India’s PM MITRA scheme promised seven integrated textile parks, each holding spinning, weaving, processing and garmenting on one site with shared utilities. By late September 2026 the answer to “which ones are operating” is short: one. The others range from completed infrastructure and allotted plots to sites still moving through developer tendering. For a sourcing team, the difference decides whether a park is a supplier base today or a 2027-28 prospect.

The Scheme in Brief

The Cabinet approved PM MITRA (Prime Minister Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel Parks) with an outlay of Rs 4,445 crore over seven years to 2027-28. The seven sites are Virudhunagar (Tamil Nadu), Warangal (Telangana), Navsari (Gujarat), Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Dhar (Madhya Pradesh), Lucknow-Hardoi (Uttar Pradesh) and Amravati (Maharashtra). In March 2026 the Union Textiles Minister, Giriraj Singh, said the seven sites are final and no new ones are planned.

Operational: Warangal, Telangana

Warangal is the only park with production running. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated it on 10 May 2026. It sits on the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park, an earlier project launched in 2017, and covers 1,327 acres at a reported cost of Rs 1,695.54 crore.

Reports put allotments at about 548 acres. Kitex Garments has started commercial production at its unit and has talked of scaling to 1.1 million garments a day. The Korean apparel maker Youngone Corporation has also started commercial production, and Ganesha Ecosphere, a recycled polyester company, is investing in the park. Investment figures cited for the anchor tenants vary between sources and by date, so treat them as announcements rather than commissioned capacity.

Infrastructure Done, Production Not Yet Running: Amravati

The Amravati park in Maharashtra spans 1,020 acres. The first phase of infrastructure, including internal roads, drainage, underground cabling, street lighting and water supply, was reported complete in March 2026 when the Union Textiles Secretary visited. A Dutch company is planning a cotton processing and research centre on 66 acres, and a 100-acre solar plant has been announced. No source found reports production at the park.

Land Being Allotted: Virudhunagar and Dhar

Virudhunagar, Tamil Nadu. The park covers 1,052 acres with a project cost of Rs 1,894 crore and about 600 acres available to manufacturers. According to reporting on the state agency SIPCOT’s process, 23 investors were allotted land at a board meeting on 27 February 2026, and a second application round closed on 6 July 2026. The plan includes effluent treatment with zero liquid discharge and a solar plant. This is a park with tenants selected, not one with mills running.

Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. Dhar was the first PM MITRA park where foundation work started. On 12 August 2026 Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said production at the park is targeted for next year. Arvind Limited has proposed about Rs 1,200 crore of investment and has been allotted 105 acres. Earlier projections that first industrial activity would appear in 2026 have therefore moved into 2027.

Still in Planning and Tendering: Lucknow, Navsari and Kalaburagi

Reporting on 2026 progress says detailed project reports were finalised for the three greenfield parks at Lucknow, Kalaburagi and Navsari, with a combined project value of Rs 5,567 crore and investor interest above Rs 20,000 crore. In June 2026 the Public Private Partnership Appraisal Committee approved bid documents for Lucknow and Navsari, which are to be built through a design-build-finance-operate-transfer model with private developers holding concessions of up to 50 years. Lucknow covers about 1,000 acres and Navsari about 1,142 acres. Kalaburagi has been reported as preparing to begin phase-one groundwork. None of these three has factories operating.

Why the Gap Between Announcement and Output Is So Wide

A PM MITRA park passes through distinct stages, and each has its own delay risk. Land must be acquired and the site cleared, then common infrastructure such as roads, power, water and effluent treatment has to be built. Plots are then allotted, tenants complete their own factory construction and machinery import, and only after that does commissioning begin. Warangal moved fastest because it was built on an existing park with earlier groundwork. The greenfield sites start from a lower base and, in Lucknow and Navsari, still need private developers appointed before major construction begins.

What This Means for Sourcing Teams

Scouting today. Warangal is the only PM MITRA location where a buyer can audit a running garment or textile unit. Even there, a park that opened in May is still ramping. Ask for line-by-line capacity actually commissioned, and treat announced daily output as a target.

Planning for 2027 and after. Amravati, Virudhunagar and Dhar are the likeliest next to host production, but no operational date has been confirmed for any of them. Build supplier relationships that do not depend on park timelines.

Reading tenant announcements. A land allotment, an MoU and an investment pledge are three different stages from a working mill. The scheme’s own deadline of 2027-28 leaves little slack for the parks still at tendering.

Verify with primary sources. The Ministry of Textiles, state agencies such as SIPCOT and MIDC, and the parks’ own portals publish allotment and construction updates. Statuses in this article are as of late September 2026 and are moving.
