Textile Machinery The
Indian Textile Machinery industry, which began as an offshoot of the textile
industry, is today reckoned as one of the largest sector in the country.
Indian textile machinery manufacturers produce sophisticated machines of higher
speeds and production capability, at competitive prices. The sector also gets
significated support from the well developed IT industry. In
the earlier part of the decade the growth of textile engineering industry was
hampered due to lack of automation. However, the technology for automation of
textile machinery has improved immensely leading to development of indigenous
machines comparable to those manufactured in industrially advanced countries.
Substantial and sustained efforts to strengthen indigenous technology were
made and today the major manufacturers supply moderen machines. Most of the
latest technologies in automation are concentrating largely on making the new
version more flexible, energy efficient and perfect through use of
microprocessors and computers. The
Textile Engineering Industry (TEI) has developed over the last five decades
and has played vital role in the modernization of the textile industry.
Efforts to develop indigenous R&D and technical back up have been
circumscribed by the dependence of indigenous textile engineering units on
the foreign manufacturers to supply advanced technology. Most of the
prominent textile machinery manufacturers across the globe have
technical/financial collaborations with indigenous producers. Coimbatore
in Tamil Nadu is a
major hub for the Textile Machinery manufacturing industry. Most of the
manufacturers fall under medium and large scale category. Some of tthe key
machines manufactured are: o
Knitting
and Spinning Machines o
Textile
Testing Equipments o
Wrapping
