JCT LIMITED PHAGWARA: AN OVERVIEW

In the field of cotton and blended fabrics, JCT has always been a trendsetter. It is
one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of cotton and Synthetic textiles in
the country.
JCT limited Phagwara; a composite unit having spinning, weaving, and processing
facilities. It was incorporated on 28
th
October, 1946 under the name of M/S Jagatjit
Cotton textiles Mills. The establishment of JCT limited was the result of the
decision taken by the government of India under the post war development plan. It
was decided to locate the mill in the north India and after much discussion;
Kapurthala was selected as a site for textile venture. It was M/S Karamchand Bros.
Ltd. Who entered into a final contract with the government of India to set a mill at
Phagwara (Punjab). The disadvantage of unfavourable weather was offset by other
factors such as cheap labour, availability of raw material, and governments aid.
Thus, the company came into existence in 1946. In the initial years, the business
was on a small scale and the company was manufacturing only cotton fabrics. That
is why it is called Jagatjit Cotton Textiles Ltd. Afterwards the company also
started manufacturing cotton yarn, and nylon 6 filament yarns. JCT has made a big
dent in synthetic markets by producing plain and fancy suiting; both piece dyed
and fibber dyed and dyed yarn shirting in innumerable designs and weaves to cater
the different segments of the market
The policy of management to reinvest its profits year after year led the mill to grow
rapidly into one of the leading textiles mill in the country. In 1995, Rs. 300 crores
was invested for the modernization of the Phagwara unit. This unit is now one of
the most modern units with the state of art technology.
The management for over three decades has implemented the concept of
participative management. The workers/ employees and their representatives are
fully involved in the management and running the affairs of the company. This
policy of management has generated tremendous goodwill for the company
amongst its employees and the result is that the company has a committed
workforce of about 5000 workers and 530 employees and the most cordial
employee- employer relationship.
As this is the era of cutthroat competition, JCT believes in quality, which results in
leadership, and as result, this has led them to tremendous growth. JCT fabrics have
captured profitable sections in the market. There has been a constant growth in the
man-made fibber with a wide variety of nylon and polyester filament yarn.
LOCATION OF JCT
The mill is situated in Phagwara town on G.T. Road, the national highway number
-1. It is 40 kilometres from Ludhiana towards Amritsar. The location of the mill is
of great advantage as transportation of goods is cheaper, easier and quick.
JCT PHAGWARA COMPLEX
The complex consists of a mill and the Thapar colony. In the mill, there is a main
production unit, administration offices, go downs, stores, canteen, dispensary, and
the turbines for the generation of electricity.
The residential complex known as Thapar colony is for the officers and other
employees. It includes gymnasium and club. The whole complex, thus, is like a
small town in itself.
