In recent times, world is talking about 2 economy , in fact two individual, one is elected USA President
Mr. Donald Trump second is Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi. Common factor between them is
both won election with good marketing strategies, leading now strongest and fastest economy of world.
Two individual made commitment to eradicate the corruption in the world. Black to white..!!! Victory of
this both leaders realised that people want change in the leadership of their own country.
Demonetisation, recent strategy taken by our PM, the action was intended to target wealthy tax evad-
ers and end “shadow economy”, but it has also exposed the dependency of poor farmers and small busi-
nesses on informal credit systems in a country where half the population has no access to formal banking,
as Cash is integral part of Indian economy(85%). India is still way behind using plastic/online money unlike

SASMIRA ALUMNI FOUNDA-
TION are the stars, shine light on
the India’s textile community.
Only with a single aim of focussing light
on friends, colleagues and peers, these stars
of The synthetic and Art Silk Mills Research
Association (SASMIRA), an organization
representing 30,000 plus strong commu-
nity of Textile Engineers, majority of them
ƒ• Ž‡ƒ†‡”• ‹ –Š‡‹” ”‡•’‡…–‹˜‡ Ƥ‡Ž†• ™Š‘ ƒ”‡
entrepreneurs and professionals and have
…”‡ƒ–‡† ƒ ƒ” ‹ –Š‡‹” †‘ƒ‹ ƒ– †‹ơ‡”‡–
positions in the textile value chain, have
chosen to join hands and become the driv-
ing force to promote textiles education in
the country.
Under the mentorship of the principal
of SASMIRA, Mr. Andhorikar to the active
committee members who are the chosen
front –runners of this drive. Started in the
month of October this association has been
able to bring together the ex-students of
†‹ơ‡”‡– „ƒ–…Š‡• ƒ…”‘•• –Š‡ ™‘”Ž† ƒ† ‹–
keeps continuing and growing everyday. At
the moment it is solely funded by the alumni
membership drive and plans various activi-
ties for the college students and teachers.
In order to stimulate the potential of
the talented alumni members, SAF will be
…‘†—…–‹‰ †‹ơ‡”‡– ƒ…–‹˜‹–‹‡• ƒ† ‡˜‡–•ǡ
the attendee alumni members will be able
to interact with all the industry profession-
ƒŽ• —†‡” –Š‡ •ƒ‡ ”‘‘ˆǡ …”‡ƒ–‹‰ †‹ơ‡”‡–
opportunities and alliances.
Starting with the 2 most important
events ITME in December at the Bombay
Exhibition Centre and Heimtextil Frankfurt,
SAF committee will create a platform for all
the members to connect and network with
their fellow alumni. The only string that at-
taches these individuals is their compassion
and gratitude towards the institute. Mr.
Mahesh Bapat the secretory of SAF feels
emotional while stating “Life gives us brief
moments with one another, when we were
studying together we never knew how far
our destiny will take us. But today after so
many years when we get an opportunity to
cherish those dreams it always becomes a
bigger pictures when you can share with
those who were part of your development”
Some of the most important functions
of SAF are
• To create a forum where Alumni can
contact each other for better career pos-
sibilities.
• To organize get-togethers where alumni
can meet and create network with each
other.
• To create a platform where alumni can
help college students by providing them
Ƥƒ…‹ƒŽ •—’’‘”–ǡ …ƒ”‡‡” ‰—‹†ƒ…‡ǡ Œ‘„
opportunities, etc.
• To organize social activities like: Blood
donation camps, cluster upliftment
–Š”‘—‰Š †‹ơ‡”‡– ‹‹–‹ƒ–‹˜‡• ‡–…Ǥ
• Other than the above mentioned, Thriv-
ing Alumni is always ready to render any
possible help to students, faculty, or oth-
ers connected directly or indirectly to
the college.
Even today, textiles sector is one of the
largest contributors and employers in India.
It employs about 40 million workers and
60 million indirectly. This is the only sector
which involves the entire value chain of skill-
ful led employees from a spinners to design-
ers. Its legacy of over 150 years brings huge
gamut of opportunities together. The alum-
ni members are of the strong belief that this
initiative can create an impact on the devel-
opment and enhancement of the network
for building huge opportunities to each
and every members of this fraternity. SAF
believes that alumni members are drops of
this huge gamut of textiles and the force
that can be created with bringing them to-
gether can be parallel to strength beyond
exception. For any further detail you can log

SIMA appeals for slew of
remedial measures to over-
come impact of demoneti-
zation
Mr.M.Senthil Kumar, Chairman,
The Southern India Mills’ Association
(SIMA) has highly appreciated the bold ini-
–‹ƒ–‹˜‡ ƒ† Ƥ” •–ƒ† –ƒ‡ „› –Š‡ ‘ǯ„Ž‡
Prime Minster to demonetize currencies of
high value.
The withdrawal of around 86% of
the currency in circulation and issuance of
less than 10% of currency in the denomina-
tion of Rs.2000/- has led to severe shortage
of funds for regular operations, purchase
‘ˆ ”ƒ™ ƒ–‡”‹ƒŽ ȋ…‘––‘Ȍǡ •ƒŽ‡ ‘ˆ Ƥ‹•Š‡†
goods (yarn, fabric etc.,) and also the pur-
chase of the regular requirements of stores,
spares, accessories in the textile industry.
In a Press Release issued here to-
day, Mr.Senthil Kumar has stated that a rep-
resentation was sent to the Hon’ble Union
Textile Minister, Smt Smriti Zubin Irani ap-
pealing the Government to announce a slew
‘ˆ ”‡‡†‹ƒŽ ‡ƒ•—”‡• ˆ‘” ‹–‹‰ƒ–‹‰ –Š‡ Ƥ-
nancial impact of demonetization and high
value currencies on the textile industry. Mr.
Senthil Kumar has stated that the textile re-
tail showrooms and shops across the Nation
are hit by cash crunch and low sales as the
customers are starving for currencies and
spending the rationed currency available
with them only for emergency purpose. He
has stated that the stocks started piling up
across the value chain of the textile industry
and the textile units are not in a position to
collect any receivables and therefore cash
ƪ‘™ ‘ˆ –Š‡ –‡š–‹Ž‡ ‹†—•–”› ‹• •‡”‹‘—•Ž› ƒˆ-
fected. SIMA Chairman has further stated
that the cotton price increased by around
Rs.2000/- per candy as the cotton arrival to
the market came to a grinding halt during
–Š‡ Ƥ”•– ͕͔ †ƒ›• ƒˆ–‡” †‡‘‡–‹œƒ–‹‘ ƒ†
has currently improved to the level of 50
to 60%. Mr.Senthil Kumar has stated that it
might take at least six months for the tex-
tile industry to reach normalcy in its perfor-
mance.
SIMA chief has stated that the As-
sociation has sought for the following re-
medial measures to enable the industry to
mitigate the challenges posed by the cash
crunch created by demonetization:-
1. The spinning sector is already
reeling under recession due to sharp fall in
yarn exports. In the aftermath of demon-
etization of high value currencies, extend
͖Ψ

