Following the success of the apparel park in Pithampur, the Madhya Pradesh Government plans to set up a textile park under the PM Mitra scheme in the Malwa region. The park will be a key feature at the upcoming Global Investors Summit (GIS) 2025 in Bhopal.
Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 5F vision, PM Mitra Parks are being developed at seven locations across India through special purpose vehicles (SPVs). These Greenfield textile parks will receive Central Government support of Rs 500 crore.
The Madhya Pradesh Government will showcase this park at the GIS, aiming to attract industries to establish operations. The park will provide comprehensive facilities, from design to dyeing, for investors. A dedicated textile expo will be organized at the GIS to attract investors in the textile sector, as per a government official.
Approved by the Government of India in March 2023, the park will be located in Bhensola village of Badnawar tehsil in Dhar district. It will be developed as per a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the Ministry of Textiles and the Madhya Pradesh Government on May 21, 2023.
Madhya Pradesh is a significant producer of high-quality cotton, yielding 317,000 metric tons, which accounts for 24 per cent of the world’s non-GMO organic cotton and 47 per cent of India’s non-GMO organic cotton. Additionally, the state is the sole producer of extra-long staple (ELS) cotton in India.
In a high-level meeting last June, the Chief Minister emphasized the need to expedite the Rs 500 crore project approved by the Textile Ministry for the Integrated Textile and Apparel Park in Dhar district. He urged agencies to work swiftly to create 25,000 jobs through 21 units in the PM Mega Textile Park. The government has allocated Rs 4,445 crore for these parks up to 2027-28.
