The Virudhnagar park will house integrated textile units with ZLD facilities, solar power and plug-and-play infrastructure.
The project is scheduled for completion by December 2027, strengthening the region's textile value chain.

The Board of Directors of PM MITRA Park Tamil Nadu has allotted 190.44 acres of industrial land to 23 investors, unlocking committed investments of nearly ₹2,192.21 crore (~$264 million) and creating potential for around 15,000 jobs. The approved proposals span integrated plants, yarn manufacturing, fabric production, processing and finishing, garment manufacturing and technical textiles.

The allotments signal strong industry confidence in the Park’s governance structure and long-term competitiveness. The PM MITRA Park at Virudhnagar is expected to accelerate the development of an integrated yarn-to-garment value chain in a region already known for textile and apparel manufacturing and exports, according to a press release issued by the Indian Ministry of Textiles.

The Park, one of seven mega textile parks under the PM MITRA scheme, is being developed at a cost of ₹1,894 crore (~$228 million). It will feature a 15 MLD CETP with ZLD, a 20 MLD ZLD facility, a 20 MW solar power plant, centralised steam boilers and nearly 13 lakh sq ft of plug-and-play units. Located on NH 44 and 106 km from Tuticorin port, it offers strong logistics connectivity. Infrastructure works worth nearly ₹550 crore (~$60 million) are underway, with completion targeted by December 2027.

The 9th Board meeting held on February 27, 2026 was chaired by Neelam Shami Rao, Secretary, Ministry of Textiles. Attendees included Rohit Kansal, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Textiles; Arun Roy Vijayakrishnan, Secretary, Industries, Investment Promotion & Commerce Department, Government of Tamil Nadu; Senthil Raj Krishnan, MD, SIPCOT; along with representatives from NICDC, the Ministry of Textiles and SIPCOT.