„‡‡Ƥ–• ˆ‘” …‘––‘ ›ƒ”
exports and enable the industry to boost
cotton yarn exports and improve its global
competitiveness.
͖Ǥ

‘”†‡” –‘ ‹’”‘˜‡ –Š‡ …ƒ•Š ƪ‘™
and manage the inventory, enhance the
working capital limit by 50%.
3. Though the government has an-
nounced two months moratorium for the
loans up to Rs.1 crore, the textile industry
™Š‹…Š ‹• ƒŽ”‡ƒ†› —†‡” •‡˜‡”‡ Ƥƒ…‹ƒŽ …”‹•‹•
needs at least one year moratorium period
for repayment of loans and interest to pre-
vent the textile units becoming NPAs.
4. RBI has already indicated that the
–‡š–‹Ž‡ ‹†—•–”› ‹• ‘‡ ‘ˆ –Š‡ Ƥ˜‡ Ƥƒ…‹ƒŽŽ›

1(:6
stressed units in the country. The perfor-
mance of the textile units in the post de-
monetization period has aggravated and
therefore, it is essential to increase the ex-
isting NPAs period from 90 days to one year
to avoid textile units becoming NPAs.
5. Considering the grave situation of
the textile units, the Government may con-
sider deferring all the tax payments for a
period of six months.
6. The cotton farmers prefer cash to
sell their kapas in the market as they owe
debts to the private money lenders. They
fear that banks might adjust their debts if
the sale proceeds are transacted through
bank. Therefore, one year moratorium pe-
riod could be given to the cotton farmers
for the repayment of loans and interest
with clear instructions to the banks not to
adjust the sale proceeds of kapas against
their dues. CCI could also procure kapas at
market price to help the farmers
7. At present, the rate of interest is
12 to 13%. At this rate of interest, under the
present scenario, the textile units cannot
•—•–ƒ‹ –Š‡‹” Ƥƒ…‹ƒŽ ˜‹ƒ„‹Ž‹–›Ǥ Š‡”‡ˆ‘”‡ǡ
reduce interest rate by 3% for all the term
loans and working capital loan across the
value chain.
8. Majority of the workers do not
have savings bank accounts due to cumber-
some procedures including submission of
KYC details. This discourages the migrant
workers from opening savings bank ac-
counts. Therefore, necessary direction may
be given to the banks to enable the workers
to open the accounts instantly by showing
any ID proof. This would enable the em-
ployer to pay the wages through bank.

Global Textile Machinery Industry
Global Textile machinery market is witnessing tremendous
growth buoyed by growing demand of textile apparel market.
It is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 14.02%till 2018. It isexpected
to reach to US $ 207.5 billion in 2015. The major manufacturers of
textile machinery are Germany,Italy, Switzerland, France and now

they installed a large set-up for spinning and weaving industry. One
of the major trends in the Global Textile Machinery market is the
growing number of technological innovations. The global market
is divided into two parts i.e. Low cost manufacturing in develop-
ing countries (Labor concentrated market) where cheap labor and
lower version technology is available high cost manufacturing in
developed countries where labor is expensive more automation
is needed to reduce operation cost.
Indian Textile Machinery Industry
The industry witnessed a growth of 8-10 per cent to Rs 22,000
crore in 2014-15 from Rs 20,000 crore in 2013-14.The size of India’s
textile machinery industry is poised to double to Rs 45,000 crore in
the next 7 years from the present Rs 22,000 crore in light of new
projects and emphasis on setting up textile parks. The textile ma-
chinery manufacturing section is one of the important segments of
the machinery manufacturing industry in India. Our in-house pro-
†—…–‹‘ ‹• ‹•—ƥ…‹‡– –‘ ‡‡– †‘‡•–‹… †‡ƒ†Ǥ
This industry is nearly sixty years old and has more than1000
machinery and component manufacturing units. Nearly 300 units
produce complete machinery and the remaining produce various
textile machinery components.However, not all the units work to
full capacity or even the optimum capacity level. Except for the
units in the spinning sector where the machineries are of interna-
tional standards; in the other sectors, machinery manufacturing
for weaving, knitting and wet-processing lack high level ofquality
standard and performance (in most of the cases) to compete with
the European manufacturers.
Indian Machinery Production FY 2012-13 ( In Crores)
In the weaving sector, shuttleless weaving machinery (rapier
‘” ƒ‹” Œ‡–Ȍ ƒ† ‹ –Š‡ ‹––‹‰ •‡…–‘” ȋ…‹”…—Žƒ” ‹––‹‰ ƒ† ƪƒ– ‹–-
ting) machineries hardly have any presence in the industry.The ma-
chinery manufacturing operation takes place at the organized and
the unorganized sectors. In the organized sector, in addition to the
public limited companies, machinery manufacturing is done in in-
dependent units, which have collaborative joint ventures with the
foreign entities. In the decentralized sector, there are small-scale
industrial units as well as tiny units engaged in the production of
accessories pertaining to the textile machinery.Majority of the pro-
duction comes from the States of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat; collec-

Around 87 per cent of the total production, i.e., textile machin-

country, so there is very less scope for the export.

