The textile industry in India faces significant challenges from technological obsolescence and environmental problems. Many textile mills still use outdated machinery and processes that are decades old, resulting in low production efficiency and capacity utilization. This technological obsolescence has contributed to India's small 3% share of the global textile market. The textile industry also generates extensive pollution from its effluents, emissions, and wastes, harming water sources, soil, air quality, and human health. Upgrading textile mill technology and improving environmental practices are needed to make the industry more viable and competitive on a global scale.
