The Board of Directors at PM MITRA Park in Virudhunagar, Tamil Nadu, allots 190.44 acres of industrial land to 23 investors, unlocking Rs 2,192.21 crore in committed investments and potential for 15,000 jobs. This move bolsters the region’s integrated textile and apparel value chain.
Investments span key segments including integrated plants, yarn manufacturing, fabric production, processing and finishing, garment manufacturing, and technical textiles.
Board Meeting Approves Allotments
Directors approve the land allotments during their 9th meeting on February 27, 2026, chaired by Neelam Shami Rao, Secretary, Ministry of Textiles. Participants include Rohit Kansal, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Textiles; Arun Roy Vijayakrishnan, Secretary, Industries, Investment Promotion and Commerce Department, Government of Tamil Nadu; and Senthil Raj Krishnan, MD, SIPCOT, Tamil Nadu, alongside representatives from NICDC, Ministry of Textiles, and SIPCOT.
Investor Confidence Signals Growth
Robust investor participation reflects strong faith in the park’s design, governance, and long-term viability. These allotments speed up development of a full yarn-to-garment value chain in Virudhunagar, a leading textile manufacturing and export center.
The park’s 20 MLD Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system enables eco-friendly processing for multiple units, including small and medium enterprises.
Advanced Infrastructure and Strategic Location
One of seven mega parks under the PM MITRA scheme, the Virudhunagar facility costs Rs 1,894 crore and incorporates a 15 MLD Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) with ZLD, a 20 MW solar power plant, centralized steam boilers, and about 13 lakh sq ft of ready-to-use plug-and-play units.
Situated directly on National Highway NH 44 and just 106 km from Tuticorin port, the park offers superior connectivity, logistics, and access to a thriving textile ecosystem.
Timeline and Ongoing Works
Nearly Rs 550 crore in infrastructure projects progress at the site, targeting full completion by December 2027. The board emphasizes transparent, policy-focused, and ecosystem-oriented development to fortify India’s textile sector and elevate global competitiveness.
