UP country’s largest investor market: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, at the PM Mitra Park Investors’ Meet in Lucknow, emphasized Uttar Pradesh’s growing prominence as a textile and apparel hub. At the meet, he distributed Rs 218 crore in incentives to 80 investors and announced the signing of two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) worth Rs 700 crore for the development of the PM Mitra Park.
The Mega Textile and Apparel Park, spanning 1,000 acres along the Lucknow-Hardoi border, is set to create over 50,000 jobs and position Uttar Pradesh as a key player in India’s textile industry. This initiative is part of the PM MITRA Scheme, with Uttar Pradesh’s park being the only one in a state capital. The park will offer integrated facilities such as weaving, dyeing, printing, designing, and packaging.
Adityanath highlighted Uttar Pradesh as India’s largest consumer market, catering to not only its 25 crore population but also neighboring regions like Nepal, Bhutan, Bihar, and Rajasthan. The state has attracted Rs 3,800 crore in investment proposals under 83 MoUs, with more than 1,000 MoUs already signed.
The CM credited the success of the state’s textile and handloom industry to the “One District, One Product” (ODOP) scheme, reviving traditional industries like Kashi’s silk and carpets, Varanasi’s sarees, and Lucknow’s chikankari embroidery. He also announced plans to establish 10 new textile parks named after Sant Kabir Das and two leather parks in honor of Sant Ravidas, further boosting the textile and leather sectors in the state.
