PM Modi to inaugurate Rs 1,695-crore textile park in Warangal on May 10

PM Modi to virtually inaugurate PM MITRA Kakatiya Mega Textile Park in Warangal on May 10. Project to generate 24,400 jobs, boost textile exports.

"The park is envisioned as a world-class integrated textile hub that will boost manufacturing, employment and exports. - G. Kishan Reddy"

New Delhi, May 2

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the PM MITRA Kakatiya Mega Textile Park in Warangal, Telangana on May 10, Union Coal and Mines Minister G. Kishan Reddy said on Saturday.

Taking to a microblogging platform X, the minister said the park, to be inaugurated virtually from Hyderabad, is envisioned as a world-class integrated textile hub that will boost manufacturing, employment and exports.

He further highlighted that the project has an estimated cost of Rs 1,695.54 crore, with expected investments exceeding Rs 6,000 crore, of which over Rs 3,800 crore has already been grounded.

Spread across 1,327 acres, the facility among the largest textile parks in the country and has been selected under the PM MITRA (Pradhan Mantri Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel) scheme as a brownfield project.

The park is aligned with the government's '5F' vision -- spanning farm to fibre, fibre to factory, factory to fashion and fashion to foreign -- aimed at strengthening the textile value chain.

According to the minister, about 62 per cent of the park area has already been allotted to anchor investors. Internal infrastructure such as roads, water supply and street lighting has been completed.

Moreover, major utilities are nearing completion, including a 232/132/33 KV power substation and a 220 KV transmission line.

A 12 MLD water supply system is in advanced stages, while Phase I of a 5 MLD common effluent treatment plant (CETP) with zero liquid discharge is under trial run.

The project expected to generate more than 24,400 jobs upon full operationalisation, with around 2,000 jobs already created, the minister said.

With its strategic location, plug-and-play facilities and integrated ecosystem, the Warangal textile park is set to become a major driver of textile manufacturing and employment in the country, the minister said.

He further stated that the initiative has reflected the government's push to strengthen industrial infrastructure and position India as a global textile hub.

Earlier in March, the government finalised the establishment of PM MITRA Parks at seven locations across the country, like Virudhunagar in Tamil Nadu, Warangal in Telangana, Navsari in Gujarat, Kalaburagi in Karnataka, Dhar in Madhya Pradesh, Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh and Amravati in Maharashtra.

In the Union Budget for 2026-27, the government announced a separate scheme for setting up mega textile parks under a 'challenge mode' framework.

Impressive scale—1,327 acres! The 5F vision makes sense, but execution will be key. Will this really help India compete with Bangladesh and Vietnam in textile exports? Only time will tell. Would be great to see more details on raw material sourcing for the park.

Good to see Telangana getting this investment. But I hope the government also focuses on skill development for local youth. Just building infrastructure won't create jobs—training people to work in modern textile units is equally important. Also, what about timely completion of the CETP? Zero liquid discharge is crucial for the environment.

A step in the right direction. India has immense potential in textiles but has been lagging. This park seems well-planned with plug-and-play facilities. The Rs 3,800 crore already grounded is a good sign. Hope it creates quality jobs and not just low-wage work. 👍

Warangal is an excellent choice—the region has a long tradition of handloom and textiles. But I'm a bit skeptical about the "world-class" claims. Let's see if this park actually becomes operational and generates the promised jobs. Previous similar projects have faced delays. Hope this one is different. 🙏

Finally, some concrete action on the textile front! The 5F model is innovative—taking cotton from farm to fashion. As someone from the textile industry, I see potential. But the government must ensure that this doesn't sideline traditional handloom weavers. We need both modern parks AND support for heritage crafts.
