The review meeting, chaired by Union Textile Minister Giriraj Singh, saw central and state government officials assessing the progress of the PM Mitra Park. They reviewed tasks such as land leveling, water and electricity supply, common effluent treatment plants, boiler steam, and plug-and-play facilities, directing officials to bring these works to a working level.
The textile minister emphasized that Surat is the hub of the textile industry, with a unique global identity in the sector. The industry has become a major source of employment for millions. The central government’s target is to raise the country’s textile industry turnover to $350 billion by 2030. The mega-integrated apparel park, which will be established over 1,141 acres in Vansi Borsi, will create new employment opportunities across South Gujarat and the entire state.