Growth Drivers in India for Machinery Market
Purchase of new machinery is the key growth driver of the mar-
ket. One of the major growth drivers for global machinery market is
the strong economic recovery; post-recession, increasing demand

demand in the developing countries. Today machinery manufactur-
ers produce textile machineries at competitive prices, and sophisti-
cated machines of higher speed, and production capacity. Presence
of numerous small scale players also makes the machinery sector
more competitive. Along with them, MNCs have also entered the
global arena, taking the competition to the next level, driving com-
panies to work on their productivity and innovation.
The global demand of textile machinery is rising due to grow-
ing demand of textile industry. Today, Textile machinery sourcing

Summary
Indian Textile Machinery Industry has tremendous growth po-
tential in coming future buoyed by growing global demand; the
only need is to identify the untapped opportunities. We need to fo-
cus more on Research Development (RD) to manufacture high
standard Textile Machinery which is required to produce quality
goods and replace importsand alsoto export to other developing
countries. There is a dier need of techno commercial viable machin-
ery which can reduce capital cost substantially with appropriate op-
erating cost, this would give an edge over highly priced European
and Japanese machinery. Indian
The Indian Government has already declared “Make in India”
drive to boost manufacturing sector. It should also support the
RD activities allocate special funds for development of RD
centers. Our education pattern should develop research and inno-
vation based concepts for Textile Engineering students so that the
real growth happens within our country. Low material costs and
economy of scale along with tremendous domestic market will give
India an edge over other countries. However, India has to create its
own brand and market Make in India products aggressively.
So let’s come together create India as “NEXT TEXTILE MA-
CHINERY HUB” for global textile market.
NOTE ON INDIAN TEXTILE MACHINERY INDUSTRY
PROSPECTS, CHALLENGES AND REMEDIES
The Indian Textile Engineering Industry (TEI) is more than 100
years old with an illustrious history of achievements, including
manufacture of advanced spinning machinery, power looms, weav-

accessories which amount to nearly 2/3rd of last year’s export of
about Rs. 2600 crs.

’‘”– ƒ† •ƒŽŽ •‹œ‡ ‘ˆ Ƥ”• ‡‰ƒ‰‡† ‹ –Š‡ „—•‹‡••ǡ –Š‡ ‹†—•–”›
has not grown to its potential. Import of machinery and spares in
India (Rs 10385 crs.) still constitutes more than 70% in value of do-
mestic demand. In comparison, China, which had a negligible TEI in
1990, has now grown into a major manufacturer and exporter of
textile machinery and spares. Indian manufacturers sold about Rs.
3900 crs. worth machinery and spares in India and exported about
Rs. 2600 crs (40% of production), while operating at only 60% capac-
ity utilization.
The Indian TEI has the potential to grow more than 10 times
to a USD 10 billion industry provided all the stakeholders including
the government adopt a mission to “Make India a world leader
in textiles by 2025”. We have the skills, the tradition, the designs,
the manpower, the raw material and a large domestic market to
achieve this but it shall remain a pipe dream if we do not channelize
all forces to this common goal.
‡ ™‘—Ž† Ž‹‡ –‘ „”‹‡ƪ› ‡–‹‘ –Š‡ ’”‘„Ž‡• Šƒ’‡”‹‰ –Š‡
industry growth and the remedial measures required:
1. Lack of scale and technology: ‘•– Ƥ”• ƒ”‡ • ™Š‘
do not have the wherewithal to compete with global giants. High
interest rates, reluctance of mills for using domestic products, lack
of access to latest technology, lack of RD infrastructure with ac-
ademic institutions not geared up to undertake RD projects on
commercial basis, lack of innovation and Zero-defects culture( chal-
tahai still prevails!), archaic labour laws – these and innumerable
other hurdles are the well-known impediments.
2. Lack of presence in all sectors: India does not possess

menting, non-wovens, technical textiles, embroidery, made-ups,
garment accessories, etc. besides being leagues behind in weaving
ƒ† Ƥ‹•Š‹‰ ‘ˆ ˆƒ„”‹…•Ǥ
3. Adverse import policy: Many machines are imported at
concessional or nil duty while components attract 25% or more duty
( including CVD). Second hand machines were also till last year en-
joying subsidized interest and capital subsidy and duty concessions
under TUF, EPCG and State promotional schemes whereas similar

4. Lack of government support for technology advance-
ment : While huge subsidies are provided under TUF scheme to

„‡‡Ƥ–• •‹‹Žƒ” –‘ –‘ †‡˜‡Ž‘’ ƒ†˜ƒ…‡† ‹†‹‰‡‘—• –‡…Š‘Ž-
ogy to make machinery and components at par with international
standards. This in spite of fact that Indian machinery is typically 40-
60%% cheaper than imported in most cases. If the government pro-
‘–‡• –‡…Š‘Ž‘‰› ƒ‘‰

†‹ƒ ƒ—ˆƒ…–—”‡”• „› ‘ơ‡”‹‰ ƒ
scheme for TEI, there may not be any need for TUF for the textile
industry as machinery and parts will be available at 40-60% lower
cost! However, the strong lobby of foreign suppliers supported by
domestic mills due to TUF scheme, had prevented this from hap-
pening in spite of the obvious advantages. Also the TUF for tex-

