per cent of the park’s land has already been allotted to anchor investors, signalling strong early traction in investor commitments. The ministry has stated that the park is expected to draw investments exceeding ₹6,000 crore, with around ₹3,800–3,862 crore already committed or “grounded” from various textile firms.
Officials say the Warangal PM MITRA Park is projected to generate about 24,400 direct jobs, with thousands of positions already created during the construction and initial setup phase. The park is designed to cover the full textile value chain, from spinning and weaving to processing, garmenting and technical textiles, enabling economies of scale and plug‑and‑play infrastructure for investors.
By creating a dedicated mega‑cluster, the government aims to enhance India’s competitiveness in global textile markets, reduce logistics costs and consolidate fragmented manufacturing units into a single, integrated zone. The park in Warangal is also expected to strengthen the dominant position of Telangana and the surrounding region in cotton‑based and technical‑textile manufacturing.
Globally, the project is being framed as part of India’s broader push to capture a larger share of the apparel and made‑ups export market, with the PM MITRA scheme envisaging that each park, once fully operational, can attract around ₹10,000 crore in investments and generate roughly 1 lakh direct and 2 lakh indirect jobs when all seven are completed.
