We are in the age of space and information science. Everything today is changed, everything
today is new; the nation’s output in certain sectors of industrial production is more than double
than what it was a decade ago. It has been done through the co-ordinated efforts of men; that it
resulted from the effective use of power; right combination of men, materials and capital.

The efficient and optimum control of production functions include the mechanics of materials
management to insure quick, timely and correct inflow of resources into the production chain
and a through monitoring of all finished goods as well as waste and by-products.

3 Integrating Indian Textile Industry into World Economy

(2nd & 3rd December, 1994) Edited by: Dr. M. D. Teli Price Rs. 150 /-

Indian textile industry having long enjoyed protection had not paid sufficient attention to quality
and competitiveness. However the SWOT analysis indicates that there exists tremendous
potential for growth and development of Indian textile industry, provided technological
upgradation and earnest efforts to become internationally competitive are committed. With the
emergence of GATT, it is high time India takes things very seriously so that the opportunity of
gaining major foot-hold in the global textile markets is not slipped-off.

The critical analysis of the present textile scenario affected by recent policy changes and
restructuring in comparison to the one at international Level, professional management skills,
technology integration, innovations in diverse product development and futuristic vision are the
topics of the papers which are being presented by eminent industrialists, top bureaucrats, expert
professional and renowned scientists. The diversity of these topics with united vision of
Integration will provide enough stimulating effect.

4 Success Story of EOU (15th September, 1995)

Edited by: Dr. H. V. S. Murthy Price Rs. 125 /-

It is the policy of the government to boost exports and diversify the same in terms of commodity
and country coverage. In fact it tries to bridge the country’s yawning trade gap and to bolster
foreign exchange reserves.

With the above objectives in mind, the 100% Export Oriented Unit (EOU) scheme started with
much fanfare in December 1980. This scheme did not progress till 1987. This was due to the fact
that there was no provision for the sale of products or even to process waste, in the domestic
tariff area (DTA).

Realising the potentialities of the 100% EOU scheme, in 1987, government announced a number
of policy measures which aimed at giving an impetus to exports.

Under this new scheme, 100% EOUs were permitted to set up 25% of their production in DTA,
with the purchaser having to pay excise duty, sales tax and other taxes applicable on the goods.
The second attempt to review the scheme was also not successful, due to cumbersome
procedures and guidelines to be followed in selling the product in DTA. Hardly there were any
takers. Very few companies like Eurotex came forward to take-up this scheme.

The third attempt to review the scheme was made in the year 1991, where series of measures to
simplify the procedures were announced as a part of the government’s liberalisation drive. This
attempt had desired effect in the minds of takers, 100% EOUs started mushrooming all over the
country, thus ushering an ‘ERA OF EOUs’!

5 Sizing – The Key Stone for Quality Fabrics (14th June, 1996)
Edited by: Dr. M. D. Teli Price Rs. 125 /-

It is the time for us to do introspection and accept the fact that there is relatively very low degree
of modernisation taken place in our weaving sector making it absolutely difficult to expect
production of quality fabrics at a competitive cost which is the need of the hour. There is every
likelihood that our own market will be flooded with cheaper goods from neighbouring countries, if
no steps are taken towards lowering our production cost of the fabric. Indeed, it calls for strategic
planning and integrated approach wherein every stage of manufacture of fabric is given due
attention in terms of efficiency of the process, quality of the product, etc.
 Sizing plays a paramount role in making of quality fabrics and deserves a significant attention to
be paid to this processing stage. Loom efficiency, cost effectiveness and quality of fabric
manufactured are greatly dependent on how the sizing process is carried out.

6 Yarn Export – A Challenge (27th September, 1996)

Edited by: Dr. H. V. S. Murthy Price Rs. 150 /-

Indian industry, having long enjoyed protection, has not paid sufficient attention to quality and
competitiveness. Globalisation of the economy has brought in tremendous potential for the
growth and development of industries and commerce in the country. The impact was more felt by
the textile industry especially manufacturing yarns for export.

It has been noticed that high incidence of yarn fault is a major concern even in the most modern
mills. Hence there is a need for detailed information on identifying the causes of unsatisfactory
yarn quality and to arrive at proper selection of raw material, technology, manufacturing
conditions and precautions to produce yarn of international quality standards.

Man-Made Fibre Industry started in India in the 50S as Viscose Rayon and Acetate as Staple
Fibre and filament yarn manufacturing followed by Nylon and Polyester in 60 S. Today the man-
made fibre industry has grown to several folds with entire range of man-made fibres produced in
the country meeting the international standards. The growth of the industry has lead to the
backward integration to produce required raw material and intermediates. India can boast of
acquiring / developing technological advancement in the filed with the core strength of thinktanks
and intelligent technocrats to be one of the major man-made fibre producer in the world. It is
estimated that the countries man-made fibre production by the turn of the century will be about
2.0 million tons per year.

