Textile Industry
The textile industry is one of the oldest Indian industries contributing immensely to India’s GDP. The industry has created a unique global recognition for itself. The industry being labour intensive and being the second largest employer, generates millions of job opportunities. There exist great divide in the technology used in the sector with few areas like handloom and handicraft still engaging in traditional techniques of manufacturing and production and the apparels and home décor etc deploying modern machineries for quicker, larger outputs. With a spur in investments in the last five years, the industry is set to experience a major boost due to favourable government schemes and policies and increase in domestic as well as international investments.
