Spanning 1,000 acres, this park is being developed by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) and is part of a larger initiative approved by the Government of India to establish seven such parks. The PM MITRA Parks aim to position India as a global leader in textile manufacturing and exports, attracting substantial investments and fostering innovation and job creation.
