The compact spinning is a process where fiber strand drawn by drafting system is condensed before twisting it.Following methods are used by machine manufacturers to condense the fiber strand.
1. Aerodynamic condensing.
2. Mechanical condensing.
3. Magnetic condensing.
Compact spinning has a promising future because of the higher production and improved quality of compact yarns
Fabric softener (also called fabric conditioner) is used to prevent static cling and make fabric softer i.e. Softening agents are applied to textiles to improve their hand, drape, cutting and sewing qualities.Fabric softeners work by coating the surface of the cloth fibers with a thin layer of chemicals; these chemicals have lubricant properties and are electrically conductive, thus making the fibers feel smoother and preventing buildup of static electricity
For meeting the demand of 21th Century we need many qualified Textile Engineer but in our perspective there are two types of Textile Engineer one is more qualified another is more frantic about their position. No Frustration because you are the right key to touch your success. Don’t draw your life map with pen but pencil (because pencil is erasable). Let bygones be bygones & go ahead with our future as if it will be keep in touch. Make a whistle with vivacious life & vivid future.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
One of the leading textile industries in the world
Major contributor to fast growing Indian industrial sector
1) Manufacturing flexibility
The small scale of operation in India’s textile industry has created the capability for enhanced flexibility in production. Indian firms are used to handling small-runs, and have skilled manpower with the ability to produce not only large orders but also smaller and complex orders. The flexibility offered is a significant advantage for the fashion industry, which typically demands small lots of complex designs. These advantages also enable the Indian industry to produce high value customised apparel that is increasingly finding demand in several exports markets.
Additionally the industry also has a large Pool of skilled and cheap work force
2) Multi-Fibre Raw Material Availability
It is well-established that India possesses a natural advantage in terms of raw material availability. India is the largest producer of jute, the second-largest producer of cotton and silk and among the largest producers of wool across the world.
India also recently emerged as a a net exporter of cotton, compared to its asian counterparts China and Pakistan are net importers. This has led to lower costs and better cotton availability in India
3) Product Development/Design
India has built adequate infrastructure throughout the various stages in textile development,
that is, design, sourcing, merchandising and production. Indian firms have leveraged this strength to develop a competitive advantage – the ability to contribute to the design, not only in preparing samples and prototypes, but also in translating concepts into varieties of finished designs, as well as introducing designs of their own. High value, up-market specialty buyers such as Gap, Banana Republic and J. Crew value such expertise and have been leveraging this while buying from India.
4) Industry Competition – Promotes Innovation
Despite a large and growing market, the presence of a large number of small scale players
makes the Indian textile Industry highly competitive. The high level of competition in the industry impels the firms to work to increase in productivity and innovation. India today is one of the lowest cost manufacturers of quality textiles, not only due to its inherent strengths, but also because
industry rivalry has prompted firms to focus on quality improvement, cost reduction and
productivity increase.
5) Favourable Government Policies
The central and state governments provide interest and capital subsidies to those companies purchasing capital equipment for the purpose of Technology Upgradation.
A example is the TUFS scheme of central government which provides 4-5% of interest rebate on loans for new equipment
The Textile and Apparel Supply Chain comprises diverse raw material sectors, ginning facilities, spinning and extrusion processes, processing sector, weaving and knitting factories and garment (and other stitched and non-stitched) manufacturing that supply an extensive distribution channel. This supply chain is perhaps one of the most diverse in terms of the raw materials used, technologies deployed and products produced.
The presence of capabilities across the entire value chain reduces the lead time for production and cuts down the intermediate shipping time. Indian textile firms have leveraged this advantage to integrate their operations, either forward or backward.
Demographic trends in India are changing, with increase in disposable income levels,
consumer awareness and propensity to spend.
Increasing % of working women - Research shows that working women spend 1.3 times as compared to an average house wife. Good news for the brands … bad news for husbands in India.
These trends offer great growth opportunities for companies across various sectors, including textiles.
Increasing retail penetration – Textile and clothing retail comprise 40% of the organised retailing in India. Share of organised retailing to increase from about 5% currently to about 24% in FY 2020
Hotel room demand is expected to grow at 10 % p. a for next 5 years – driving demand for home textiles
Health care delivery market to grow at 13% p.a over next few year, creating demand for more hospitals – to boost demand for home textiles, work wear
Rising disposable income in the hands of rural consumers due to rising agriculture income and increased employment generation to drive the demand of basic textile products.
“Brands such as Zara, Marks and Spencers, Benetton and Tommy Hilfigerposted a healthy jump in their year-on-year revenues and have ambitious expansion plans for India,” Fast fashion, a phrase used for designs that move quickly from the catwalk to showrooms to tap the latest consumer trends, is growing at a yearly pace of 25-30%, twice the rate of the overall market. “These four global brands collectively achieved sales that equalled the apparel sales of established department store chains such as Shoppers Stop and Lifestyle International,”

Digital textile printing industry is currently at a tipping point
Companies with Entry Level printers are investing in Production Level Printers. Composite mills budgeting for DTP in next F.Y
(Around 30 machines – Reggiani, MS JP5 Evo, MS JP6, MS JP7, VEGA Kyocera)
Top Installed – Mimaki, MS, La Meccanica, Atexco
Rest – KM, Regianni, DGI, Kornit, Ichinose, Zimmer, Durst
New Entrants: ITE, Durst, Konica Minolta Nassenger Series
A key factor for the success of DTP in the Apparel and Fashion segment is due to the acceptance of digitally printed ethnic wear in India. Ethnic wear will continue to drive the growth of digital textile printing.
Indian Ethnic wear majorly constitutes of the saree and the salwar kameez.
Ethnic wear was initially a category that was largely restricted to the older age segment. However, it is now finding acceptance even among younger consumers. The young college going girl teams her Indian kurta with either a pair of denims or leggings that represent a fusion of ethnic wear with western wear. This has led to brands focusing on ethnic fusion wear product offerings, in western styles and prints, in order to capture the opportunity.
Over the next decade, India will witness an increase of more than 10 million women within the working middle class across the top 115 urban Indian cities, thus presenting a potential of 35 million consumers by the year 2020 in the relevant cities. Further, since this growing population of women includes a large proportion of working women, there will be a corresponding increase in the disposable income of families.
