Heyya!

Traditionally, cloth was woven by hand. This hand loom industry was faced by the challenge of competing with power loom woven textiles from England. Thus, Indian hand loom industry lost to mill-made cloth. However, modern textile industries face some problems of today like irregular power supply. Challenges regarding low output of labour and competition from synthetic fibre industry are other major problems that plague the India cotton industry. Machines in the spinning and weaving sectors have to be upgraded for greater production.  


Textile industry started operating in India in the early 19th century, in the early stages of development; the textile industry faced many problems mainly because most countries, governments supported industrialization by imposing heavy duties on imports.

And during the colonial period when Britain took control over Indian trade the situation tightened. Further the manufacturers were exploited and were forced to sell their products to Britain at reduced costs. Hence it left limited space for Indian weavers and merchants to develop.

The textile industry showed signs of development when First World War decline textile imports in Britain and it lead to the development of the Indian cotton textiles to produce and supply war supplies.

Hope it helps! : )
