The mill & power loom sectors largely cater to the needs of the people who select fine varieties of cloth with sophisticalet processing further use. The corser 7 cheaper varieties of cloth are made in hand loom & khadi industries. These Handloom & Khadi industries are cottage industries and they are mainly situated in rural and semi urban areas. Handloom and Khadi are one of the major source of employment and earnings for a fainly large section of our country's population. Since handloom cloth can not complete with mills technology handloom cloth must be made economical and this can only be done by giving dual advantage of high excise duties on the mill cloths and subsides to the handloom sector. However this is contrary to the social justice.
Generally the hand loom industry produced about one fourth of the cloth in the country.
At present, cotton constitutes 78 percent of the total fibre consumed by the textile industry. According to the Working Group of the planning Commission on textile industry, by the terminal year of the Eighth Plan i.e. 1994-95, the share of cotton will come down to 72 percent. Even then the consumption of cotton will go up from 10.2 million to over 11.5 million bales. We have to step up production of man made fibre/yarn during the current decade in tune with the projected demand. The demand for nylon fibre is anticipated to go up from 67,000 tonnes in 1989-90 to 122,000 tonnes by 1994-95 and to 197,000 tonnes by 2000 AD. Polyester fibre demand is expected to rise from 218,000 tonnes to 400,000 tonnes and further to 640,000 tonnes during the same period. However, the demand for cellulosic fibres/yarns is projected to remain unchanged at 150,000 tonnes. The basic raw material for this fibre is rayon grade wood pulp. For the synthetic fibres/yarns, different raw materials are used.
During the period, 1985-88, the production of polyester/cotton increased from 21 million kg to 61 million kg and that of polyester/viscose blended yarn increased from 50 million kg to 100 million kg. The production of viscose staple fibre increased from 82,784 tonnes in 1983-84 to 1,25,701 tonnes in 1988-89.
