The government has approved setting up of 7 Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA पीएम मित्र) Parks with a total outlay
PM MITRA(पीएम मित्र) is inspired by the 5F vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister -Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign
With a view to realising the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi of building an Aatmanirbhar Bharat and to position India strongly on the Global textiles map, the Government has approved the setting up of 7 PM MITRA (पीएम मित्र) parks as announced in Union Budget for 2021-22.
PM MITRA (पीएम मित्र) is inspired by the 5F vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister. The ‘5F’ Formula encompasses – Farm to fibre; fibre to factory; factory to fashion; fashion to foreign. This integrated vision will help to further the growth of the textile sector in the economy. No other competing nation has a complete textile ecosystem like us. India is strong in all five Fs.
World-class industrial infrastructure would attract cutting age technology and boost FDI and local investment in the sector
The 7 Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel Parks (PM MITRA) (पीएम मित्र) will be set up at Greenfield / Brownfield sites located in different willing States. Proposals of State Governments having ready availability of contiguous and encumbrance-free land parcel of 1,000+ acres along with other textiles related facilities & ecosystem are welcome.
Maximum Development Capital Support (DCS) of ₹ 500 crores to all Greenfield PM MITRA and a maximum of ₹ 200 Crore to Brownfield PM MITRA (पीएम मित्र) will be provided for the development of Common Infrastructure (@30% of the Project Cost) and ₹ 300 Crore of Competitiveness Incentive Support (CIS) will also be provided to each PM MITRA (पीएम मित्र) park for early establishment of textiles manufacturing units in PM MITRA (पीएम मित्र). State Government supports will include the provision of 1,000 Acre land for the development of a world-class industrial estate.
PM MITRA(पीएम मित्र) will offer an opportunity to create an integrated textiles value chain right from spinning, weaving, processing/dyeing and printing to garment manufacturing at 1 location
For a Greenfield PM MITRA (पीएम मित्र) park, the GOI Development Capital Support will be 30% of the Project Cost, with a cap of ₹ 500 Cr. For Brownfield sites, after assessment, Development Capital Support @30% of project cost of balance infrastructure and other support facilities to be developed and restricted to a limit of Rs. 200 Crore. This is in a form of viability gap funding to make the project attractive for the participation of the private sector.
The PM MITRA (पीएम मित्र) parks will have the following:
- Core Infrastructure: Incubation Centre & Plug & Play facility, Developed Factory Sites, Roads, Power, Water and Waste Water system, Common Processing House & CETP and other related facilities e.g. Design Centre, Testing Centres etc.
- Support Infrastructure: Workers’ hostels & housing, logistics park, warehousing, medical, training & skill development facilities
Integrated Textile Value chain at 1 location will reduce logistics cost of Industry
PM MITRA (पीएम मित्र) will develop 50% Area for pure Manufacturing Activity, 20% area for utilities, and 10% of the area for commercial development. A schematic representation of the PM MITRA (पीएम मित्र) is illustrated below:
Key Components of Mega Integrated Textile Regions and Apparel Parks * indicates 5% area # indicates 10% area used for that purpose.
Intended to generate ~1 lakh direct and 2 lakh indirect employment per park
PM MITRA (पीएम मित्र) park will be developed by a Special Purpose Vehicle which will be owned by the State Government and Government of India in a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Mode. The Master Developer will not only develop the Industrial Park but also maintain it during the concession period. Selection of this Master Developer will happen based on objective criteria developed jointly by State and Central Governments.
SPV in which State Government has majority ownership will be entitled to receive part of the lease rental from developed industrial sites and will be able to use that for further expansion of the textiles industry in the area by expanding the PM MITRA (पीएम मित्र) Park, providing Skill Development initiatives and other Welfare measures for workers.
Several states such as Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Assam, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Telangana have expressed interest
Sites for PM MITRA(पीएम मित्र) will be selected by a Challenge Method based on objective criteria
The government of India will also provide a fund of ₹ 300 Crore for each PM MITRA (पीएम मित्र) Park to incentivize manufacturing units to get established. This will be known as Competitiveness Incentive Support (CIS) and will be paid upto 3% of the turnover of a newly established unit in PM MITRA (पीएम मित्र) Park. Such support is crucial for a new project under establishment that has not been able to break even and needs support till it is able to scale up production and be able to establish its viability.
Convergence with other Central Government and State Government Schemes is available as per their eligibility under the guidelines of those schemes. This will enhance the competitiveness of the textiles industry, by helping it in achieving economies of scale and will create huge job opportunities for millions of people. Leveraging Economies of Scale, the scheme will help Indian companies to emerge as Global Champions.
