India’s emphasis on developing textile parks and leather clusters is giving a significant boost to specialized land investments, as investors and developers respond to the government’s targeted push toward creating globally competitive, sector-specific industrial zones. With the introduction of the PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) scheme and dedicated leather industry hubs under various state industrial policies, land earmarked for these industries is becoming highly valuable due to its integration with infrastructure, utilities, and compliance facilities tailored to sector-specific requirements.
Regions such as Erode and Salem (Tamil Nadu), Surat (Gujarat)EV Ecosystem Spurs Creation of Specialized Industrial Corridors, Bhadohi (Uttar Pradesh), and Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) have seen a rise in demand for pre-zoned land suitable for garment manufacturing, dyeing units, textile processing, leather tanning, and footwear production. These zones are supported by common effluent treatment plants (CETPs), access to skilled labor, cluster-based incentives, and connectivity to ports and export terminals, making them especially attractive for export-oriented units (EOUs) and supply chain-integrated developments.For investors, these specialized zones offer predictable tenant demand, high occupancy rates, and long-term leasing potential, particularly from MSMEs and international sourcing companies looking to de-risk from traditional hubs like China. Additionally, ESG-conscious developers are exploring green textile parks and sustainable leather clusters that comply with global environmental standards. As India strengthens its position in the global apparel and leather supply chain, land in these specialized clusters is emerging as a strategic investment opportunity, offering both economic upside and alignment with industrial policy goals.
