INDUSTRY PROFILE
TEXTILE INDUSTRY
India Textile Industry is one of the leading textile industries in the world. Though was
predominantly unorganized industry even a few years back, but the scenario started changing
after the economic liberalization of Indian economy in 1991. The opening up of economy gave
the much-needed thrust to the Indian textile industry, which has now successfully become one of
India textile industry largely depends upon the textile manufacturing and export. It also plays a
major role in the economy of the country. India earns about 27% of its total foreign
exchange through textile exports. Further, the textile industry of India also contributes
nearly 14% of the total industrial production of the country. It also contributes around 3%
to the GDP of the country. India textile industry is also the largest in the country in terms
of employment generation. It not only generates jobs in its own industry, but also opens up
scopes for the other ancillary sectors. India textile industry currently generates employment
to more than 35 million people. It is also estimated that, the industry will generate 12
GLOBAL SCENARIO
The textile and clothing trade is governed by the Multi-Fibre Agreement (MFA) which
came into force on January 1, 1974 replacing short-term and long-term arrangements of the
1960’s which protected US textile producers from booming Japanese textiles exports. Later, it
was extended to other developing countries like India, Korea, Hong Kong, etc. which had
acquired a comparative advantage in textiles. Currently, India has bilateral arrangements under
MFA with USA, Canada, Australia, countries of the European Commission, etc. Under MFA,
foreign trade is subject to relatively high tariffs and export quotas restricting India’s penetration
into these markets. India was interested in the early phasing out of these quotas in the Uruguay
Round of Negotiations but this did not happen due to the reluctance of the developed countries
like the US and EC to open up their textile markets to Third World imports because of high
labour costs. With the removal of quotas, exports of textiles have now to cope with new
challenges in the form of growing non-tariff / non-trade barriers such as growing regionalization
Nevertheless, it must be realised that the picture is not all rosy. It is now being admitted
universally and even officially that the year 2005 AD is likely to present more of a challenge
than opportunity. If the industry does not pay attention to the very vital needs of modernisation,
quality control, technology up gradation, etc. it is likely to be left behind. Already, its
comparative advantage of cheap labour is being nullified by the use of outmoded machinery.
With the dismantling of the MFA, it becomes imperative for the textile industry to take on
competitors like China, Pakistan, etc., which enjoy lower labour costs. In fact the seriousness of
the situation becomes even more apparent when it is realised that the non-quota exports have not
really risen dramatically over the past few years. The continued dominance of yarn in exports of
cotton, synthetics, and blends, is another cause for worry while exports of fabrics are not
growing. The lack of value added products in textile exports do not augur well for India in a
non-MFA world.
Textile exports alone earn almost 25 percent of foreign exchange for India yet its share in
global trade is dismal, having declined from 10.9 percent in 1955 to 3.23 percent in 1996. More
significantly, the share of China in world trade in textiles, in 1994, was 13.24 percent, up from
4.36 percent in 1980. Hong Kong, too, improved its share from 7.06 percent to 12.65 percent
over the same period. Growth rate, in US$ terms, of exports of textiles, including apparel, was
over 17 percent from 1993-94 to 1995-96. It declined to 10.5 percent in 1996-97 and to 5
percent in 1997-98. Another disconcerting aspect that reflects the declining international
competitiveness of Indian textile industry is the surge in imports in the last two years. Imports
grew by 12 percent in dollar terms in 1997-98, against an average of 5.8 percent for all imports
into India. Imports from China went up by 50 percent while those from Hong Kong jumped by
23 percent.
The history of textiles in India dates back to nearly five thousand years to the days of the
Harappan civilization. Evidences that India has been trading silk in return for spices from the 2nd
century have been found. This shows that textiles are an industry which has existed for centuries
in our country. The history of apparel and textiles in India dates back to the use of mordant dyes
and printing blocks around 3000 BC. The foundations of the India's textile trade with other
countries started as early as the second century BC. A hoard of block printed and resistdyed
fabrics, primarily of Gujarati origin, discovered in the tombs of Fostat, Egypt, are the proof of
large scale Indian export of cotton textiles to the Egypt in medieval periods.
During the 13th century, Indian silk was used as barter for spices from the western countries.
Towards the end of the 17th century, the British East India Company had begun exports of
Indian silks and several other cotton fabrics to other economies. These included the famous fine
Muslin cloth of Bengal, Orissa and Bihar. Painted and printed cottons or chintz was widely
practiced between India, Java, China and the Philippines, long before the arrival of the
Europeans.
POSITION OF INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY
The Indian textile industry contributes about 14 per cent to industrial production, 4 per cent to
the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and 17 per cent to the country’s export earnings,
according to the Annual Report 2009-10 of the Ministry of Textiles. It provides direct
employment to over 35 million workers directly and it accounts for 21% of the total employment
generated in the economy and is the second largest provider of employment after agriculture.