ėĊĘĎĉĊēę Ĕċ

29(5 6725
tile machinery would cost the government not more than 20% of
what it provides for the textile industry. Huge savings to excheq-
uer through subsidy reduction can be done if this faulty approach is
corrected.
5. Lack of ecosystem to support innovation: While Mills
readily adopt new advancements by manufacturers abroad and
willingly pay a huge mark-up on it, they are usually reluctant to try
and encourage domestic innovators’ products having apprehen-
sions of quality, performance, reliability, consistency etc., even
though the product is available at a fraction of the price. Also the
‹‘˜ƒ–‘” ‰‡–• ‘ Ƥƒ…‹ƒŽ •—’’‘”– ‹ –‡”• ‘ˆ •‘ˆ– Ž‘ƒ• ƒ† ‹ˆ Š‹•
innovation fails, he has to close his company and sell collateral to
repay the loan.
6. Lack of advanced technical education: Most of the insti-
tutes have old curriculum, lack of modern and functioning labora-
–‘”›ǡ Žƒ… ‘ˆ ’”ƒ…–‹…ƒŽ Ƥ‡Ž† ‡š’‡”‹‡…‡ ƒ† ƒŽ•‘ †‘ǯ– –‡ƒ…Š „ƒ•‹…
communication and management skills to students to prepare
them for the real world. As such, all employers have to train the
new recruits extensively, thus causing a great loss to the nation, to
their productivity and competitiveness, to their ability to innovate
and improve operations.
7. Uncompetitive textile industry: When the customer
ȋ‹ŽŽ•Ȍ ƒ”‡ ‹ ƒ ™‡ƒ Ƥƒ…‹ƒŽ ’‘•‹–‹‘ǡ –Š‡› …ƒ‘– ƒ†‡“—ƒ–‡Ž› •—’-
port TEI. Cheap imports through FTAs, SAARC countries and under
wrong ITC code lead to dumping of imports from China and other
countries at unsustainable prices. At the same time, import barri-
ers that discriminate against Indian textiles as compared to China
or LDC countries prevent domestic industry from getting their fair
share of export market.
However, the situation is not as hopeless as it sounds since
there is still a possibility to address these problems in a cohesive
and united manner by all stake-holders. We are the second largest
producer of textiles in the world, one of the largest markets and
one of the largest importers of textile machinery. So the founda-
tion exists, only the right action is required. The following are the
suggested remedies for each of above problems:
1. Building scale and technology: Government policy can
help domestic manufacturers to build their capacity and technolo-
‰› –Š”‘—‰Š •‡˜‡”ƒŽ Ƥ•…ƒŽ ƒ† ’‘Ž‹…› ‡ƒ•—”‡• •—…Š ƒ• …‘…‡••‹‘ƒŽ
import duty on import of components, TUF scheme for TEI, special
soft loans scheme for JVs with manufacturers abroad for acquiring
latest technology, concessional infrastructure in TEI parks (similar
to textile parks scheme), special export promotion schemes to sup-
’‘”– ‡š’‘”– ƒ”‡–‹‰ ‡ơ‘”–•ǡ •—„•‹†‹‡• ˆ‘” —†‡”–ƒ‹‰ –‡…Š‹…ƒŽ
training and process improvement programs by adopting TPM,
LEAN, Cluster programs similar to what the auto components in-
dustry ahs been able to achieve, special incentives for Mills and ma-
chinery manufacturers on buying domestic machinery and parts,
•’‡…‹ƒŽ ƒ••‹•–ƒ…‡ ˆ‘” •—’’‘”–‹‰ ‘’‡‹‰ ‘ˆ ‘ƥ…‡• ‘” ™ƒ”‡Š‘—•‡•
abroad, etc.
2. Provide attractive scheme for leading machinery manu-
facturers in weak presense sectors: If special scheme for invest-
‡– —†‡”

ǡ ‹…Ž—†‹‰ –ƒš Š‘Ž‹†ƒ›•ǡ ƒ”‡ ‘ơ‡”‡†
to encourage foreign suppliers to set up manufacturing in India,
it will help develop local industry for components and also in due
course lead to new Indian manufacturers for the same machinery,
thus building a healthy and competitive market domestically and
drastically cutting down on imports. Currently there is no incentive
for manufacturers abroad to manufacture in India since the import
policy favours them. The secret of China’s success is in their abil-
ity to get foreign investment for domestic manufacturing of textile
machinery and parts.
3. Import policy biased towards domestic manufacturers:
If, and only if, manufacturing in India entails savings in taxes as com-
pared to imports will Indian TEI start becoming competitive and
imports will be discouraged. This would lead to a rush of foreign
manufacturers setting shop in India to prevent losing this growing
and very important global market. China was smart enough to re-
alize this early on and even forced companies to invest in China if
they wanted their market.
4. Government support: Already covered under point 1.
5. Ecosystem to promote innovation: It is a huge challenge
to change the mindset of all stakeholders involved – the producers,
the customers, the government and the academia. But it is worth
it if it helps promotes innovation. Mills adopting an innovation
support policy, institutions having grants to promote and support
industrial research and innovation projects on commercial basis,
practical training made mandatory for students to become employ-
able, national awards for innovation in textiles and machinery to
”‡…‘‰‹œ‡ „‡•– ‡ơ‘”–• ƒ† •—……‡••‡• ƒ† ƒ—ˆƒ…–—”‡”• ƒ†‘’–‹‰
advanced manufacturing practices and quality norms in their plants

