The proposed PM Mitra Park, planned in Lucknow and Hardoi districts with an estimated investment of ₹1,680 crore, is expected to generate over 1 lakh jobs and attract investments worth ₹10,000 crore, the Uttar Pradesh government announced on Wednesday. The government highlighted that the textiles park will not only boost industrial growth but also serve as a model for sustainable and environmentally conscious development.
At the national level, the Centre has approved the establishment of PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Parks across seven locations: Tamil Nadu (Virudhnagar), Telangana (Warangal), Gujarat (Navasari), Karnataka (Kalaburagi), Madhya Pradesh (Dhar), Uttar Pradesh (Lucknow), and Maharashtra (Amravati). The project carries a total outlay of ₹4,445 crore over seven years, up to 2027-28.
The PM MITRA scheme is designed to draw investments of around ₹70,000 crore and generate nearly 20 lakh direct and indirect jobs. “According to the government’s proposal, the total cost of the project is estimated at Rs 1,680 crore. The park will be developed over 100 acres, creating more than one lakh jobs and attracting investment worth Rs 10,000 crore,” the state government said in a statement.
“It will feature eco-friendly construction materials, energy-efficient designs, rainwater harvesting, solar power, and e-waste management systems. Through this initiative, Uttar Pradesh aims not only to become ‘India’s Growth Engine’ but also to emerge as a model ‘Green State’,” it added.
