3. Introduction
ī§ In modern times industries have become very
important part of an economy.
ī§ They provide employment to large labour
force and contribute significantly in the total
national wealth/income.
4. Importance of Industrial
Development:
ī§ utilization of natural resources
ī§ enhanced capital formation
ī§ increase in national income and foreign
exchange
ī§ Increase in job opportunities.
ī§ Agriculture and industry contribution to
national economy.
6. FACTORS IN THE LOCATION OF
INDUSTRIES:
ī§ Availability of raw materials: - availability of
raw materials is the major factors affecting the
location of the industry. An agro based industry
will be located in agriculture dominating areas
where as mineral based industry will be located
in mineral dominating areas.
ī§ Source of Power: - most of the industries are
located near the source of power. i.e near coal
field and hydro power.
ī§ Labour: - labour intensive industries mostly
concentrate in densely populated areas or
labourers migrate to the industrial centre.
7. ī§ Transport: - transport system helps in the
movement of goods and raw material and to
carry finished goods to the market. Heavy
industries like Iron & steel industry are
located near railway stations or ports.
ī§ Market: - nearness to market is essential for
quick disposal of manufactured goods and for
purchasing raw material and also it reduces
the cost of transportation. Most of the
industries concentrate in big cities â market
and infrastructure.
ī§ Government Policies: - it plays an important
part in determining the location of industry.
11. On the Basis of
capital or money
and size:
large scale
industries
small scale
industries
cottage
industries
12. 1. On the Basis of capital
or money and size:
ī§ large scale industries- employ large no. of
labourers, huge investment, e.g âcotton or
jute textile
ī§ small scale industries; - less labourers,
small investment, industries run by
individuals
ī§ cottage industries artisans set up in their
own houses, work with wood, cane,etc.
e.g. handloom,
15. On the Basis of Raw-Material
and Finished goods:
ī§ Heavy industries: - use heavy & bulky raw
materials, produce products which are heavy and
bulky. Iron and steel industries are example.
ī§ Light industries: - use light raw materials and
produce light finished products. Electric fans and
sewing machines are light industries.
26. Textile Industry
ī§ predominated in the Indian economy,
employment generation & foreign exchange
earning.
ī§ It adds about 14% to the industrial production
and about 4% to the GDP.
ī§ Provides employment âabout 35million.
ī§ Major export earning
29. COTTON TEXTILE:
ī§ Among the oldest industries in India.
ī§ The first mill was established in Mumbai in
1854.
ī§ During colonial period traditional industries
set back as it unable to compete with mill-
made cloth from England.
ī§ Today cotton textile is the largest industries
in India.
32. Importance of cotton textile
industry:
ī§ Close association with agriculture â provides
living to farmers, workers engaged in ginning,
spinning, weaving, dyeing, designing, packaging,
tailoring and sewingâĻ
ī§ It supports other industries like chemicals, dyes,
mill stores, etc.
ī§ The major share of Indiaâs exports comes from
cotton textile industry.
ī§ Most of the mills are concentrated in the states of
Maharashtra, Gujarat andTamil Nadu.
34. ī§ Maharshtra: the main reasons of phenomenal
growth of cotton textile in Mumbai.
ī§ Mumbai enjoys humid climate which is essential
for thread does not break so frequently
ī§ Mumbai is a very important part which helps in the
import machinery
ī§ Cheap hydroelectricity
ī§ The black âcotton soil in the hinterland of Mumbai
provides cotton as the basic raw materials.
ī§ There is ready market for Mumbai
ī§ GUJARAT: second largest producer of cotton
textile,Ahmedabad is the second largest center.
35. ī§ India exports yarn to Japan
ī§ Cotton goods to U.S.A., U.K., Russia, East
European countries, Nepal, Singapore, Sri
lanka and African countires.
36. Problems of Indian cotton
textile industry:
ī§ Low production per hectare
ī§ Problem of frequently switch off power
ī§ Traditional machinery and need for
modernization.
ī§ High cost and competition in foreign market.
37. 2. JUTE INDUSTRY:
ī§ Most of the jute mills are concentrated inWest
Bengal.
ī§ Kolkata - important jute centre textile in India.
Importance of the Jute:
ī§ Labour intensive industry âprovides
employment
ī§ India is the second largest exporter of jute
products after Bangladesh.
ī§ Many products of jute industry are
manufactured by the cottage and small scale
industry.
38. Jute textile products
West Bengal: Largest concentration of jute
industry. Over 84% of jute goods
production of India
39.
40. Factors responsible for high
concentration of jute mills in the
Hugli basin:
īļRaw Material: the fertile Ganga-Brahmaputra
delta grows about 90% of Indiaâs jute and
provides raw material to jute mills here.
īļTransportation: cheap water transportation is
available.The area is also served by a network
of roads and railways.
īļWater: abundant water is available for
processing, washing & dyeing jute from the
river Hugli.
41. īļLabour: high density population inWest Bengal
and in the neighbouring parts of Bihar, Orissa
provides abundant cheap labour.
īļKolkata is a big port which helps in the import
of machinery and in the export of finished jute
products.
42. Problems of the Indian Jute Industry:
challenges faced by the Jute industry
īThe invention of synthetic as a substitute
for the jute is giving a tough competition
to the jute industry.
īBecause of the old technology, the cost of
production is high due to which a demand
of jute goods has declined.
īAfter independence most of the jute
producing areas went to Bangladesh
resulting shortage of raw material.
īLess demand due to synthetic in domestic
as well as international markets,
45. 3. SUGAR INDUSTRY:

workers.
ī§ There are more than 460 mills in the country,
60% mills are in U.P and Bihar. Most of mills
are in the cooperative sector.
46. Major challenges of sugar
industry:
īļthe seasonal nature of industry
īļlow yield of sugarcane per hectare
īļold and inefficient method of production
īļshort crushing season (4 to 7months in a
year)
īļtransport delay in reaching cane to factories
