190.44 acres of industrial land were allotted to 23 investors on Friday by the Board of Directors of PM MITRA Park Tamil Nadu, unlocking committed investments of nearly ₹2,192.21 cr. with a potential for generating 15,000 jobs. The approved investments span various segments including integrated plants, yarn manufacturing, fabric production, processing and finishing, garment manufacturing and technical textiles.

The land allotment decisions were taken in the 9th Meeting of the Board of Directors of PM MITRA Park, Tamil Nadu Ltd. (SPV) held on 27 February 2026 under the chairpersonship of Smt. Neelam Shami Rao, Secretary, Ministry of Textiles.. The meeting was attended by Shri Rohit Kansal, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Textiles; Shri Arun Roy Vijayakrishnan, Secretary, Industries, Investment Promotion & Commerce Department, Government of Tamil Nadu; Shri Senthil Raj Krishnan, MD, SIPCOT, Tamil Nadu along with representatives from NICDC, Ministry of Textiles and SIPCOT.

The Board noted that the investor interest in the Park signals strong industry confidence in the Park’s design, governance structure and long-term competitiveness. It also noted that allotment of land in the PM MITRA Park at Virudhnagar in Tamil Nadu would accelerate the process of establishment of an integrated value chain of yarn, fabric and garment production in the region which is already a major manufacturer and exporter of textiles and apparel. In addition, the 20 MLD ZLD at the PM MITRA Park would enable clean and sustainable processing facilities to a number of processing units including small and medium sized units.

The PM MITRA Park at Virudhnagar is one of the 7 mega Parks being set up under the PM MITRA scheme. The Park is being constructed at a cost of Rs. 1894 cr. and includes provisions for a 15 MLD CETP with ZLD, a 20 MW solar power plant, centralised steam boilers besides nearly 13 lakh sq ft. ready to move plug and play units. Located right on the National Highway NH 44 and just 106 km away from Tuticorin port, it offers excellent connectivity and logistics and a mature textile ecosystem. Nearly Rs. 550 cr. of infrastructure works are already under execution in and around the Park site and the Park is targeted to be completed by December 2027.

The Board noted the development works in progress and reaffirmed the commitment to transparent, policy-aligned and ecosystem-driven development of PM MITRA Park, Tamil Nadu, aimed at strengthening India’s integrated textile value chain and enhancing global competitiveness.
