Cloth Manufacturing - An Ever-Evolving Growth Sector

-

How did cloth manufacturing evolve in India? 

Historical evidence suggests that the weaving and spinning of cotton existed during the Harappan Civilisation, about 4000 years back. Studies indicate that large quantities of silk from northern parts of India were traded with western countries through the silk route in China. 



The clothing sector kept thriving during the Mughal empire and the British Raj in India as Bengal and Gujrat emerged as the main production hubs. 

Cotton yarn and jute continue to be the mainstay of the industry with artificial fibres, such as nylon and polyester entering the market in the early 20th century. 

What are the key components of the textile industry in India?

The basic structure of the clothing sector comprises of the following components:


• Spinning: This is the process of converting cotton or artificial fibre into weavable yarn. 

• Weaving: Knitting or weaving converts the yarn into fabric. This sector consists of 3.9 million handlooms and 380000 ‘powerlooms’.

• Fabric finishing: The processing prior to the manufacturing of cloth includes dyeing, printing, and other cloth preparation techniques. There are about 2300 processors in India. 

• Finished clothing: There are approximately 77000 domestic manufacturers, exporters, and subcontractors engaged in the production of apparel. 

• Composite mills: These are relatively large set-ups where spinning, weaving, and at times fabricating are done under one roof.  

What is the present state of the Indian clothing industry? 

After agriculture, textile is India’s foremost industry employing around 4.5 crore people. There are more than 35 Lakhs handloom workers spread across the country. The sector contributes nearly 14% of the total industrial production and accounts for about 30% of total exports. 

India’s clothing industry is growing at a CAGR of 10% and is expected to touch $190 billion by 2025-26. 

The largest cotton producer in the world, India produced more than 36 million bales of cotton during the production season of 2021-22. Exports of textile and apparel stood at approximately $44 billion in FY22. 

The industry attracted almost $4 billion in FDI from Apr 2000- Mar 2022. 

In May 2022, the MSME ministry inaugurated the Center of Excellence for Khadi (CoEK) at Delhi to produce innovative fabrics and garments for the domestic and overseas market. 

A total of $1.62 billion was allocated to the textile industry in the 2022-23 union budgets.
