Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually inaugurate the PM MITRA Kakatiya Mega Textile Park in Warangal, Telangana on 10 May, Union Coal and Mines Minister G. Kishan Reddy announced on Saturday. The inauguration will be conducted from Hyderabad.
Project scale and investment
The textile park carries an estimated cost of ₹1,695.54 crore, with expected investments exceeding ₹6,000 crore, of which over ₹3,800 crore has already been deployed on the ground. Spread across 1,327 acres, it ranks among the largest textile parks in the country and was selected under the PM MITRA (Pradhan Mantri Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel) scheme as a brownfield project.
Infrastructure readiness
About 62 per cent of the park area has already been allotted to anchor investors. Internal infrastructure — roads, water supply, and street lighting — has been completed. 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.
Employment and value chain alignment
The park is expected to generate more than 24,400 jobs upon full operationalisation, with around 2,000 jobs already created. The facility aligns with the government's '5F' vision — farm to fibre, fibre to factory, factory to fashion, and fashion to foreign — aimed at strengthening the textile value chain from raw material to exports.
Broader PM MITRA framework
In March, the government finalised the establishment of PM MITRA Parks at seven locations across the country: Virudhunagar (Tamil Nadu), Warangal (Telangana), Navsari (Gujarat), Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Dhar (Madhya Pradesh), Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), and Amravati (Maharashtra). The Union Budget 2026–27 announced a separate scheme for setting up mega textile parks under a 'challenge mode' framework, signalling the government's intent to position India as a global textile manufacturing hub.
Point of View
But the real test lies in execution. With ₹3,800 crore already deployed and only 2,000 jobs created so far, the park is running at less than 10 per cent of its eventual employment target. If the remaining ₹2,200 crore is deployed as scheduled and anchor investors scale operations, the 24,400-job projection is achievable. However, textile parks globally have often underdelivered on employment promises when global demand softens. The government's 'challenge mode' framework in the 2026–27 budget suggests it is aware of execution risks — a prudent acknowledgment that infrastructure alone does not guarantee outcomes.
