INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY AND ITS PROBLEMS
ONE OF THE OLDEST AND SINGLE LARGEST INDUSTRIAL SECTORS
SHARE OF TEXTILE PRODUCTION IN 50S ORGANIZED SECTOR >75%

EMERGING TRENDS
EMERGENCE OF SYNTHETIC AND BLENDED FABRICS PHENOMENAL EXPANSION OF SPINNING RAPID EXPANSION OF DECENTRALIZED POWERLOOM SECTOR BROUGHT SICKNESS COMPOSIT ORGANIZED SECTOR LARGE NUMBER OF MILLS WENT BANKRUPT 2/3 OF THEM WERE COMPOSIT MILLS

NATIONALIZATION (1967)
SETTING UP OF NATIONAL TEXTILE CORPORATION (NTC) MAIN OBJECTIVE: EMPLOYMENT RELIEF TO THOUSANDS OF WORKERS PRODUCTION OF CONTROLLED CLOTH EXPERIMENT MISERABLY FAILED MANY NTC MILLS CLOSED DOWN
Dec.7,2002 I I T Delhi 9
NEW TEXTILE POLICY (1980)
OBJECTIVE: DEVELOP HARMONIOUSLY MILL, POWERLOOM AND HANDLOOM SECTORS RECOGNITION OF LACK OF MODERNIZATION AS MAIN CAUSE OF SICKNESS 750 CRORE AS TEXTLE MODERNIZATION FUNDS IN 1986

SHIFT IN PRODUCTION PATTERN
1987 GLOBAL INCREASE IN COTTON PRICES SPINNING THOUGH TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED, LABOUR INTENSIVE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES PREFERRED TO BYU YARN FROM DEVELOPING COUNTRIES LED TO YARN EXPORT GROWTH IN INDIA FROM 1987 ONWARDS 5% YARN EXPORT IN 1990 INCREASED TO 22% IN 1997

LIBERALIZATION
DE-LICENSING OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY (1991) IMPORT OF MODERN MACHINES TO SET UP NEW UNITS IMPROVEMENT IN YARN QUALITY INDIA BECAME GLOBAL PLAYER IN YARN EXPORTS
Dec.7,2002 I I T Delhi 12
COLLAPSE OF YARN EXPORTS
IN 1990 70% EXPORT TO QUOTA COUNTRIES 30% TO NON-QUOTA COUNTRIES
AFTER LIBERIZATION INCREASE IN PRODUCTION STAGNANT QUOTA EXPORTS SHOT UP IN NON-QUOTA EXPORS 80% DROP IN QUOTA EXPORTS 20% UNINTENTIIONAL EXPORT DEPENDENCE ON NON-QUOTA COUNTRIES

COLLAPSE OF YARN EXPORTS
IN 1997 CURRENCY CRISIS IN SOUTH EAST ASIAN COUNTRIES SEVERE EFFECT ON EXPORTS EXPORT BELOW COST DUMP EXPORT QUALITY YARN IN DOMESTIC MARKET CRIPPLING EFFECT ON TEXTILE INDUSTRU HUGE OVERSUPPLY POSITION SUNRISE INDUSTRY BECAME SUNSET INDUSTRY

WTO REGIME
MEMBER OF WTO SIGNATORY TO GATT( GENERAL AGREEMENT ON TRADE AND TARRIF) END OF ATC (AGREEMENT OF TEXTILES AND CLOTHING) BY DECEMBER 2004. END OF QUOTA ERA TO FACE THE GLOBAL COMPETITION LIMITED TIME FOR INDUSTRY RESTRUCTURE IMPROVED QUALITY PRODUCTS AT COMPETITIVE PRICE

NEED OF THE HOUR
MODERNIZE TO COMPETE GLOBALLY WITHSTAND CHEAPER IMPORTS FROM CHINA, PAKISTAN AND OTHER SOUTH-EAST ASIAN COUNTRIES
TECHNOLOGY UPGRADATION FUND SCHEME (TUFS) Rs 25 000 CRORE FOR MODERNIZATION 5% RE-IMBERSEMENT OF INTEREST CHARGED BY FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN OPERATION FOR FIVE YEARS FROM APRIL 1999 MARCH 2004

ENVIROMENT LEGISLATION
INDIA IS FIRST COUNTRY TO HAVE CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION FOR ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION. NO SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTAL NORMS FOR TEXTILE SECTOR INDUSTRY SPECIFIC STANDARDS EXIST STRINGENT ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION POORLY EMFORCED JUDICIARY HAS TO INTERVENE TO ENFORCE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES JUDICIARY HAS GOT ITS OWN LIMITATIONS AND CAN NOT ACT AS ENFORCING AGENCY. MAKING LAW ONLY DOES NOT HELP ENVIRONMENT IS A SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY DESIRABLE COMPLIENCE SHOULD COME VOLUNTARILY FROM INDUSTRY AND NOT BY POLICING

IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT
INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY IS ASSOCIATED WITH POLLUTION EXTENT VARIES CONCEPT: TO KEEP POLLUTION LEVEL AS LOW AS POSSIBLE ANOTHER DIMENSION: SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY STANDARDS SAS 1800 NO CHILD LABOUR MINIMUM LABOUR WAGES PROVISION OF HYGIENIC CONDITIONS AT WORK PLACE COMPLIANCE WITH GERMAN BAN INTRODUCED IN 1996

EFFLUENT CHARACTERISTICS
TEXTILE EFFLUENTS GENERALLY ARE COLOURED HIGH BOD HIGH TDS HIGH RATIO BETWEEN BOD AND COD RATIO OF 1:2 TO 1:3 INDICATES GOOD BIODEGRADABILITY IN WOOL RATIO 1:5 INDICATING DIFFICULT BIODEGRADABILITY DUE TO GREASE CONTENT

MANAGING AND AUDITING RESOURCE CONSUMPTION
RESEARCH ASSOCIATIONS DEVELOPED MANUFACTURING NORMS FOR DESIRABLE USAGE OF RESOURCES SUCH AS WATER, LABOUR, ELECTRICITY AND COMMON CHEMICALS NORMS NOT IMPOSED LEGALLY ACT AS GUIDELINES MEMBERMILLS ARE ENCOURAGED TO FOLLOW THESE NORMS RECORD OF SIMPLE MATERIAL BALANCE WORTH EXAMINING THE RECORD OF STORE KEEPER AND PROCESSING DEPRTMENTS TO TRACK LOSSES OF EXPENSIVE AND/OR HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS DURING HANDLING AND PROCESSING

MANAGING AND AUDITING RESOURCE CONSUMPTION
ASSESSMENT AT INTERVALS THE PERFORMANCE OF EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT AND AIR POLLUTION CONTROL EQUIPMENTS IT IS NECESSARY TO EMPLOY A FULL TIME PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL TEAM OR TRAIN SENIOR STAFF AND WORKERS TO UNDERTAKE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING AND AUDIT TASKS COMMITMENT BY TO MANAGEMENT TO ESTABLISH SOUND ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THIS WOULD ALSO IMPROVE THE PRODUCTIVITY AND PROFITABILITY OF THE ORGANIZATION