Edited by: Dr. M. D. Teli Price Rs. 100 /-

The Textile Industry presently too it is still the major, single most foreign exchange earner and
holds a key position in the Indian economy. However, activities of Composite Mills in Mumbai
have been drastically reduced leaving many units totally closed and many more critically sick.
There are of-course a number of reasons for this pathetic situation and to survive in the present
day globalised trade, it goes withour saying that total restructuring and modernisation of these
Textile Mills is a must. The huge cost of modernisation thus can only be met by developing the
surplus land owned by these Textile Mills.

The cost of land in Mumbai all these years has skyrocketed and in the recent past it was reported
to be the costliest in the World. One of the reports estimates the land value of Textile Mills to the
tune of Rs. 15,000 crore. However, it is also a known fact that last two years there has been a
considerable decline in land cost in Mumbai as is observed in other metropolis too.

Because of the paucity of funds and dire need of investment for modernisation of Mills, the
surplus mill land has attracted a lot of attention from all corners and thus the topic of this
seminar "Land Resource – A Remedy to Textile Sickness" has been a most appropriate one.

Edited by: Dr. M. D. Teli Price Rs. 150 /-

The liberalisation of economy coupled with globalisation of the trade has put our textile industry in
an international competition. The phasing out of the multi fibre arrangement (MFA) by 2005 AD
will surely put us in free-for-all competition. The players who are in a position to give maximum
attention to productivity, quality and economy will service in such games.

The picture of composite Textile Mills is very much gloomy since this industry is trapped between
the machinations of the powerloom sector and the cut-throat competition at the Global level.

How would then, these organised Textile Mills survive in near future? There is no second
opinion that they have to go in for modernisation and they have to accept a new role in up-
market as a quality producer of speciality fabrics which are in demand on both the fronts –
domestic as well as international one. There has been initiative from some of the Mills in this
direction and time will decide their impact in relation to the quantity and quality of similar
products available Globally not forgetting the cost factor.

10 Technical Textiles (31st January, 1998)

Edited by: Dr. M. D. Teli Price Rs. 250 /-

The Textile Industry in India is the mother industry and it has given birth over the years to a
number of industries since the profit earned out of the textile activities was invested in
diversification of the business. Presently, when the economy is liberalised and the globalisation of
the trade is bound to stay, this age old industry, deprived of modernisation and lack of sufficient
operational finance, is faced with international competition which is rather difficult to withstand.
The diversified activities grow and keep pace with the technological advancement taking place on
the global level.

There are a number of reasons almost known to every conscious player in this filed as to why
textile industry is passing presently through a tough weather. However, one thing is sure that
when we talk about textiles, the picture comes before us is either woven or knitted textiles and the
activities relating to their manufacture and processing and at the most, garment making activities.
There is an untapped of tremendous potential in terms of technical textiles or industrial textiles is
concerned. Depending upon their application, these technical textiles are called as Agrotech,
Buildtech, Geotech, Hometech, Indutech, Medtech, Mobiltech, Sportstech, Protech, etc. You
name the field and textile application is sure to be there. When such a situation is prevailing and
the textiles are indeed all encompassing.

The consumption of technical textiles and fibres on the global level is estimated about 10 million
tonnes, worth about US $ 54 billions. This accounts to about 19% of the fibre used world over. In
the period of 1985-1995, the consumption of technical textiles increased by about 54% in terms
of quantity and 76% in terms of value. By the year 2005 A.D. the consumption of technical
textiles is expected to increase by about 5% per annum. In the transport sector, 4.5 lakhs tonnes
of technical textiles is used and it will grow with a rate of 6% per annum especially as the
demand for composites is increasing day by day. Geotextile field is also pregnant with growth
rate of 9%. The growth of technical textiles will vary from fibre to fibre, type of application and
also regions in which they are consumed. But suffice to say that a tremendous promising
potential is hidden in the field if technical textiles.

11. Valuation of Productivity Quality / Cost in Spinning

(24th February, 1998) Edited by: Prof. (Dr.) M. D. Teli Price Rs. 150 /-

Spinning is a vital mechanical operation which makes the yarn, the basic component of the
fabric. In order to thus produce high quality fabric, it goes without saying that yarn quality is of
atmost importance. And to be able to achieve such a degree of quality and quantity in spinning,
modernisation becomes highly essential. Thousands of units in our country are totally dedicated
to spinning of yarn and majority of our co-operative mills are solely dependent on the spinning
performance. At the same time, there are limitations as far as required financial investments are
concerned and a number of time upgradation instead of replacement of these spinning
machines is resorted to. How far can we march with this strategy can only be decided by the
time. However, the use of the most modern machines is the ultimate answer in order to be able
to withstand a global competition in quality, quantity and cost of the yarn.

