Consumption of Technical Textiles • Technical Textiles consumes 22% of total fibre consumption globally. • Consumption of technical textiles more in developed countries • USA : 23% • Europe : 22% • China : 13% • India : 04%
Technical Textiles in India • Total domestic production worth Rs. 35327 crores (2007-08), likely to grow to Rs. 62438 crores (2012-13) • Total market size including exports worth Rs. 37118 crores, likely to become Rs. 66634 crores by 2012-13 • Total employment - 8.8 lakh persons • Total Exports - Rs. 2759 crores (2007-08) • Total Imports - Rs. 3897 crores (20007-08)
Why Technotex ? • New Initiative by Ministry to realize the untapped potential of the sector • Creating awareness for a better, secure and sustainable life • Creating synergy between the Government, Industry and the consumers (public & private) • Attempting to raise the Indian man fibre consumption at par with world trend of 60:40 in favor of manmade fibres • Technology Mission on Technical Textiles
Initiatives by Ministry of Textiles to promote technical textiles • Scheme for promotion of technical textiles in Xith Plan (48 crores) • Concessional rate of 5 percent customs duty on most of the technical textile machinery • Reduction in excise duty on man-made fibre and filament yarns : major raw material for technical textiles. • Coverage of technical textile machinery under TUFS.
Government Initiatives • Under TUFS, 10% capital subsidy on identified technical textile machinery has been provided in line with processing machinery. • Withdrawal of excise duty exemption on sanitary napkins / baby diapers / incontinence diapers. • Anomaly in customs duty has been removed on finished goods vis-à-vis raw material, i.e., Aramid fabrics vis-à-vis aramid yarn. • Inclusion of technical textiles in Focus Product Scheme
Centres of Excellence (CE) • In line with U.K. System, Centers of Excellence for four segments have been launched by the Govt.
Major Applications of Geotech • Railways • Roads • Landfill Engineering • Coastal Protection, River Training and Water Resources Management • Ground Improvement • Hydraulic Engineering Applications • Waterproofing of dams, canals, tunnels, pipes etc. • Sport fields, golf courses, airfields, agriculture, aquaculture, liquid transportation, • Dwellings, Industrial buildings, storage/staging areas, tank farms, parks and playgrounds, pools and lakes
Scope for Geotech • Total market size of technical textiles in 2007-08, Rs.37118 crores out of which Geotech only Rs. 185 crores (0.5%) • Indian Road Network, second largest in the world, 33 lakh kilometers (Approx) • Expressways - 200km • National Highways - 70,548 kms • State highways – 1,31,899 Kms • Major District Roads – 4,67,763 Kms • Rural & Other Roads – 26,50,000 Kms
Total Roads under NHDP – 33,455 Kms • Total Roads under NHAI – 34,797 Kms • Projects under implementation and yet to be taken – 21,000 Kms • Total future requirements of Geotextiles for 21,000 Km roads under NHAI, would be worth Rs.1260 crores, that is seven times of the present market size of geotech in India • Under Bharat Nirman (PMGSY) total target for 2009-10 is new connectivity of 24000 Kms which will require jute geotextiles worth Rs. 768 crores • Rural Roads Development Plan- Vision 2025 – sky may be the limit for geotextiles
The Roadblocks • Lack of awareness about geotextiles and its benefits • Lack of Standards & specifications • Lack of spread of application technology • Long test trial approach delaying adoption • More emphasis on physical targets i.e, ‘Kms’ and ‘population benefited’ rather sustainability • Lack of sizable productions- production against firm orders- lack of investment • Lack of regulations/ inclusion in schedule of rates/ specific adoption in Govt. schemes
Projections for Eleventh Five Year Plan • During the Eleventh Plan with regulatory framework, technical textile industry is expected to register a growth of 24.57%. • Without regulatory framework growth rate is likely to be about 11%.