Some of the textile clusters in which productions happens are very huge and significant for the
According to the Ministry of Textiles, Export target in textiles in 2010 at USD is 50 billion.
the cumulative production of cloth during April’09- March’10 has increased by 8.3 per cent as
compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. Moreover, total textile exports have
increased to US$ 18.6 billion during April’09- January’10, from US$ 17.7 billion during the
corresponding period of the previous year, registering an increase of 4.95 per cent in rupee terms.
Further, the share of textile exports in total exports has increased to 12.36 per cent during
As per the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) data released by the Central Statistical
Organisation (CSO), cotton textiles has registered a growth of 5.5 per cent during April March
2009-10, while wool, silk and man-made fibre textiles have registered a growth of 8.2 per cent
while textile products including wearing apparel have registered a growth of 8.5 per cent.
The textile sector has increased their investment in projects to upgrade their equipment amid
fierce market competition and to meet the growing demand for more textile products. Total
investment in the textile industry between 2004 and 2008 was around Rs.65,478 crore in India,
which is expected to reach Rs.1,50,600 crore by 2012. This enhanced investment would generate
17.37 million jobs-- 12.02 million direct and 5.35 million indirect—by 2012.
addition to China, other developing countries are emerging as serious competitive threats to
India. Looking at export shares, Korea (6%) and Taiwan (5.5%) are ahead of India, while Turkey
(2.9%) has already caught up and others like Thailand (2.3%) and Indonesia (2%) are not much
further behind. The reason for this development is the fact that India lags behind these countries
in investment levels, technology, quality and logistics. If India were competitive in some key
segments it could serve as a basis for building a modern industry, but there is no evidence of
In 2006, the largest apparel manufacturers and exporters were countries from the Asia-
Pacific region which included countries like China, Hong Kong, Phillipines, Malaysia, Indonesia,
Bangladesh, Srilanka, Pakistan, Thailand and India. The other major apparel manufacturing
finishing, and apparel-making enterprises. The figure below depicts the overall value chain and
SPINNING MILLS
With an installed capacity of 40 million spindles, India accounts for about 22 per cent of the
world’s spindle capacity. In 2005, India’s spinning sector consisted of about 1,161 small-scale
independent firms and 1,566 larger scale independent units. Independent spinning mills account
KNIT/WEAVING/KNITTING UNITS
India’s weaving and knitting sector is highly fragmented, small-scale, and labour-intensive. The
woven fabric production industry can be divided into three sectors: powerloom, handloom and
mill sector. In 2005 it consisted of about 3.9 million handlooms, 1.8 million power looms, and
0.1 million looms in the organised sector. The decentralised power loom sector accounts for 95
per cent of the total cloth production. The knitted fabric forms 18 per cent of the total fabric
production.
Processing Units
The processing industry is largely decentralised and marked by hand processing units and
independent processing units. Composite mill sectors are very few falling into the organized
category. Overall, about 2,300 processors are operating in India, including about 2,100
independent units and 200 units that are integrated with spinning, weaving or knitting units.
Small-scale fabricators dominate garment manufacturing. Most garment manufacturing units fare
reasonably well on the technology count. The bulk of apparel is produced by about 77,000 small-
(subcontractors). The fragmented structure of the industry provides the advantage of a large pool
of skilled workers in different areas of textile manufacturing, and also gives scope for entry of
organized integrated textile manufacturers. Small scale units in different sectors can also be
leveraged as a supply base for sourcing materials at low cost. Apart from these advantages, the
industry has also been experiencing consistent growth across different sectors, making it one of
CONTRIBUTION TO ECONOMY:
With 3.9 million handlooms, India is the highest handloom producing country in the
World. 30% of the total export income is generated by textile alone, it is second largest Employer
industry after agriculture. The textile industry constitutes approximately 14% of country's total
industrial production.
In spite of the Chinese dominance, India has a fair opportunity to grab a substantial stake
in the projected garment market share. According to PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry
(PHDCCI), post-MFA, India's market share in the US is expected to go up to 15 per cent from
the present 4 per cent. In the EU, the market share increase is expected to be 50 per cent from the

There is no denying India is competitive enough and will become even more competitive
once its infrastructure issues are sorted out. China has probably already reached its peak and

Here we are conducting the Porter’s five forces model to analyze the Textile industry. The
purpose is to arrive at some strategies that BSL Ltd. can adopt in order to be in a better
competitive position.
1. Brand Loyalty
The existing players have been in the industry for a long period of time and have established a
good reputation with their customers in domestic as well as foreign market. This has resulted in
the high brand loyalty by customers. But this will not act as a potential barrier for other
companies because most of the Indian textile companies operate in B-To-B segment and all the
players keep competing among themselves for new consignments from the clients.
