I. Industry Structure And Developments

The Indian Textiles industry is extremely varied, with the hand-spun and hand-woven Textiles sectors at one end of the spectrum, while the capital intensive sophisticated mills sector at the other end of the spectrum. The close linkage of the Textile industry to agriculture (for raw materials such as cotton) and the ancient culture and traditions of the country in terms of Textiles make the Indian Textiles sector unique in comparison to the industries of other countries, it has the capacity to produce a wide variety of products suitable to different market segments.

India has a very powerful and impressive cotton yarn and fabric business sector that will now be looking at what it can achieve in the non-cotton and cotton/man-made blends and 100-percent man-made textiles. The sector appears to have the confidence and capability to shift its focus towards Indias growing man-made textile industry.

II. Opportunities and Challenges

The Textiles industry is labour intensive and is one of the largest employers. The future for the Indian Textile industry looks encouraging in the long term, backed by both strong domestic consumption as well as export demand.

Competing with other progressing countries, striking a balance between demand and supply considering Environmental and international labour laws are the major challenges.

Being the largest employer in India coupled with strong industry linkages with the rural economy augurs Indian textile industry as one of the most significant sectors with an incremental growth potential. Rural economy has seen a spurt in income levels the last few years and this is the right time to juxtapose their synergies to promote the industry growth. Being one of the key focus sectors under the Governments "Make in India campaign is a testimony to the huge growth potential the industry holds, both in terms of infrastructure development and skill improvement. Globally, favourable trade policy reforms would also allow the industry to expand its trade partners, improve its export competitiveness and contribute substantially to the nations income.

However, the growth prospects are constrained by many challenges including rising input costs (wages, power and interest cost), restrictive labour laws. Such issues need to be addressed to result in unlocking maximum industry growth potential.
