Cotton Textiles:
Cotton textiles were traditionally produced with hand spinning and
handloom weaving techniques.
Power-looms came into use after the 18th century.
During the colonial period, England destroyed the Indian textiles
industry.
At present, there are 1600 cotton and synthetic textile mills in India.
Almost 80% of them are in the private sector.
Location of Cotton Textile Industry:
This industry was earlier concentrated in the cotton belt of Maharashtra
and Gujarat.
This industry supports many other industries; like chemical and dyes,
mill stores, packaging materials and engineering works.
Spinning still continues to be centralized in Maharashtra, Gujarat and
Tamil Nadu. However, weaving is highly decentralized and there are
many weaving centres in the country.

objective to increase productivity, improve quality and ensure
good prices for the jute farmers. Due to growing global concern
for environment friendly and biodegradable material; the future of
jute looks bright. USA, Canada, Russia, UAE, UK and Australia
are the main markets.

Special features
Special features
Seasonal
More suited to the cooperative sector.
In recent years, there has been a growing
tendency to shift and concentrate in the
southern and western states; especially in
Maharashtra.
The cooler climate of this region ensures a
longer crushing season.
Problem faced
Seasonal nature of industry,
Old and inefficient methods of production,
Transport delay and the need to maximize the
use of baggage are the major challenges for
this industry.
