Reforms Make Textile Sector Attractive For Investments

On Wednesday, 7th Dec 2016 the Union Cabinet approved a


set of reforms, including simplified labor laws and technology
upgradation for the Made-ups Sector. The interventions are
likely to boost employment in the textiles sector and create
employment for up to 11 lakh persons, lead to increase in
exports and augmented benefits to the workers in the textiles
and apparel sector.
Made-ups include products like towels and bed sheets and are
the second largest employer in the textiles sector after apparel.
The Government will grant production incentive through enhanced Technology Upgradation
Fund Scheme (TUFS), subsidy of further 10% for Made-ups similar to what is offered to
garments based on additional production and employment after three years.
On labour laws front, the Government increased the allowable overtime up to 100 hours per
quarter in Made-ups manufacturing sector in addition to making employees contribution to
EPF optional for employees earning less than Rs 15,000 per month.
These incentives are element of the Rs 6,006-crore package announced for the Apparel

Made-ups sector. This will facilitate India in creating huge employment, earning foreign
