Meanwhile, the Indian government has implemented Technology Mission on Technical Textiles (TMTT), which Indian government has launched the Technology Mission on Technical Textiles with two Mini Missions for five years starting from the year 2010 to 2011 with an outlay of Rs. 200 crore. The main objectives of the scheme include standardization, creating common testing facilities with national or international accreditation, indigenous development of prototypes and resource centre with IT infrastructure and support for domestic and export market development of technical textiles etc.

Moreover, formulation of special schemes for the North East Region for demonstrating improvement in agriculture and infrastructure through the increased usage and promotion of Agro and Geo Technical Textiles, respectively.

Major machinery for manufacture of technical textiles has been covered under Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) with 10% capital subsidy in addition to 5% interest reimbursement to the specified technical textile machinery. Under the Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP), the Indian government provides assistance for creation of infrastructure in the parks to the extent of 40% limited to Rs.40 crore in which technical textile units can also benefit. The major machinery for production of technical textiles is covered in the concessional customs duty list of 5%.
