Status
of development of Technical Textiles
Technical Textiles is a
knowledge-based industry which is at a nascent stage in the country and offers
tremendous opportunities for joint ventures and FDI. Based on usage, there are
12 technical textile segments; Agrotech, Meditech, Buildtech, Mobiltech,
Clothtech, Oekotech, Geotech, Packtech, Hometech, Protech, Indutech and
Sportech. In India, the production of different technical textile items has
been steadily increasing. As per the data released by DGCI&S, Kolkata,
exports of technical textiles have increased by nearly 15% to Rs. 4,237 Crore
in 2012-13 from Rs. 3,678 Crore in 2011-12. The market size of Technical
Textiles in India is projected to Rs.1.5 lakh crores for the year 2016-17 with
a growth rate of 20% per annum.
The Ministry of Textiles has launched a comprehensive
Technology Mission on Technical Textiles (TMTT) on December 15, 2010 with two
mini missions for providing infrastructure support for manufacture of Technical
Textiles and market development support to the Technical Textiles manufacturers
for a period of five years with the fund outlay of Rs. 200 crores. Four Centres
of Excellence (CoE) have been set up for Agrotech at Mumbai; Geotech at
Ahmedabad; Meditech at Coimbatore; and Protech at Ghaziabad. Other than the
four CoEs established under Scheme for Growth and Development of Technical
Textiles (SGDTT), four additional CoEs have been established in the areas of
Nonwovens, Composites, Indutech and Sportech to support the manufacturers of
technical textiles within these growing segments. The additional four new
Centres of Excellence have been set up for Nonwovens at Ichalkaranji,
Maharashtra; Indutech at Coimbatore; Composites at Ahmadabad; and Sportech at
Thane.
