The textile ministry also plans to set up a Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (MITRA) Park, spread over 1,000 acres with state-of-the-art infrastructure, common utilities and Research and Development (R&D) lab. The government has also approved production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for 10 key sectors including textile and automobiles which would help India become self-reliant, boost manufacturing and enhance exports. The scheme takes the total government outlay for such incentives to nearly Rs 2 lakh crore over a five-year period.
