Technical Textiles in India

Total domestic production worth Rs. 35327 crores (2007-08), likely to grow to Rs. 62438 crores (2012-13) Total market size including exports worth Rs. 37118 crores, likely to become Rs. 66634 crores by 2012-13 Total employment - 8.8 lakh persons Total Exports - Rs. 2759 crores (2007-08) Total Imports - Rs. 3897 crores (20007-08)

Our Strength

Large pool of educated technical manpower Huge domestic market One of the fastest growing economies Self sufficiency in case of most widely used technical textile fibers Substantial textile manufacturing network Comparatively higher growth rate prospects in the sector

Our Weaknesses
Production is limited and fragmented
Lack of investments by the industry Poor R & D facilities and lack of innovative and high end technologies

Lack of skilled workforce for the sector

Lack of adequate legislative measures for ensuring level playing field for domestic industry.

Opportunities

One of the fastest growing economies- All sectors

Massive infrastructure development- Buildtech & Geotech Mega auto manufacturing projects, Nano & othersAutotech Increased spending in agriculture & irrigationAgritech Commonwealth games and its spin off- Sportech Increased environmental awareness- Oektech Re-reviving real estate growth - Buildtech

Opportunities
Fast recovering manufacturing sector Indutech Increasing consumer spending Clothtec, Hometech Increasing exports, storage, dispatch of goods, travelers- Packtech

Opportunities we wish were not there:

Increased risk of communicable diseases (H1N1 Flu virus) & other communicable health hazards Medtech Modernization drive of police, paramilitary and defense forces to combat terrorism and naxalism Protech

Threats

Absence of level playing field vis--vis global players in terms of mandatory use of technical textiles in sectors like geotech, medtech, protech etc. Proven Technology over the world in almost all the applications, but local hesitancy in its acceptance at sizable scales Global players more interested in selling rather than outsourcing from or investing and manufacturing in India

Initiatives by Ministry of Textiles to promote technical textiles

Concessional rate of 5 percent customs duty on

most of the technical textile machinery

Reduction in excise duty on man-made fibre and

filament yarns : major raw material for technical textiles.

Coverage of technical textile machinery under TUFS.

Government Initiatives

Under TUFS, 10% capital subsidy on identified technical textile machinery has been provided in line with processing machinery. Withdrawal of excise duty exemption on sanitary napkins / baby diapers / incontinence diapers. Anomaly in customs duty has been removed on finished goods vis--vis raw material, i.e., Aramid fabrics vis--vis aramid yarn.

Centres of Excellence (CE)

In line with U.K. System, Centers of Excellence for four segments have been launched by the Govt.
Agencies
BTRA and ATIRA (Mumbai, Ahmadabad) SITRA with A.C. College of Technology ( Coimbatore) NITRA & IIT, Delhi (Ghaziabad)

Segment

Geotech
Meditech Protech

SASMIRA & MANTRA & Navsari Agricultural University & IIT, Delhi ( Mumbai)

Projections for Eleventh Five Year Plan

During the Eleventh Plan with regulatory

framework, technical textile industry is expected to register a growth of 24.57%.

Without regulatory framework growth rate

is likely to be about 11%.

Why Technotex ?

New Initiative by Ministry to realize the untapped potential of the sector Creating awareness for a better, secure and sustainable life Ensuring production of enough technical textiles to make this difference Creating synergy between the Government, Industry and the consumers Attempting to raise the Indian fibre consumption at par with world trend of 60:40 in favor of manmade fibres
