Japanese apparel brand Uniqlo, which has expressed a keen interest in advancing cotton production capabilities, productivity, and quality within India, was recently urged by India’s textile ministry to invest in the Prime Minister’s Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Parks.

These parks offer a ready-to-perform ecosystem with a build-to-suit model, ensuring seamless integration for companies seeking sustainable and efficient operations.

In a recent meeting of senior Uniqlo officials with Indian textiles minister Giriraj Singh, the ministry encouraged Uniqlo to extend its research and development efforts into new natural fibres, including milkweed fibre, aligning with India’s own initiatives in this area, a ministry release said.

The ministry is committed to supporting Uniqlo’s request for land to scale its pilot initiative in India on raising cotton production.
