Yarn markets situation improved in 2007 - 08 compared to the 2006 - 07 and RSWM was able to benefit from additional capacities, which became available during this period, especially in grey yarn and Denim. On the cost side, due to global hike in the prices of oil, furnace oil prices are a big cause of worry for the industry. RSWM was able to increase its production of yarn, thanks to the completion of its modernization and expansion plan that started in 2004 - 05. Yarn sales grew by 6.44% to Rs. 229.07 crore in 2011 - 12 from Rs. 215.21 crore in 2010 - 11.

crucial to the product portfolio offered to customers. During 2007 - 08, RSWM Ltd. added 24000 spindles of polyester cotton blended yarn at its Kharigram unit. Manufacturing of 100% viscose yarn at the Rishabhdev plant and open end rotors at the Banswara unit purchased levels 2006 - 07, also achieved full production levels during the previous year.

In 2007 - 08, spindles under 100% cotton yarn increased marginally to 44,000, taking the total capacity of Gray yarn to 1,64,000 spindles. Apart from the increase in production due to addition capacity developed during the year, there were considerable increases in operating efficiencies, as a result of the

modernization of existing plant and machinery.

DYED YARN
Dyed yarn is produced at the Company's Gulabpura and Ringas plants. These are relatively higher value added products and made according to customer specifications of blend, counts and shades. With the amalgamation of Jaipur Polyspin Limited (the Ringas plant),

RSWM has a capacity of around 92,000 spindles for Dyed Synthetic yarn. During the year, the thrust of the business was on developing new products with better margins for a diverse set of the end - use segment which included knitting, Furnishings, home textiles

INTRODUCTION TO THE INDIAN TEXTILE WORLD

The textile industry occupies a unique position in the Indian economy as it contributes significantly to the industrial production, employment generation and foreign exchange earnings. The Indian textile industry is extremely complex and varied with hand - spun and hand woven sector at one of the spectrum and the capital intensive sophisticated mill sector at the other, with the decentralized power loom and knitting sectors coming in between. This industry uses natural fibers - cotton, jute, silk and wool, as well as synthetic / man made fibers - polyester, viscose, nylon, acrylic and their multiple blends. The complex and varied structure of the industry coupled with its close linkage with our ancient culture and tradition provides it with the unique capacity to produce, with the help of latest technological inputs and designs capability, a wide variety of products suitable to the varying consumer tastes and preferences, both within the country and overseas. The textile industry has shown remarkable resilience and grown considerably in terms of installed spindle age, yarn production and output of fabrics and garments. It is the only industry, which is self reliant and complete in value chain i. e . from raw material to the highest value added products - garments / made - ups. Therefore the growth and development of this industry has a significant bearing on the overall development of the Indian economy. Year 2005 (An opportunity knocking at our Door) "Garment Export a rocket propellant for employment generation." The scope of improvement that can be made on the employment front with in a very short span of time with minimum investment, only if the Government of India places it as per priority industry like some of our neighboring countries have. Thus Garment Manufacturing and Export industry that is the real engine

29

of growth for the whole textiles sector in India. With substantial and development of this sector, there is much scope for the growth of Indian textiles for exports. With promise of greater globalization and liberalization, Indian textile industry seems to be looking ahead with both challenges and innovations, to have close look at how the major structural changes in world economy will affect the prospects of Indian textiles Industry. In light of this, a review of Indian textile scenario in particular and the world situation in general will help all sectors of Indian Textile industry to re - organize themselves to face new challenges both known and unknown that may come in future. Thus we find many scopes in the development of Indian Textile Industry.

INDIAN TEXTILES INDUSTRY

Textiles account for 14 percent of Indias industrial production and around 50 per cent of its export earnings. From growing its own raw material (cotton, jute, silk and wool) to providing value added products to consumers (fabrics and garments), the textile industry

covers a wide range of economic activities, including employment generation in both organized and unorganized sectors. Indian fabric is in demand with its ethnic, earthly colored many textures. This conveys that it holds potential if one is ready to innovate.

The textile industry is the largest industry in terms of employment economy, expected to generate 12 million new jobs by 2012. It generates massive potential for employment in the sectors from agricultural to Industrial. Employment opportunities are created when cotton is cultivated. It does not need any exclusive Government support even at present to go further. Only thing needed is to give some directions to organize people to get enough share of the profit to spearhead development.

SEGMENTS
Textile industry is constituted of the following segments Readymade Garments Cotton Textiles including Handlooms (Mill made / Power loom/ Handloom) Man-made Textiles Silk Textiles Woolens Textiles Handicrafts including Carpets Coir

production and records

It is the second largest employer after the agriculture sector in both rural And urban

areas. India has a large pool of skilled low-cost textile workers, experienced in technology skills. Almost all sectors of the textile industry have shown significant achievements. The sector

has shown a 3.66 per cent CAGR over the last five years. Indias cotton textile industry has a high export potential. Cost competitiveness is driving

the penetration of Indian basic yarns and grey fabrics in international commodity markets. Small and flexible batches of apparels can be manufactured in India and can provide a larger variety of casual wears and leisure garments at significantly lower costs.

Besides natural fibers such as cotton, jute and silk, synthetic raw material products such

as polyester staple fiber, polyester filament yarn, acrylic fiber and viscose fiber are produced in India.