Success of any business largely depends upon how it is managed. Management of Man,
Machine, Money and Marketing is of vital importance. The Textile scenario is changing due to
the rapid change in the circumstances surrounding this business activity. Its time, when the
market is competitive not only at the international level but also at the domestic front, Indian
textile industry gives closer look at the parameters which are likely to affect its present status
and also the future prospects.

13 Appropriate Technology & Management Style in Weaving for 21st

Century (5th Dec., 1998) Edited by: Dr. M. D. Teli Price Rs. 150 /-

The seminar addresses the issues which are related to the manufacture of the cloth and thus it’s
theme "Appropriate Technology and Management Style in Weaving for 21st Century" is quite
appropriate. Unless the woven fabric manufactured is defect free for long length and meets the
requirements of the buyer, adherence to standard quality and value addition in subsequent
processing operations becomes difficult. In India the need of modernisation `of Weaving
Machines, rationalisation of labour and requirement of capital investment at a lower rate of
interest are recognised and the Government has already established Technological Upgradation
Fund for the same. However, to what extent the actual implementation takes place and how
quickly it comes in force requires to be seen.

14 Emerging Trends on Textile Horizon (17th & 18th December, 1999)

Edited by: Dr. M. D. Teli Price Rs.150 /-

On the occasion of the 55th All India Textile Conference organized by Mumbai Unit of Textile
Association (India). Theme of the conference "Emerging Trends on Textile Horizon". Many
authors have taken painstaking efforts in preparing such highly informative and useful papers. In
general, the authors’ views include:

* Put in efforts to increase the yield of cotton per hectare

* Modernise various sectors for which schemes like TUF and CTM should be availed of
* Enhance the quality with cost reduction, deliver timely and adopt ecofriendly processing
* Designer’s role is that of a therapist
* Make labour intensive industry as "human intensive" being ready to face the new challenge.

The readers can get much clearer understanding of these views once they go through the
"Proceedings" and interact with the speakers.

It is time we became globally competitive. Our product quality should be improved and our total
outlook needs to be changed. The Indian textile industry very soon will undergo rapid
modernisation and restructuring. The rationalisation of labour will be the need of the day. The
new textile policy will any time be declared. The phasing out of MFA in the year 2005 will push
the Indian textile industry into fierce competition. Newer trade blocks are getting crystallised.
Indeed it is the dawn of a new era and the various trends are emerging out of the obscurity on
the textile horizon.

15 Texturising Growth in Subcontinent (9th June, 2001)

Edited by: Mr. C. Bose Price Rs. 150 /-

The Polyester Texturising industry in India has recorded massive growth so far from 10 thousand
TPA in 1980 to 700 thousand TPA today & is further expected to go upto 1.7 million TPA by 2005.
The major reason could be traced as, the inadequacy of natural fibres like cotton to cater the
increasing demands of the growing population, making Polyester common man’s choice because
of it’s perfection and inexpensiveness.

This year cotton production is expected to be about 2.5 million MT in India that is about 25% of
the Asian Production and 14% of world’s production in apparel sector. This at present has share
of 82% and is not sufficient to cater the needs of the growing population in India. Therefore,
Textured Polyester yarns have become an integral part of our life and it shall reach at least 30%
by year 2005 from today’s 18% (Today China has 31% Polyester share).

In the apparel textiles, polyester made most significant gains amongst other synthetic fibres
because of its excellent durability, easy wash-n-wear and wrinkle free characteristics. Along with
its popularity, however, criticism arose on the property that it possesses touch, too much akin to
plastic. In response to this criticism the synthetic fibre industry made several attempts to
overcome this problem. One such attempt virtually led to the development of textured yarn with
high Crimp Contraction i.e. Bulk, which possesses all qualities a consumer, desires
aesthetically. High bulk yarn offers beautiful and elegant appearance, soft handle and
comfortable touch. Texturising itself is a very broad term and encompasses process including
False-twist, Air-jet, Stuffer box, Edge crimping, BCF yarn production and so on. However, in
view of commercial importance, and the volume of production as well, the Flase Twist
Texturising by far outweights all other processes.

