When unveiling the 2026-’27 budget earlier this year, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman proposed setting up mega textile parks in challenge mode. In March, the government told the Lok Sabha that it has finalised seven textile parks under Pradhan Mantri Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel. The private developers awarded these projects will go on to create integrated textile parks under the Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer model. Of 4,257 industrial parks mapped on the India Industrial Land Bank as of July 7, 2026, spanning 681,000 hectares, 134,000 hectares are still available. Yet, new industrial parks, apart from the mega textile parks, continue to be announced.
