ABSTRACT
The project “EVALUATION AND FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES OF
INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY” provides a deep knowledge of various industry which
produces the readymade garments.

It also provides a comparative study of different textile production and marketing

companies like ARVIND MILLS, RELIANCE TEXTILES, BIRLA GROUP, RAYMONDS,
BOMBAY DEYING AND OTHERS with similar profile to discuss about their products, offers,
policies, services and providing suggestion to them.

On the basis of feedback through questionnaire and observation method, I fond that
there is close competition between the companies. As each of them are increasing their products,
qualities, looks and providing better services everyday. The entry of the MNCs are also the
major opportunity for the industry and it enlarge the competition of the industry.

The Indian textile industry is the one of the biggest industry of India. It is a total
market size of $55 billion. It contains at least 4% of GDP, 17% of total industrial production,
19% of The domestic market is likely to increase from US$ 34.6 billion to US$ 60 billion by
2012. It is expected that India's share of exports to the world would also increase from the
current 4 per cent to around 7 per cent during this period.India's textile exports have shot up from
US$ 19.14 billion in 2006-07 to US$ 22.13 billion in 2007-08, registering a growth of over 15
per cent.

My analysis is based on sample results. It was a difficult task to gather the information
from respondents by meeting them personally in order to get questionnaire filled. There was a lot
of time pressure and sometimes unwillingness of respondents to respond.

CHAPTER –1
INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION:-
 7

Textile is the core business of India from the ling time. It is major business
for our short term and cottage industries. Indian textile industry is as old as the word textile
itself. This industry holds a significant position in India by providing the most basic need of
Indians. Starting from the procurement of raw materials to the final production stage of the actual
textile, the Indian textile industry works on an independent basis.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY :-

Textile is the oldest business of Indians. Manier places in India accounting for
its remarkable achievement in the field of textiles. It is a major source of the earning of the
revenue generation for the country. From the last 50 years after the independence, this sector
continuously is a part of the revenue generation of the countries. It is a major industry in
employment generation of the country. From the last couple of years, it accounting for a leading
role in the GDP of the country. It accounts for around 4 per cent of the gross domestic product
(GDP), 14 per cent of industrial production and over 13 per cent of the country's total export
earnings. Moreover, it provides employment to over 35 million people.

The Indian textile industry is estimated to be around US$ 52 billion and is

likely to reach US$ 115 billion by 2012. The domestic market is likely to increase from US$
34.6 billion to US$ 60 billion by 2012. It is expected that India's share of exports to the world
would also increase from the current 4 per cent to around 7 per cent during this period.

India's textile exports have shot up from US$ 19.14 billion in 2006-07 to US$ 22.13 billion in
2007-08, registering a growth of over 15 per cent.

HISTORY OF INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY :-

India has a diverse and rich textile tradition. It is the second largest producer
of textile and clothing in the world with its products being exported to over 120 countries.
Recent estimates indicate that the country's textile sector will grow faster in the coming years
and contribute a lot to the our overall economy. There are different time per time revolution has
been taken place in the Indian textile industry.

The textile sector has been thriving in India for decades. The traditional
textile industry of India had virtually decayed during the colonial regime. However, in the
nineteenth century, the industry was revived with the establishment of textile mills in Calcutta
(now Kolkata) in 1818. Cotton textile industry had begun functioning in Bombay (now Mumbai)
in 1850s and the first cotton textile mill in the city was established in 1854 by a Parsi cotton
merchant. These growth expectations run contrary to the perceived vied, a decade back or so,
that textile was a sunset industry. Till 1985, India has no specialized policies to promote the
textile industry. It is is 1985 that the government announced a separate policy statement with
regard to development of textile sector. In the year 2000, National Textile Policy was announced
and since then the Indian textile industry has been exhibiting a distinguished performance
opening up new opportunities for the small and medium scale industries (SMEs) in the country.
 8

Parallel to these developments the Indian textile industry has witnessed over
the last few years, textile exports of the country have also grown exponentially despite stiff
competition from Asian rivals like Vietnam, China, Pakistan and Indonesia. During 2006-07,
India's textile exports were valued at $18.73 billion (Rs 84,752 crore) and they are estimated to
be at $22 billion in the year to March 2009.

many famous national and national researchers. ASSOCHAM’ study on textile in India, AC
Nielsen’s survey’s are the major ones which takes into implementation and there suggestions has
been deeply implemented.

According to the report given by ASSOCHAM, the textile sector registered 50 per
cent increase in investment during 2008-09 to US$ 10.46 billion from US$ 6.57 billion in 2007-
08. The textile industry has attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) worth US$ 677 million
from April 2000 to March 2009.

According to the Textiles and Apparel Report 2007, by the Confederation of Indian
Industry and Ernst & Young, the Indian sourcing market is estimated to grow at an annual
average rate of 12 per cent from an expected market size of US$ 22 billion-US$ 25 billion in
2008 to US$ 35 billion-US$ 37 billion by 2011.