17 Proceedings - 7th International & 58th All-India Textile Conference.

Theme :  "Textile Industry Beyond 2004". Mr. V.C. Gupte, Dr. H.V.S Murthy

The International Trade in textiles and clothing stood at US Dollars 334 in 1999. From 1974 till the end of Uruguay Round i.e.
1995, the trade in textiles and clothing was controlled by Multi-Fibre Agreement (Well known by its short form, MFA). MFA
established quotas that restricted imports into countries, which faced serious threats for their domestic industries due to these
imports. The Quotas set by USA and European Countries were the most visible and significant features of MFA. After 1995, the
WTO agreement on Textiles & Clothing (ATC) has taken over from MFA. The ATC is a transitional process for ultimate removal
of all quotas by January 2005. And from January 2005, even the ATC will be integrated into WTO rules. Thus, the quota regime
will come to an end and the countries, which are the members of the WTO & have the signed the WTO agreement, will no longer
be able to restrict imports from the other countries. This will herald a new era in trade in textiles and clothing. The global
competitors will make and all out efforts in capturing as much as share of the total trade in textiles and clothing. Thus is the real
challenge as well as a big opportunity for the Indian Textile Industry. Although, India's share in the global marker in a meager
0.6%, it is the second highest foreign exchange earner for the country. Not only this, the industry will face stiff competition and
even for the domestic market, which itself is so large and so well protected all these years. How the Indian Textiles Industry
should handle this situation, which is like "Do it now or perish otherwise". There are just two more years for the industry to gear
up for itself. Secondly, all the sectors of the country - fibre, spinning / weaving, knitting, processing, garment, dyes / chemicals,
handloom and textile machinery - are going to be affected differently and need distinctly different strategies to overcome the
threat to their survival. How each sector should handle the situation and exploit it to achieve the very ambitious target set by the
Ministry of Textiles. In fact, this is the theme of the 7th International and 58th All-India Textile conference.

It is indeed our proud privilege to release this Book of Papers - Proceedings of the Conference. It was out intention to cover all
the sectors of the Indian Textiles industry by inviting the experts from the respective field and understand from them about their
views, comments, strategies and plans for Post-WTO situation. So in a way, it was a little deviation from the conventional format
of the conference. There are invited papers as well as contributed papers. Most of the authors have adhered to the theme of the
conference. There are some papers, which deal with very specific subjects. These being advanced and new technologies, we
are sure, our readers will understand and appreciate. All the authors, we must admit, have taken pains to prepare their
presentations.

The Indian Textile Industry has faced challenges in the past, for example a ban on Azo Dye or the ban of Indian Leather goods.
The industry, however, came out unscathed every time. The Post-WTO situation is, however, totally different. It is the question of
survival for the Indian Textiles Industry. It is absolutely essential that everyone involved in the decision-making - the
Government, the Industry with all its sectors, technocrats, financial Institutions, research institutions, exporters and experts
should put together all efforts for strategic planning and achieve maximum of the situation. We are sure, all delegates and the
readers will have the same after going through the proceedings.

Another novel feature of this conference is the Poster Paper presentation. It is the first time that the Poster Paper Session is held
at The All-India Textile Conference. We are really thankful to the authors of Poster Papers for their overwhelming response. The
abstracts of all Poster Papers are included in this Book of Papers. We are sure this precedent of Poster Papers will continue,
which will encourage the research students in the textile institutes.

We express our sincere thanks to all members of paper committee - Mr. S.Y. Nanal, Vice-Chairman, Dr. A.N. Desai, Prof S.R.
Shukla, Mr. V.D. Zope, Mr. Ulhas Nimkar and Mr. P.S. Pawar. We must mention that every member of the Paper Committee not
only attended all Meetings of Committee, but also contributed in identifying topic & speaker.

We also thank Mr. G.T. Dembla, Chairman and Mr. C.V Radhakrishnan, Executive Director of India ITME society, for generous
financial support for publishing this Book of Papers.

18 Global Growth Potential for Texturising. Mr. Chidambaram Bose

Polyester on the global level has registered a growth by 3% in the year 2002 against the year 2001, while all other Natural and
Synthetic fibers have declined. It is worth to note that even the queen of textile fibers, i.e. - cotton production and consumption
declined from 21 MN tons to 20 MN tons. The crisis in Textile industry has costed the jobs of 75,000 people in USA, closed over
3000 companies in Turkey and reduced 40% work force in Korea. Despite of this crisis, Polyester is growing, which indicates
clearly that Polyester growth cannot be hindered in the 21st century.

The growth has taken place in those countries which are privileged with low labour cost, high labour output with disciplined work
practice and culture, enriched with huge domestic market, with updated meaningful structures of technology, down stream
potential, the quality conscious institutions and stable economy.

And accordingly, 29% growth has taken place in China, 17% in India, 12% in Taiwan, 5% in Indonesia and 6% each in Korea &
Turkey between 1994 and 2002. Interestingly, growth in texturising is registered in these countries for the past 3 years adding
approximately 1100 machined in China, 180 in India, 50 machines in Taiwan, 20 machines in Indonesia, 30 machines in Korea
and 90 machines in Turkey. From this, one can easily conclude that China is utilising its fullest potential, Taiwan, Indonesia,
Korea and Turkey have done their best sustainable conditions, whereas India is yet to use its potential fully, by uprooting the
outdated hindering structures. This is very inevitable, & a need of the hour, otherwise India will miss the leadership in the field on
texturising.