…‘’‡–‹–‹˜‡ ’”‹…‡†ǡ „ƒ…‡† —’ ™‹–Š ‡ƥ…‹‡– ƒˆ–‡”Ǧ•ƒŽ‡• •‡”˜‹…‡ ƒ†
timely deliveries would go a long way in transforming the current
mindset.
6. World class technical education: This can be promoted
by inviting top international institutes( both for degree courses
and vocational training) to start operation in India and creating a
healthy competitive environment for the existing academic institu-
tions.
͛Ǥ ‡˜‡Ž ’Žƒ›‹‰ Ƥ‡Ž†ǣ The government has a moral respon-
•‹„‹Ž‹–› –‘ ‰‹˜‡ ‹–• –‡š–‹Ž‡ ‹†—•–”› ƒ Ž‡˜‡Ž ’Žƒ›‹‰ Ƥ‡Ž† ‹ –Š‡ †‘‡•-
tic market. If textile imports, subsidized by exporting country or
™”‘‰ˆ—ŽŽ› –ƒ‹‰ ƒ†˜ƒ–ƒ‰‡ ‘ˆ •ǡ ƒ”‡ ƒŽŽ‘™‡† ƒ– ƒ”–‹Ƥ…‹ƒŽŽ› Ž‘™-
ered import prices, the ongoing decline of Indian textile industry
cannot be prevented. Even Bangladesh and Vietnam are overtak-
ing us at rapid speed! Indian market needs to be ring-fenced from
dumping by introducing MIP similar to steel and anti-dumping
measures adopted with alacrity. Also cotton exports needs to be
regulated to balance the interests of farmers and Mills, since they
have an interdependence they cannot wish away. Why export cot-
ton when we can instead export yarn, cloth and garments?
Hope the mission to see Indian textiles lead the world becomes
a reality soon!

“Make in India” has been a major program of our Honourable
Prime Minister and rightfully so as we have truly lagged behind in
the manufacturing sector. There have been many conferences,
program and discussions on the same – the press is always full of
mention of Make in India. We oursleves are a manufacturer who
sells domestically and also exports across the globe. The Make in
India program had excited me also personally and had hoped for a
lot to happen.
India has ample labour at reasonable cost, a huge domestic
market, ample opportunity for import subsitution, rich reserves
of raw materials, a proactive Government – all the ingredients are
there but still the dish is far from complete as the receipe is yet to

sadly the more I analyse and look around, the more convinced I am

Many have countered me and said that as a business person

is pertinent to understand as to why have the educated class of the
country, mostly shunned entreprenuership and more so the manu-
facturing sector.
Being an MBA we tend to lean more towards logic and analy-
sis, however over the years have learnt that “too much of analysis
leads to paralysis” and management is both art and science.
I would like to open up my heart and share my feelings/
thoughts which have developed with my experience, observations,
information and knowledge over the years. I hope this would reach
the people who matter and it would provoke some thoughts and
actions which would lead to a better business environment.
Some reasons why manufacturing is a shunned industry are:
” Everyone feels owning a factory means your rich and wealthy
ƒ† ‹–• ‡˜‡”›‘‡ǯ• „‹”–Š ”‹‰Š– –‘ ‡š–”ƒ…– ‹–• ’‘—† ‘ˆ ƪ‡•ŠǤ Š‹•
leads to a factory being harrassed by:
y Local people on various counts – small big
y Inspectors appointed to comply with various laws, most of
which are archaic and irrelevant today.Inspector raj has to
be managed as they have omni powers to penalise you
y Multiple laws regulate factories
y Labour and trade unions have to be managed
y Your presumed wrong and considered guilty unless proven
innocent
” Land even after purchased or received as per law, has no guar-
antee. Firstly to get consolidated land for a factory is a night
mare, and thereafter no insurance that its going to stay with
you.
” ͖͘ š ͛ ƒ ƒ—ˆƒ…–—”‡” ‹• ‘’‡ –‘ ”‹• ‘ˆ Ƥ”‡ǡ …ƒŽƒ‹–‹‡•ǡ ƒ……‹-
dents and so on.
” Despite being one of the fastest growing economies, we are
far behind even smaller nations when it comes to Ease of do-

†‹ƒǯ• ”ƒ‹‰ ƒ–
130 out of 190 nations (means no progress made by us despite
intentions).
” Power costs are extremely high in most parts of the country.
The Electricity Act was passed in 2003, however still many
States don’t allow purchase of power and many make it invi-
able by imposing cross subsidies, taxes, charges etc. Power on
IEX is available as low as Rs 2/unit, however its landed cost to
industry multiplies 2 to 3 times, where allowed to be purchased.
The moot point is that why should State Electricity Boards be
allowed to act as monopolies ??
” Interest rates are extremely high. Despite RBI having decreased
their rates by 175 basis points over last 18 months, the banks
have not even decreased by 100 basis points !!! Why should
…‘’Ž‹ƒ– …—•–‘‡”• ’ƒ› ˆ‘” • ƒ† ‹‡ƥ…‹‡…‹‡• ‘ˆ „ƒ• ǫǫ
” Instability of policies. The Government can retrospectively
change anything they want leading to law abiding companies
become violators, incentives due to companies being refused
and so on. The only resort is going legal which we all know is
prohibitively expensive and time consuming. Even after judge-
ments in favour, its not easy to get justice from the Govern-
ment.
” Labour attrition, absentism, education levels makes manufac-
turing consistently a challenge. Some reasons for the same are:
y Number of religious festivals we have across the country
y MNRGEA which makes labour take long leaves for their
home town
y Culturally not a disciplined country
y Education levels in rural still very low – makes skilling dif-

y Propensity to migrate has reduced
y Married women working is still very low
” …‘‘‹‡• ‘ˆ •…ƒŽ‡ ƒ”‡ †‹ƥ…—Ž– –‘ †‡˜‡Ž‘’ †—‡ –‘ǣ
y Poor availability of consolidated land
y Issues of employing large number of labour in one location
– one stray incident or displeasure of local leaders can ruin
a company
y Hardly any favourable FTAs which could provide a big mar-