Simultaneously, world's cutting edge fashion brands such as Hugo Boss, Diesel and Liz
Claiborne are stepping up their sourcing from India.

According to the ICRA Information, Grading andResearch Service, India’s textile

and apparel exports to US during January-April 2005 have37%grown by 27 per cent as
compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. However,this has been at a slower
rate as compared to China (59 per cent) during the same period. Indianeeds to shift its focus to
exports of textile and clothing based on manmade fibres, whichaccounted a meagre 16 per cent
of the total textiles and apparel exports in 2004, while 37 percent of US textile and apparel
imports constituted imports of manmade fibre in 2004. Thus, it isnecessary to leverage our cost
advantage in terms of labour costs to boost overall textiles andapparel sector in the future.

CHAPTER—4
OVERVIEW OF INDIAN TEXTILE
INDUSTRY

OVERVIEW OF INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY

 15

Indian textile industry is the country’s leading profit gainer industry. It is a very old
and traditional business of India. This industry holds a significant position in India by providing
the most basic need of Indians. Starting from the procurement of raw materials to the final
production stage of the actual textile, the Indian textile industry works on an independent basis.
Until the economic liberalization of Indian economy, the Indian Textile Industry was
predominantly unorganized industry. The opening up of Indian economy post 1990s led to a
stupendous growth of this industry.

Indian Textile Industry is one of the largest textile industries in the world. Today,
Indian economy is largely dependent on textile manufacturing and exports. India earns around
27% of the foreign exchange from exports of textiles. Further, Indian Textile Industry
contributes about 14% of the total industrial production of India. Furthermore, its contribution to
the gross domestic product of India is around 3% and the numbers are steadily increasing. Indian
Textile Industry involves around 35 million workers directly and it accounts for 21% of the total
employment generated in the economy.

Indian textile industry concludes of various segments like:

1. Woolen Textile

2. Cotton Textiles

3. Silk Textiles

4. Readymade Garments

5. Jute And Coir

6. Hand-Crafted Textile Like Carpets

7. Man Made Textiles

Indian textile industry in a very short span had made a distinct position globally, alluring the
globe towards the ‘World of Indian textiles’. This has happened mainly because:

8. High availability of raw materials

 16

9. Highly skilled economical labor, an added advantage

10. Largest producer of cotton yarn contributing 25% towards worlds cotton

11. Availability of all kinds of fibers like silk, cotton, wool and even high quality synthetic
fibers

12. Flexibility of the readymade garment industry in terms of sizes, fabric variety, quantity,
quality and cost

It’s not just the present that is shinning like a bright start but also the future, as
the textile export market of India is expected to reach a high of $50 billion by 2010. This will
eventually make a profit by 300%. In order to attain this target Indian textile industry has already
started improving their design skills, including a combination of various fibers. Indian textile
industry is all set to meet international standards and is planning to invest $5 billion in
machineries very soon.

Most of the international brands like Marks & Spencer, JC penny, Gap have
started procuring most of their fabrics from India. In fact, Walmart, who had procured textile
worth $ 200 million last year, intends to procure $ 3 billion worth of textile this year.

The golden phase of the Indian textile industry has just begun where the world is
chasing it from all nooks and corners.

INDIAN TEXTILE POLICY 2000.

Highlights of the

National Textile Policy 2000

The Government of India recently announced the new National Textile Policy
(NTP) 2000, with the objective of facilitating the industry to attain and sustain a pre-eminent
global standing in the manufacture and export of clothing. In furtherance of these objectives, the
strategic thrust is to be placed on technological upgradation, enhancement of productivity and
quality, product diversification, and strengthening the raw material base in the country.

Through NTP 2000, the Government would endeavor to achieve the target of
textile and apparel exports from the present level of U.S. $11 billion to U.S. $50 billion by 2010.
Of this, the share of garments would be U.S. $25 billion.Ê The policy provides for setting up a
venture capital fund for tapping knowledge-based entrepreneurs and assisting the private sector
to set up specialized financial arrangements to fund the diverse needs of the textile industry.

The new policy would also encourage the private sector to set up world class,
environment-friendly, integrated textile complexes and textile processing units in different parts
of the country and would review and revitalise the working of the TRAs (TextileResearch
Associations) to focus research on industry needs.

Sectoral Initiatives

Within the framework of the new Policy, the following sector specific initiatives will be taken:

RAW MATERIALS

The thrust will be on improving the availability, productivity and quality of raw materials at
reasonable prices for the industry. Though cotton is expected to continue to be the dominant
fiber, special attention will be given to bring the balance between cotton and non-cotton fibers
closer to international levels.

Cotton

The primary aim of the policy for this segment will be to improve production, productivity and
quality, and stabilize prices. The Technology Mission on Cotton will be the instrument for
achieving these parameters. Ministry of Textiles, Ministry of Agriculture, Cotton growing States,
farmers and industry associations will be actively involved in the implementation of this
Mission.
 24

Silk

Focus will be on achieving international standards in all varieties of silk. Steps will include:

• Improving Research & Development and effective transfer of technology at all stages.

• Increasing the production of non-mulberry varieties of silk.

