7.  The study witness a moderate growth rate in the select variables in
the period of the study.
 The select variables mostly witnessed a negative growth rate
during the years namely 2004, 2007, 2011, 2012, 2014.
 The analysis of coefficient of variation recorded better stability
except the number of factories and fixed capital during the study
period.
 The analysis of compound growth rate shows a moderate growth
rate except the consumption of Fuels during the reference period.
 The study recorded better stability during the period of study. (R
squared value is 0.90)indicating that y explains an estimated 90%
of the variation in x.)

8. CONCLUSION
The Indian textile industry is at present is one of the largest and most important sector in the economy in terms of output,
foreign exchange earnings and employment in India.
The Textile industry has the enriched potential to scale new height in the globalized economy. The industry is facing