29(5 6725
ket to Indian companies to dare to set up large capacities
” Manufacturing is taxed and taxed, ensuring they never can gen-
‡”ƒ–‡ •—ƥ…‹‡– ”‡–—” ‘ …ƒ’‹–ƒŽ ‡’Ž‘›‡† —Ž‡•• –Š‡› ƒ”‡ ‹
some industry where they enjoy monopoly or subsidies. If we
analyse the ROCE of manufacturing companies it would shock
us all. Interesting to note the following:
y A promoter of a dividend paying company pays almost 60%
–ƒš ‘ ’”‘Ƥ–• Ȃ …‘”’‘”ƒ–‡ –ƒšǡ †‹˜‹†‡† †‹•–”‹„—–‹‘ –ƒš ƒ†
then dividend tax. Is this equitable ??
y Apart from direct taxes, companies pay a host of indirect
taxes.
y Cross subsidies are the order of the day. Even after paying
taxes and taxes for meeting Government expenditure, they
have to pay cross subsidies on a host of expenses to subsi-
dise other sectors like power, interest, freight etc.
y It’s the duty and work of Government to collect taxes – how-
ever the tax abiding companies are forced to do this by way
of TDS, TCS, Reverse charges etc. They are also heavily pe-
nalised for even a day’s default. Even indirect tax collection
like VAT is the duty of the purchaser – its duty of company
to ensure his supplier pays taxes instead of VAT department
who has registered them.
There is always a risk reward concept in business. However in
India the manufacturing sector has a imbalanced risk reward re-
lation. Manufacturing isnt everyone’s cup of tea – those choosing
have to bear many of the above mentioned risks in any part of the
world, but the fact is that the rewards for the risk are also there. In
India the sector is considered a cash cow to be milked and milked –
when it cant be milked anymore its simply butchered to withdraw
every ounce and drop of blood.
Unless we in spirit don’t understand the importance of man-
ufacturing sector and its role in development of the country by
generating employment, revenue, self reliance, earning foreign ex-
change by exports import subsitution, reducing cost of products
for the common man – we shall never ever see the dream of India
becoming a manufacturing hub and factory of the world like other
nations (China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand etc) have become
over the last few decades.
Today the service sector looks attractive and all are zeroing for
the same – India was a under serviced nation and hence we have
seen high rates of growth. However going forward without a vi-
brant primary economy how can the supporting segments thrive
and grow. The Government has no doubt understood all this and
hence “Make in India” came up, however to realise the dreams on
ground, we have miles to go. We also recognise that it needs the
…‘„‹‡† ‡ơ‘”–• ‘ˆ „‘–Š ‡–”‡ ƒ† –ƒ–‡ –‘ ƒ‡ –Š‹‰• ™‘”ǡ
hence important to build a Federal consensus like being done for
GST. Federal competitiveness is already visible and the Statewise
ranking on Ease of Doing Business is also a welcome step.
We hope the ground level problems are understood and appre-
ciated before its too late. The world is round and with advent of
robots and automation – manufacturing may very well go back to
the developed world where most of the above mentioned irritants/
obstacles are not there.
Would like to conclude with a disclaimer, that I am not a pes-
simist and very well know that we are improving on various fronts.
Every day new postives are happening especially on the infrastruc-
ture and technology front – however am worried by the pace of
activities and our relative position to competiting nations (the re-
cent World Bank Report and industrial growth rates which don’t
show any relative improvement validates my feeling as a business-
man).
The growing demand of textile apparel market has led to a
tremendous growth in the Global textile machinery market. It is
forecasted to grow at a CAGR of around 11% by 2020. The major
manufacturers of textile machinery are Germany, Italy, Switzer-
land, France, Japan and now China. China (22%)is now world’s top
exporting country for textile machinery followed by Germany (15%),
Japan (9%), Italy (9%) and Korea (5%). Some of the emerging trends
in Global Textile Machinery Industry are:Automation in textile ma-
chinery and growing popularity of spinning machinery. Thus, there
is a good demand for technological innovations in the Global Tex-
tile Machinery market.
Indian SCENARIO
India being one of the emerging economies, demand for textile
machinery is growing. The textile machinery manufacturing sector
is one of the important segments of the Indian machinery manufac-
turing industry.The Indian textile machinery industry is expected to
almost grow by twofolds in 2022. The growth expectation is based
on increasing demand of textile and apparel market in India. In
2014, the textile machinery industry witnessed about 10 per cent
growth to reach Rs 22,000 Crore (US$ 3.4 billion). Textile sector
is one of the largest contributors to India’s exports with approxi-
mately 11% of total exports. India’s overall textile exports during FY
2015-16 stood at US$ 40 billion.
The Indian textiles industry, currently estimated at around US$
108 billion, is expected to reach US$ 223 billion by 2021. The indus-
try is the second largest employer after agriculture, providing em-
ployment to over 45 million people directly and 60 million people
indirectly. The Indian Textile Industry contributes approximately 5
per cent to India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and 14 per cent
to overall Index of Industrial Production (IIP). Hence it is utmost
necessary that Indian textile machine manufacturing industry has
to strengthen its base for quality output accepted at international
level.
Indian Government Initiative :
Indian government has come out with many attractive policies
to boost growth of textile industry. The key policies given by the

” †‡” –Š‡ ƒ”‡– ‡˜‡Ž‘’‡– ••‹•–ƒ…‡ ȋ Ȍ …Š‡‡ǡ Ƥ-
nancial assistance is provided for a range of export promotion

As Indian textile industry has shown remarkable growth in the
global market and knowing that India would be the most favorable
growing economy in coming years, Indian textile machinery manu-
facturing has to witness much faster growth and take a larger share
in the global market.
Globally there is a need for appropriate technology to tone
down manufacturing cost and yet to produce quality textiles. I feel
India would be the best nominee to take care of this requirement.
We at India ITME Society have already taken various initiatives to
boost morale of all our members and given them platforms for
technology upgradation and knowledge sharing in global markets.

on that eve was nothing, but deep rooted jealousy that we bear

next four quarters.
Increasingly it is becoming evident that this bold move was less
of “strike“ on “black money” and “fake currency” and more of ac-
tion against entire “Money” in cash form. It was not the scraping
of 500 Rs. and 1000 Rs. bills but abrupt and abnormal control on
about 85% liquidation of market.

