 India has a strong base in raw materials
 Cotton dominates the industry
 Nearly 56% of yarn produced is made of cotton
 Country produces nearly 23 varieties of cotton Abundant
 India is the second largest player in the world cotton trade availability of raw
material is one of
the key
 India’s position is strong vis-à-vis other countries in most raw advantages of the
materials Indian textile

Industry fragmented and dominated by small scale units

Spinning Weaving Processing & manufacturing

Composite mills 8% Organised sector 2%

100% = 5.83 million units

100% = 2922 mills  Of the 2300 processors in
India, only 200 units are
integrated with spinning,
weaving or knitting units

units units sector textile manufacturing
39% 53% 67% accounted for by 77,000
small scale units

 The textile industry across the value chain is largely decentralised

 Units mostly independent and small scale in nature, rather than composite units undertaking
all activities together

 Large scope for entry of organised integrated textile manufacturers
