Tardy ProgressThere are only two ways of strengthening a manufacturing base:
One is develop a strong, self-reliant technological ground and the
other is to join hands with those who have such a base and absorb
the technological prowess. Indian textile machinery industry has
failed to some extent on these two counts.
India’s domestic textile machinery and
engineering sector staged a commendable
comeback two years ago, boosted by
new project investments under the
TUF Scheme and special textile policies
of textile-leading states such as Gujarat,
Maharashtra and Rajasthan. It achieved
a growth rate of 20 per cent over the
last fiscal, touching a turnover of
Rs 67.8 billion. However, for in FY 2014-15,
the production value of mainstream
textile machinery, accessories, spares
and consumables improved only by 3 per cent to a turnover level
of Rs 69.6 billion.
There have been sporadic examples of excellence. LMW is one,
which has launched new machines year after year, and has been
cornering a good share of the export market. It has acquired
a reputation comparable to companies like Rieter, on its own.
But today, almost 63 per cent, or two thirds, of all textile machinery
demand is met via imports even though the overall production
capacity of the domestic textile machinery sector is around
Rs 110 billion. The capacity utilisation has stagnated at 60 per cent.
Overall demand for textile machinery by the Indian textile industry
is increasing at a CAGR of 12-15 per cent over the past years. What we
need is a healthy dose of R&D, particularly in the weaving and
processing segments. Or beneficial joint ventures with foreign
technology with an eye on reducing total dependence. Anything
short of this will not be of any use in the medium or long term for
the industry.
