Madhya Pradesh’s Indore-Dhar belt is emerging as a textile hub around the 2,156-acre PM MITRA Park at Bhainsola near Badnawar.
The project has reported commitments exceeding ₹20,000 crore and is projected to create more than 46,000 jobs.
Plug-and-play facilities, highway links and investor interest could support exporters, apparel makers and sourcing teams.
With demand continuing to grow, the Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC) is reportedly preparing for the next round of land distribution.
Once fully developed, the park is projected to create over 46,000 employment opportunities and establish one of India’s major textile production clusters, bringing together various stages of the textile value chain within a single location.
The PM MITRA Park is being developed on a model that goes beyond traditional industrial zones. Designed as a ready-to-operate textile hub, it aims to provide manufacturers with essential infrastructure that reduces the time and cost required to begin production.
As per reports, the core facilities such as internal roads, water systems and drainage infrastructure were reportedly progressing, while common amenities including an Effluent Treatment Plant, Sewage Treatment Plant, Common Facility Centre, testing facilities, incubation support and plug-and-play manufacturing spaces were also being developed.
A major advantage of the project is the growth of a supporting industrial network around it. Several established apparel and textile companies, including names like Arvind Group, OFB Tech and Jhil, are reportedly increasing their presence in the Indore area, helping build a stronger regional supply chain.
The emergence of this cluster could also strengthen India’s role in global apparel sourcing. Production from the region is expected to cater to both domestic brands and international fashion companies, connecting Madhya Pradesh more closely with the global textile markets.
Infrastructure connectivity further enhances the park’s appeal. A dedicated four-lane road connection provides access to the national highway network and the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, improving links with ports, major markets, and export destinations. Better transport infrastructure is expected to reduce logistics challenges and support faster movement of goods, making the region more competitive for manufacturers.
The project has also begun attracting international interest. A reported visit by a Taiwanese industry delegation to explore investment possibilities signals the growing attention from overseas businesses towards the Indore-Dhar textile corridor and its potential to become a significant manufacturing destination.
The PM MITRA Park project has created significant expectations, though many believe its long-term success, to a great extent, will depend on execution, workforce development, and the ability to attract export-oriented manufacturers and develop a complete textile value chain rather than relying only on factory investment.
