Gujarat Govt., Centre Sign MoU For PM MITRA Textile Park In Navsari
The Gujarat government and the Centre signed a memorandum of understanding on July 13, 2023, to establish the PM MITRA textile park in Navsari district. Covering a vast 1,141 acres of land in Vansi-Borsi village, this ambitious project aims to foster a circular economy in the region.
The PM Mega Integrated Textile Regions and Apparel (PM MITRA) Park holds immense promise for the textile industry. It was brought to fruition through a memorandum of understanding signed in the presence of Chief Minister of Gujarat, Bhupendra Patel, and Union Commerce and Industry Minister, Piyush Goyal.
This mega-integrated apparel park aims to not only boost the textile industry in Gujarat but also generate new employment opportunities throughout the state, including South Gujarat. The park will facilitate the integration of the entire textile value chain, from cotton to thread, thread to garment manufacturing, and finished garment sales and exports, all within a single location. This integration aligns with the Prime Minister’s vision of ‘Farm to Fiber to Factory to Fashion to Foreign’ (the 5F vision). Furthermore, these parks will contribute to India’s achievement of the United Nations’ 9 Sustainable Development Goals.
Addressing the program, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said, “This PM MITRA Textile Park is not a recent idea but has its roots back when PM Modi served as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. Recognizing the challenges posed by fragmented processes spread across different locations, the cost of our products remained high, and we struggled to compete in the global market. PM Modi envisioned a new approach in the textile sector that would focus on quality, global competitiveness, and promoting large-scale production.”
This textile park is set to revolutionize the industry, providing a conducive environment for growth, innovation, and sustainable practices. With the combined efforts of the Gujarat government and the Centre, the PM MITRA textile park in Navsari is poised to become a game-changer for the textile sector.
