SPINNING MILLS

Posted On: 24 MAR 2026 3:20PM by PIB Delhi As per Annual Survey of Industry, Ministry of Statistics & PI, State/UT-wise, including Tamil Nadu, total number of spinning mills, number of spinning mills in operation and others is attached given below. Ministry of Textiles does not maintain data of closed spinning mills separately. The key initiatives taken by the Government to support spinning mills in the country includes following: Technology Up-gradation and Modernization: Amended Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (ATUFS) to p rovide credit-linked Capital Investment Subsidies (CIS) to textile units for purchasing benchmarked machinery, helping mills modernize and reduce their environmental footprint. Spinning Mill Modernization Schemes: State-specific initiatives, such as those in Tamil Nadu, offer interest subsidies for replacing machinery older than five years. Mini Textile Park Schemes: Subsidies for developing infrastructure, buildings, and machinery for smaller units. Raw Material Supply and Price Stabilization: Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) Support: The government directs CCI to sell cotton stocks purchased under the Minimum Support Price (MSP) directly to MSME-category spinning mills to ensure availability.&emsp;&emsp; Special Sales/Discounts : CCI offers discounts (e.g., Rs. 300/- per candy) to MSME mills, cooperative sector mills, and Khadi industries to boost competitiveness. Yarn Supply Scheme (YSS): Ensures availability of raw materials at "mill gate prices" to handloom weavers, indirectly supporting steady demand for yarn. Kasturi Cotton Initiative : Focuses on branding, traceability, and certification to promote Indian cotton quality, benefiting the entire supply chain from farm to mill. Financial Assistance and Incentives: Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme: Encourages production of high-value Man-Made Fiber (MMF) fabrics and technical textiles, attracting investment and promoting eco-friendly manufacturing. Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL): Provides tax rebates on exported garments and made-ups, boosting downstream demand for yarn. Interest Equalization Schemes : Increased rates for pre- and post-shipment credit to support MSME exporters. Special Package for Textiles (2016): Included measures like additional production subsidies under ATUFS, EPF contribution support, and tax concessions. Infrastructure Development: PM-MITRA Parks: Establishment of 7 Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel Parks with world-class, plug-and-play facilities to reduce logistics costs and improve efficiency. Integrated Processing Development Scheme (IPDS): Supports new and upgraded Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) to help mills meet environmental standards. SAMARTH Scheme (Scheme for Capacity Building in Textile Sector): Aims to provide demand - driven, placement-oriented training to create a skilled workforce for the sector. These initiatives collectively address the need for upgraded technology, skilled manpower, rising raw material costs, and un-integrated supply chains.
