DECENTRALISED COTTON TEXTILE INDUSTRY IN INDIA

 UPSC GS MAINS IMPORTANT QUESTION


Analyse the factors for highly decentralised cotton textile industry in India



Maharashtra and Gujarat were the traditional regions of cotton cultivation and preferred areas for textile industries. However off late it was realized that cotton is extremely light weight as a raw material and also a non-perishable item. Therefore setting up textile industries away from the cotton growing areas seemed viable.





With the expansion of irrigation, the non-traditional regions also took up cotton cultivation. Besides better transportation infrastructure also facilitated scattered locations of textile industries.

Other factors that determine the location of textile industries are:
1. Proximity to the market
2. Availability of water for dyeing and bleaching
3.Reliable power supply to run power looms and other machinery.
4.Availability of cheap labor.
5.Availability of capital/finance.

Since the textile industry require relatively less capital and labor, it can be set up anywhere , where the raw materials could be transported. Therefore gradually the textile industries started shifting to small towns scattered all over the country where the required facilities will be available.