CURRENT SCENARIO
Textile exports are targeted to reach $50 billion by 2010, $25 billion of which will go to the US. Other markets include UAE, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Canada, Bangladesh and Japan. The name of these countries with their background can give thousands of insights to a thinking mind. The slant cut that will be producing a readymade garment will sell at a price of 600 Indian rupees, making the value addition to be profitable by 300 %.become competitive; on closer look however, it sounds an opportunity because better material Currently, because of the lifting up of the import restrictions of the multi-fiber arrangement (MFA) since 1st January, 2005 under the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Textiles and Clothing, the market haswill be possible with the traditional inputs so far available with the Indian market.
32

At present, the textile industry is undergoing a substantial re-orientation towards other then clothing segments of textile sector, which is commonly called as technical textiles. It is moving vertically with an average growing rate of nearly two times of textiles for clothing applications and now account for more than half of the total textile output. The processes in making technical textiles require costly machinery and skilled workers. The application that comes under technical textiles are filtration, bed sheets and abrasive materials, healthcare upholstery and furniture, blood-absorbing materials and thermal protection, adhesive tape, seatbelts, and other specialized application and products.

STRENGTHS

India enjoys benefit of having plentiful resources of raw materials. It is one of the largest producers of cotton yarn around the globe, and also there are good resources of fibers like polyester, silk, viscose etc.

There is wide range of cotton fiber available, and has a rapidly developing synthetic fiber industry.

India has great competitiveness in spinning sector and has presence in almost all processes of the value chain.

Availability of highly trained manpower in both, management and technical. The country has a huge advantage due to lower wage rates. Because of low labor rates the manufacturing cost in textile automatically comes down to very reasonable rates.

The installed capacity of spindles in India contributes for 24% share of the world, and it is one of the biggest exporters of yarns in the global market. Having modern functions and favorable fiscal policies, it accounts about yarn. 25% of the world trade in cotton

33

The apparel industry is largest foreign exchange earning sector, contributing 12% of the country's total exports.

The garment industry is very diverse in size, manufacturing facility, type of apparel produced, quantity and quality of output, cost, requirement for fabric etc. It comprises suppliers of ready-made garments for both, domestic or export markets.

WEAKNESS
MASSIVE-FRAGMENTATION:
A major loophole in Indian textile industry is its huge fragmentation in industry structure, which is led by small-scale companies. Despite the government policies, which made this deformation, have been gradually removed now, but their impact will be seen for some time more. Since most of the companies are small in size, the examples of industry leadership are very few, which can be inspirational model for the rest of the industry.

POLITICAL AND GOVERNMENT DIVERSITY:

The reservation of production for very small companies that was imposed with an intention to help out small scale companies across the country, led substantial fragmentation that distorted the competitiveness of industry. However, most of the sectors now have been de-reserved, and major entrepreneurs and corporate are putting-in huge amount of money in establishing big facilities or in expansion of their existing plants. Secondly, the foreign investment was kept out of textile and apparel production. Now, the Government has gradually eliminated these restrictions, by bringing down import duties on capital equipment, offering foreign investors to set up manufacturing facilities in India. In recent years, India has provided a global manufacturing platform to other multi-national companies that manufactures other than textile products; it can certainly provide a base for textiles and apparel companies.

Despite some motivating step taken by the government, other problems still sustains like various taxes and excise imbalances due to diversification into 35 states and Union Territories. However, an outline of VAT is being implemented in place of all other tax diversification, which will clear these imbalances once it is imposed fully.

LABOR LAWS:
In India, labor laws are still found to be relatively unfavorable to the trades, with companies having not more than ideal model to follow a 'hire and fire' policy. Even the companies have often broken their business down into small units to avoid any trouble created by labor unionization. In past few years, there has been movement gradually towards reforming labor laws, and it is anticipated that this movement will uphold the environment more favorable.

DISTANT GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION:

There are some high-level disadvantages for India due to its geographic location. For the foreign companies, it has a global logistics disadvantage due the shipping cost is higher and also takes much more time comparing to some other manufacturing countries like Mexico, Turkey, China etc. The inbound freight traffic has been also low, which affects cost of shipping though, movements of containers are not at reasonable costs.

LACK OF TRADE MEMBERSHIPS:

India is serious lacking in trade pact memberships, which leads to restricted access to the other major markets. This issue made others to impose quota and duty, which put scissors on the sourcing quantities from India.

OPPORTUNITIES

Complete elimination of the quota restrictions under the Multi Fiber Agreement (MFA) by 2005 will provide an expanded opportunity alongside enhanced competition for the Indian textile units, as more markets would be open for access.

35

The government encourages the establishment of 100 per cent export oriented spinning units. According to the 2000-01 Exim policy, all capital goods in the textile sector have been covered by Export Promotion Capital Goods scheme, which attracts 5 per cent customs duty without any countervailing duty.

POLICY INITIATIVES
The government adopted the National Textile policy in 2000 to harness opportunities for increasing Indias share in global trade. The policy aims to increase the value of textile and apparel exports from the current US$ 10 billion to US$ 50 billion by 2010. It also aims to increase cotton productivity by at least 50 per cent and upgrade its quality to international standards.

The government will encourage the establishment of world-class integrated textile complexes and processing units. A scheme for setting up integrated apparel parks has been initiated. This will enable the ready-made garment industry to set up modern units with excellent infrastructure. Rapid implementation of the Textile Up gradation Fund Scheme aimed at providing an impetus to the modernization of textile and jute industries is a priority with the government. A provision of US$ 41 million in 2001-02 and an incentive for modernization is offered by enhancing the depreciation rate of machinery installed under the scheme to 50 per cent per annum.