This decision taken by our Prime Minister (I am using PM instead
of Govt.) seems to be taken in unnecessary haste and without tak-

driven cash crunch that is playing out in India will paralyze economic
activity in the near future. This will indirectly lead to unemployment
of labors who until now were receiving salaries in cash. Some of the
other such consequences that are pertinent in today’s market are-

In the era of wearable computing, intelligent systems are
breaking the bounds of traditional textiles and their design. The
integration of the technologies with clothing, accessories, uphol-
stery or industrial technical textiles provides higher user-comfort
and enables their seamless use in everyday activities. Investment
in spinning and weaving equipment are increased very rapidly in
Countries which are producing and exporting textiles. The Govern-
ment plans suitable measures to facilitate that the Textile Industry

ated by creating new infrastructure and also by strengthening the
existing ones. Need to move towards increasing productivity for
increasing export growth of textiles. Purchasing new machinery
or enhancing the quality of the existing machinery and introducing
new technology can also be very useful in increasing the research
and development (RD) related activities.
Introduction
The Textile Industry is a major foreign exchange earner of the
Country. It earns more than 35% of the total exports revenue made
in our country. The Textile Industry occupies a very important place
in the Indian economy. In the human life Apparel has created a vital
place from the ancient time to modern era of globalization. Tex-
tile products production became the second large scale economic
industry providing considerable employment which is just next to
agriculture industry. Textile products and textile machineries indus-
tries are vital parts of the world economy, providing employment
to tens of millions of both men and women workers in all over
more than two hundred countries. The world textile industry is on
continual institutional changes everyday due to globalisation and
heavy competition. China, India, Pakistan and Vietnam are the tra-
ditional giants in the manufacturing of textile products and machin-
eries and they are always having competition with each other. Even
though the textile industries plants are located throughout the
world, China is dominating the entire scene with respect to textiles
products and machineries. India is one of the world’s largest manu-
facturers and exporter of textiles products and it has invested in
more spinning and weaving equipment second to china. The main
factor which is contributed to lagging in the cotton textile industry
throughout the world is outdated technology of machineries and
getting skilled labours when compared to positive growth factors
like ecological friendly, good biodegradable character of cotton,
better versatility, export capability, creation of employment for
people by it in industrial and agricultural sectors.
Indian textile industry:
The Indian textiles industry, currently estimated at around US
$108 billion, is expected to reach US $ 141 billion by 2021. The in-
dustry is the second largest employer after agriculture, providing
direct employment to over 45 million and 60 million people indi-
rectly. The Indian Textile Industry contributes approximately 5 per
cent to GDP, and 14 per cent to overall Index of Industrial Produc-
tion (IIP). The Indian government has come up with a number of ex-
port promotion policies for the textiles sector. It has also allowed
100 per cent FDI in the Indian textiles sector under the automatic

try is the single largest industry with 50 lakhs peoples are employed
directly or indirectly with respect to 1800 textile mills located in dif-
ferent parts of India.
Textile Value Chain
Problems and challenges:
The lack of research and development (R and D) facilities
initiative of Textile companies to aggressively start innovating
rather than following western world.There needs to be paradigm
shift from being traditional industry to modern intelligent industry.
The inability to timely modernize the equipment and machinery has
led to the decline of India textile competitiveness. Due to obsolete
technology the cost of production is higher in India as compared
to and china.
The above reason increased the cost of production of textile
industry which create problem for a textile industry to compete
in international market. High cost of doing business is because of
intensive increase in the rate of interest which has increased the
problems of the industry.
There needs to complete paradigm shift in textile industry consid-
ering above scenario make use of concept of design thinking for
sustainable future considering optimum utilization of resources.

“Design thinking can be described as a discipline that uses the
designer’s sensibility and methods to match people’s needs with
what is technologically feasible and what a viable business strat-
egy can convert into customer value and market opportunity.”
– Tim Brown CEO, IDEO
ChristophMeinel and Larry Leifer, of the HPI-Stanford Design
Thinking Program, lay out four principles for the successful im-
plementation of design thinking: the human rule, the ambiguity
rule, the re-design rule, and the tangibility rule. Meinel and Leifer
arrived at their principles through academic investigation and re-
search of the design thinking method, in which they sought to un-

thinking method produced consistently positive results.[14]
Š‡ Ƥ”•– ”—Ž‡ǡ –Š‡ “human rule,” states that successful design
activities are ultimately social in nature, and that successful design
takes a human-centric point of view. Meinel and Leifer emphasize
that this rule is “an imperative to solve technical problems in ways
that solve human needs and acknowledge the human element in all
technologists and managers.”
The second rule, the “ambiguity rule,” commands designers to
preserve ambiguity. “Innovation demands experimentation at the
limits of our ability to control events, and with the freedom to see
–Š‹‰• †‹ơ‡”‡–Ž›Ǥǳ ‹–Š –‘‘ ƒ› ˆ‘”ƒŽ …‘•–”ƒ‹–•ǡ †‡•‹‰ –Š‹-
ing will be unable to produce successful end products.
The third rule, the “re-design rule,” makes the assertion that
all design is re-design, and that there are few, if any, entirely new
problems that the human race has not faced before in its history.
The authors recommend that designers look to the past for his-
torical solutions that have worked; while social circumstances and
technology have evolved, many problems are of an enduring na-

derstand the core nature and history of the problem they are trying
to solve instead of the technical solutions currently available.

