scale industry (SSI)* Restrictions on installation of

automatic looms

Emphasis on increasing scale

Post 1985

Many segments (especially readymade garments,

knitwear and hosiery) deserved from reservation

for SSI Schemes for technology upgradation and

modernisation introduced Multifibre approach adopted; emphasis on man

made and synthetic fibres, in addition to cotton Taxation structure made simpler

Measures aimed at

improving competitiveness

of industry to face a post

quota regime*Latest definition: Investment in plant & machinery of INR 10 million for

most industries, INR 50 million for specified industries like hosiery, hand

tools, drugs & pharmaceuticals, sports goods and stationery items

There are several other industry specific advantages arising out of the unique nature of the industry in India

Large raw material base India has a rich raw material base, especially cotton which has seen improved productivity in the country

under the Cotton Technology Mission Wide variety of cotton produced India, making India capable of catering to various segments of world

trade Indian industry has ability to handle different materials - cotton, wool, silk and jute with equal skill

Positive developments in the Textile Policy Reservation for small scale sector, especially key segments removed over last few years Fiscal anomalies in terms of excise duty structure removed

Flexibility in production Capabilities across the entire value chain within the country reduces lead time for production and

reduces intermediate shipping time Indian companies have flexibility and skilled manpower to handle small orders with complex designs

Product development and design capabilities Several institutes in India for textile development, the major one being National Institute of Fashion

Technology (NIFT) Several leading colleges also offer courses in Textile Engineering

Business opportunities exist for foreign players

Investing in India

Sourcing from India

Export to India
