INTRODUCTION:
1.1
Developing countries having both textile and clothing capacity may be able to
prosper in the new competitive environment from 1 st January, 2005 under the regime of
Free Trade. In post MFA market, Indian entrepreneurs are estimating the potential
export to grow by 185%. This post MFA free trade era will be completely dominated by
the concept “Quality” in the manufactured goods. As a result, the textile industry in
developing countries will face intensified competition in both their export and domestic
markets.
1.2 As a result of various initiatives taken by the Indian government, there have been
new investments of over Rs.50, 000.00 crore in the textile industry in the last 5-6 years.
Nine textile majors invested Rs.2, 600.00 crores and plan to invest another Rs.6, 400.00
crores. Further, India‟s cotton production increased by 57% over the last 5 years; and 3
million additional spindles and 30,000 shuttleless looms were installed. The industry
expects investments of Rs.1, 40,000.00 crores in this sector in the post-MFA phase.
Vision 2010 for textile formulated by the Government of India after intensive interaction
with the industry and Export Promotion Councils to capitalize on the upbeat mood aims
to increase India‟s share in world‟s textile trade from the current 4% to 8% by 2010 and
to achieve export value of US $ 50b by 2010. Vision 2010 for textiles envisages growth
in Indian textile economy from the current US $ 37b to US $ 85b by 2010; creation of 12
million new jobs in the textile sector; and modernization and consolidation for creating a
globally competitive textile industry.
1.3
In view of the above, there will be opportunities as well as challenges for the
Indian textile industry in the post – MFA era. But, India has natural advantages which
can be capitalized on strong raw material base – cotton, man-made fibres, jute, silk;
large production capacity (spinning – 21% of world capacity and weaving – 33% of
world capacity but of low technology); vast pool of skilled manpower; entrepreneurship;
flexibility in production process; and long experience with US/EU (European Union). At
the same time, there are constraints relating to fragmented industry constraints of
processing, quality of cotton, concerns over power cost, labour reforms and other
infrastructure constraints and bottlenecks. E.g. cost of power was Rs.8.00 per garment
in India whereas in China it was only Rs.2.00 per garment.
1.4
The textile industry is undergoing a major reorientation towards non-clothing
applications of textiles, known as technical textiles, which are growing roughly at twice
the rate of textiles for clothing applications and now account for more than half of total
textile production.
The processes involved in producing technical textiles require
expensive equipments and skilled workers and are, for the moment, concentrated in
developed countries. Technical textiles have many applications including bed sheets;
furniture and healthcare upholstery; filtration and abrasive materials; thermal protection
and multiple other specialized products and applications. India must take adequate
measures for capturing its market by promoting research and development in this
sector.
Page 2 of 55
1.5
The Indian textile industry is passing through a critical phase in view of the
ongoing globalization process under WTO Era. The Industry is now facing challenges
from different quarters. Now, foreign buyers will import textile goods from India, if and
only if, the quality of the textiles is upto the mark and the price is competitive. The
importers of textiles have already revised the quality specifications of the various
products and made them very stringent. Further, the European importers of textiles are
now incorporating ecological specifications also to ensure the safety of the textile
products. Apart from this, the industry has to compete and withstand cheaper imports
from China, Japan, Pakistan and other south East Asian countries.
1.6
The Government of India has initiated several measures to strengthen the
industry, particularly in the area of technology, eco-friendliness and quality improvement,
with the objective of making the Indian textile products of superior quality and price
competitive. The Government has provided financial assistance during the last 10 years
for the creation of additional testing facilities at all the textile manufacturing centres to
enable the industry to evaluate and comply with stringent quality specifications and eco
regulations being stipulated by the importers of textiles. Measures have also been taken
to modernize the PSCs under the Power loom up gradation programme for imparting
training to workers on modern looms to acquire required skill and knowledge.
2.
With the end of quota regime since January 2005, the exporters have realized
that it is absolutely necessary to improve the quality of textiles manufactured in India for
a sustained growth of export from India. The quality consciousness and culture for
testing have become very significant in Indian Textile Industry and accordingly, the
textile materials are being tested for physical, chemical and eco parameters to establish
the quality standards of the product. New standards are also being formulated by the
standards bodies to meet the latest challenges posed by the ever-increasing list of test
parameters. To ascertain these properties by testing of textiles, it is required that
laboratory should be equipped well to test the parameters required by the buyers abroad
as per the equipment and methods prescribed in the international standards. The
infrastructure for such testing/R&D by BTRA is not adequate in certain areas and hence
it is decided to upgrade / strengthen the existing textile testing/R&D facilities available in
the laboratories of BTRA. Further, Ministry of Textile, Government of India has
designated the BTRA as “Centre of Excellence in Geotextiles”.
3.
Accordingly, BTRA has decided to upgrade the equipment/procure new
instruments/Machines for various laboratories of BTRA to broaden the spectrum of
testing/R&D services to the textile and clothing industry. The various testing /research
equipments required by these laboratories are now being procured through the current
tender.
