Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi today laid the foundation stone of a PM Mega Integrated Textile Regions and Apparel (PM MITRA) Park at Amravati in Maharashtra.

The 1000-acre park is being developed by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) as the state implementation agency.

The government had earlier approved setting up of 7 PM MITRA Parks for the textile industry. These parks are a major step forward in realising the vision of making India a global hub for textile manufacturing and exports.

The textile sector has immense industrial possibilities in Maharashtra, he emphasized, pointing out that the Vidarbha region has been a big centre for quality cotton production. However, successive governments had pushed cotton farmers into misery due to petty politics and corruption, he was cited as saying in an official release.

The vision included a complete cycle of farm to fibre, fibre to fabric, fabric to fashion and fashion to foreign, he said.

New supply chains would be created to help the country's exports leading to an increase in income, he said.

Maharashtra is gearing up for the modern infrastructure and connectivity needed for industrial progress, he added.