• Encouraging clustering of activities of reeling and weaving and strengthening linkages between

producers and industry.

• Reviewing the import policy periodically for raw silk, taking into account the balanced interests

of the sericulturists as well as the export manufacturers.Ê

Wool

In order to augment availability of quality wool, the following measures will be initiated:

• Take up collaborative research projects with the leading wool producing countries of the

world.

• Encourage private breeding farms to increase productivity.

• Promote private sector linkages for marketing of wool.

• Take up an integrated development program for angora wool.

Jute

A Technology Mission on Jute will be launched to achieve the following objectives:

• Develop high yielding seeds to improve productivity and acceptability in markets.

• Improve retting practices to get better quality fiber.

• Transfer cost effective technologies to the farmers and create strong market linkages.

Clothing

The role of this sector is poised for radical change in view of the transformation in the
international trading environment brought about by the rules and regulations of the WTO. The
industry will be restructured as follows:

• Garment industry will be taken out of the SSI reservation list.

 25

• Joint ventures and strategic alliances with leading world manufacturers will be promoted.

• Schemes with necessary infrastructural facilities for the establishment of textile/apparel parks
will be designed with the active involvement of state governments, financial institutions and the
private sector.

Jute Industry

In the jute sector, attempts would be made to revive the jute economy through supportive
measures covering research and development, technology upgradation, creation of infrastructure
for storage and marketing of raw jute, and product and market development activities for jute and
diversified jute products.

Spinning Sector

The NTP seeks to continue efforts to modernize and upgrade technology to international levels,
and proposes to take the following steps, in cotton spinning as well as in the worsted woolen
sectors:

• Encourage the spinning sector to continue to modernize.

• Liberalize and encourage export of cotton yarn.

Organized Mill Industry

Efforts will be made to restore the organized mill industry to its position of pre-eminence to meet
international demand for high value and large volume products. For this purpose, the following
measures will be initiated:

• Integration of production efforts on technology driven lines

• Encouragement for setting up large integrated textile complexes

• Strategic alliances with international textile majors, with focus on new products and retailing

strategies

• Creation of awareness and supportive measures for application of IT for upgradation of

technology, enhancement of efficiency, productivity and quality, better working environment
and HRD.

The earlier policy of not nationalizing sick units will be continued. As regards the unviable
Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), various options for strategic partnerships or privatization
 26

will be explored. Non-viable mills will be closed down with provision for an adequate safety-net
for workers and employees.

Powerloom Industry

The powerloom sector occupies a pivotal position in the Indian textile industry. However, its
growth has been stunted by technological obsolescence, fragmented structure, low productivity
and low-end quality products. The focus will therefore be on modernization of powerloom
service Centres and testing facilities, and clustering of facilities to achieve optimum levels of
production.

Handloom Industry

The handloom sector is known for its heritage and the tradition of excellent craftsmanship. It
provides livelihood to India’s millions of weavers and crafts-persons. The industry has not only
survived but also grown over the decades due to its inherent strengths like flexibility of
production in small quantities, openness to innovation, low level of capital investment and
immense possibilities for fabric design. The Government will continue to accord priority to this
sector. Steps would be taken to promote and develop its exclusiveness for the global market.
Measures willinclude the following:

• Training modules for weavers engaged in the production of low value added items with
theobjective of upgrading their skills to enable them to find alternate employment in the textile
or other allied sector

• Comprehensive welfare measures in close cooperation with the State Governments, for better
working environment and social security of weavers

• Effective support systems in R&D, design inputs, skill upgradation

• Review of the Hank Yarn Obligation Order and the Reservation Orders issued under the
Handloom (Reservation of Articles for Production) Act 1985, keeping in mind the needs
ofhandloom weavers Merchandising and marketing will be central to the success of the
handloom sector,Êthe presentpackage of schemes for production of value added fabrics will be
streamlined, innovative marketoriented schemes will be introduced, and joint ventures will be
encouraged both at the domestic and international levels. Brand equity of handlooms will also be
commercially exploited to the extent possible.

Knitting

Hosiery knitting, the growth of which has accelerated during the last decade primarily because

of expansion of hosiery into global fashion knitwear, is expected to expand into the apparel and

home furnishing sectors. In this segment, the following measures will be taken:
 27

• Review of the Policy of SSI Reservation for this sector

• Encouraging technology upgradation and expansion of capacity

• Introduction of support systems for commercial intelligence, design and fashion inputs

Carpets

While machine-made carpet manufacturing in the mill sector will be guided by the policy
framework for the organized industry, the policy for the hand knotted carpet sector will focus on
sustained growth of exports and welfare of weavers and their children. Encouragement will be
given to the manufacture of products that conform to and bear the ‘KALEEN’ mark of standards,
with insistence on compliance with the provisions of the Child Labor (Prohibition and
Regulation) Act, 1986. Government intervention will be in technology upgradation, including
indigenization of machines, development of testing facilities, and use of natural dyes. Adaptation
of traditional motifs and promotion of brand image would also constitute thrust areas.
 28