Distinctions Between Design and Design Thinking
“Designistheactionofbringingsomethingnewanddesiredinto
existence—a proactive stance that resolves or dissolves problem-
atic situations by design. It is a compound of routine, adaptive and
design expertise brought to bear on complex dynamic situations.”
—Harold Nelson, The Design Way
Nigel Cross (2007), in his book Designerly Ways of Knowing,
says, “Everything we have around us has been designed. Design
ability is, in fact, one of the three fundamental dimensions of hu-
man intelligence. Design, science, and art form an ‘AND’ not an ‘OR’
relationship to create the incredible human cognitive ability.”

illustrates the divergent and convergent stages of the design pro-
cess.
Design thinking informs human-centered innovation
Human-centered innovation begins with developing an under-
standing of customers’ or users’ unmet or unarticulated needs.“The
most secure source of new ideas that have true competitive ad-
vantage, and hence, higher margins, is customers’ unarticulated
needs).Customer intimacy—a deep knowledge of customers and
their problems—helps to uncover those needs.”
Design thinking minimizes the uncertainty and risk of innova-
tion by engaging customers or users through a series of prototypes

data or market research.
y Develop the mindsets, skillsets, and toolsets of designers, art-
ists, and innovators
y How to connect more deeply with customers to discover op-
portunities for innovation
y Break through barriers that have kept you stuck
y Experiment with idea generation, critical thinking, aesthetic
ways of knowing, problem-solving and rapid-prototyping
y Foster a culture that enhances creativity and innovation
y Generate ideas to seed your innovation ecosystem
Design thinking is advance way of innovation for same persis-
tent problems of Man-Material-Machine which is being very inten-
sive in Textile Industry purely because of its nature of operation

With the Bianco Hap-

tomer, which are the most sensitive to shrinkage and have got the
highest oil content. This technology can be successfully applied on
all kinds of fabrics, which need to be washed before heat setting.
The Bianco Happy Scour® is mounted in front of a stenter and
when combined with a traditional squeezing padder, allows con-
tinuous in-line preparation and fabrics are produced in a way, so do
not need washing before dyeing.
Bianco Happy Scour® utilises a speciality chemical product for
the scouring of oils, expressly developed for this purpose, which
contains natural water-soluble compound; cleaning agent; dispers-
ing agent and lastly a sequestering agent. The technology guaran-
tees an absolutely tensionless process and furthermore the special
treatment in the washing tank with nozzles, helps create a gentle

By using this Bianco machine, there is no smoke at the stenter’s
entry and exit and after heat setting, fabrics scoured with Bianco
Happy Scour®, also have a soft and natural handle, as all the oils
are removed before the fabrics enters the stenter and do not get
burnt into the fabric.
When using conventional technologies, the smell of knitting
oils inside untreated fabric is unmistakable, but when processing

ing that oils have been removed.
After heat setting, the fabrics which have been scoured in Hap-
py Scour® will incur far less yellowing and have a better uniform
tone compared to partially scoured fabrics, as fabrics scoured im-
properly will never give a perfect dyeing result. While printed or
dyed fabrics appear uniform, compact and with a soft handle with-
out adding softeners, when fabrics are processed on the Happy
Scour®.
The shortening of the dyeing time, due to the absence of fabric

properties remain, almost unchanged. The Happy Scour® process
also guarantees the best recipe in terms of performance and cost
saving.
The consumption of water inside the washing tank is only given
by the fabrics’ absorption. The second rinsing tank gives excellent
results, primarily due to the innovative nozzles washing fabrics on
both sides, thereby leading to extremely reduced water consump-
tion in the range of 4-6 litres per kg of fabrics.

3) Since the manufacturing is done in India, the company
has the advantage of saving on labour and infrastructure cost,
which are far lesser as compared to imported machines.
“ColorJet digital printers have minimalistic downtimes; since
we ensure that multi-point quality checks are done at every stage
of manufacturing. Creating customer delight is our top priority and
we do not leave any stone unturned in achieving the same,” Mr
Smarth Bansal, Brand Manager at Colorjet India said.
At ITME India in Hall 2, Stall A6, ColorJet is showcasing its high
speed direct to fabric printer, the Metro, which gives a production
speed of up to of 362 sq. metres per hour, and is upgradable upto
16 print heads for achieving the top speed.
The high speed is achieved through specially designed jetting
controls to optimise print heads performance, to match the high
jetting frequency. Compatible to work with all types of inks like re-
active, disperse and pigment, this printer weaves magic on a vari-
ety of fabrics.
Automatic temperature control enables print heads to deliver

“With awesome scalable properties, this printer can suit all the
needs of the textile printing business and ensures the least payback
period and is capable of meeting the ever changing requirements,”
Mr Bansal added. “Buyers to the ColorJet stall at ITME India will be

One of the oldest Indian manufacturer and exporter of card
clothing and card room accessories, ICC Ltd is showcasing its award
winning ‘Tops Height Measuring’ (THM) device, an innovative ‘On
Card’ technology, to solve uncertainty and a pain area faced by
spinners in the carding department at the upcoming ITME India in
hall H1, stall D - 26.
The THM, which has been developed by ICC’s own research
development team, is a well thought and engineered device, which

THM can also be used to know the distortion in tops due to
change in production rate, raw material and settings. In addition to
this, the THM can avoid excessive cylinder wear out on account of
