(a) Shortage of raw materials-Raw material determines 35 % of the total production cost. The country is short of cotton, particularly long- staple cotton which is imported from Pakistan, Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, Egypt, Tanzania, U.S.A. and Peru. It is pity that despite largest area under cotton (26 % of the world acreage) the country accounts for only 9 percent of the world output of cotton. Fluctuating prices and uncertainties in the availability of raw material cause low production and sickness to the mills.
(b) Obsolete machinery-In India most of the cotton textile mills are working with old and obsolete machinery. According to one estimate in India over 60 % of the spindles are more than 25 years old. The automatic looms account for only 18 % of the total number of looms in the country against the world average of 62 % and 100 % in the United States. Obsolete machinery leads to low output and poor quality of goods as a result of which Indian textile goods are not able to face competition in the international market.