Abundant availability of raw material is one of the key advantages of the Indian textile industry;
this also gives a major opportunity to Indian textile industry and creates a barrier for foreign
manufacture of textiles
Cost advantage arises mainly from the large pool of low cost but skilled manpower
available in India
In case of textured yarn and fabric, India is less competitive, which is a result of the
production
With 4.13 million metric tons of production, country accounts for almost
million hectares)
India leads globally in jute with its annual production of 7.5 million bales in
2008-09
Silk - Highly remunerative cash crop, with minimum investment and sustained attractive
returns
India accounts for 18% of world raw silk production (15.74 thousand tones
production in 2008-09)
India has the unique distinction of being endowed with all 4 varieties of silk -
Wool - With its annual production of 50.7 thousand tons of raw wool fiber, India
3. Economies of Scale:
As earlier mentioned that the existing players are operating in this industry for a long
period and also have established long term relationship with their customer.. Over a period of
time these companies have customized their products as per the needs of the customers therefore
customers also prefer to still to the existing suppliers rather than moving to others as there is a
high switching cost involved here and if the customers switch to new suppliers than again he
5. Government Regulations:
Historically the textile industry in India has been reserved for the small scale sector,
which has been exempted from taxes, thus discouraging investments in increasing
scale
The government, through its various Budget announcements has sought to rationalize
taxes
Budget 2002-03: Textiles brought under the ambit of Cenvat (credit for duties
Budget 2003-04: Cenvat extended across the entire textile chain to include
fabrics, made-ups and apparel; excise duty exemptions on many sectors and
non cotton textiles (except man made fibers, polyester filament yarn, nylon
quota regime.
ATTRACT INVESTMENTS:

UPGRADING INFRASTRUCTURE:
clusters in textiles
Since this industry is highly fragmented there is always high probability during the boom phase
that many new players could enter this industry which would lead to a price war and ultimately
end up with the bankruptcy of some players or consolidation of industry. So, this is a threat to the
existing players.
But also the existing players work a lot on cost efficiencies therefore the threat of new entrant is
2. Industry Demand:
In the current scenario textile exports have declined drastically and even in domestic demand
there is a little slowdown. Due to which textile companies are working on reducing cost by ways
of reducing the work force, decrease in operation cost etc. Also this will evoke more rivalry
among the existing players as they all will like to maintain their market share in spite of the
slump in industry
3. Exit Barrier:
This is not just a labour intensive industry but even the cost involved in plant setup is very high
along with that with the invent of many new technologies many companies have adapted to
modern techniques to remain competitive in industry as well as to produce better products for
Therefore because of high involvement and emotional attachment with the business as it has been
a traditional business for generations for many companies they still prefer to stick and continue
with the business. But in the current scenario many textile mills have closed down because of
deep cut in demand and high operational cost due to severe global crisis.
Indian textile companies are facing a tough competition from Chinese, Brazilian
and other south east asian countries like Vietnam, Indonesia as they are able to produce at
Indian textile industry is no more just a mass producer of textile rather it has
moved into niece segment and has developed capability to produce finest quality of fabric
which provides them distinctive competencies against other countries as well as small
Therefore overall buying power of buyer will defer from company to company. Companies like
Arvind mill, Raymond, Aditya Birla group have achieved certain degree of distinctive
competencies therefore with them buying power of buyer is negated to large extent against their
competencies.
But many small companies who are mass producer of textile face a strong buying power of
buyer.
Here again bargaining power of supplier dictated by the segment that they are targeting to, for a
niece players and companies who have achieved operational excellence can dictate terms to
buyers but for small players who just produce for mass consumption do not have much say in the
business deal and the prices are mostly dictated by the buyer.
V. THE THREAT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCT
Textile itself is a very broader term and is a solution to a very basic need of any human being
therefore there is as such no substitute to this but within the textile industry there are many
substitutes to different category of textiles. In India there are various types of textile produced
There is always a risk of substitution of one type with the other type also there is constant
research carried out to develop new types of textiles but combining different textiles in different

Functional Structure is a way of putting specialists to work. Under functional structure, a staff
specialist is given command or line authority over other personnel in regard to his special field.
This structure gives staff personnel temporary limited line authority for specified tasks.
Functional organization has an advantage of making full use of expert knowledge. It reduces
bureaucratic delays and enhances organizational flexibility. It ensures increased efficiency and
economy of operation.
3.1.3 FEDERATIONS
One variant of the divisional form which has a particular relevance because of its human
resource implications is the 'federation', a loosely connected arrangement of businesses with a
single holding company or separate firms in alliance. This form of organization has attracted
criticism from stock market analysts who find difficulty in comprehending its subtle informality.
PRODUCTION FUNCTION
Production of a yarn from cotton is a long and complicated process. Cotton pass through many
machines and stages before becoming final product. The company buys Ginned Cotton ( Sankar-
