early years . What factors were responsible for the decentralisation of the industry? Mention three main
problems faced by the industry. What is the contribution of textile industry to Indian economy?​

Answer 1

Answer:

factors responsible for localisation of cotton textile industry in Maharashtra-Gujarat region in  early years are availability of raw cotton, markets, transport, port facilities, labour , moist climate,etc. contributed towards its localisation .

While spinning continues to be centralised in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, weaving is highly decentralised throughout the country. this is so as to provide scope for incorporating traditional skills and designs of waeving in cotton, zari, embroidery,etc.

Problems faced are-

1. power supply is erractic.
2. outdated machineries and needs to be upgraded.
3. low output of labour.
4. stiff competition from synthetic fibre industry.

The textile industry occupies a unique position in Indian economy because it contributes significantly to industrial production, employment generation and foreign exchange.It contributes 4% towards the national GDP.It is the only industry in country which is self reliant and complete in value chain that is from raw material to the highest value added products.
