The initiative commenced on Wednesday, as announced by a press release from the Deputy Director (Textiles) in Coimbatore.The Tamil Nadu government proposed to provide skill-based training to workers employed in various sectors of the textile industry, including textile manufacturing, spinning, weaving, knitting, and garment production. The primary objective of this training initiative is to equip workers with knowledge about technology advancements and the latest developments in the textile sector.Beneficiaries of this training program, including unemployed individuals, are assured of guaranteed job placements. Additionally, existing workers can expect enhanced pay, with salaries potentially increasing up to ₹8000 per month from their current earnings.In a five-year plan, the state government aims to provide skill-based training to a total of 8,950 workers across the textile industry.The training initiative is a joint effort involving the TN Skill Development Corporation, SITRA, and the Textiles Department. Experts will serve as resource persons to provide comprehensive training.The first step of this initiative involved signing Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with textile units, with LS Mills in Theni approved as one of the training centers.

It is scheduled to conclude on May 20.The inaugural session witnessed the presence of key figures including the General Manager of Theni LS Mills, Anandan, the Deputy General Manager (DGM) R P Nivas, Regional Deputy Director (Textiles) Raghavan, and SITRA scientific officer Vaithianathan, as highlighted in the press release.Read More....👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻Textile Industry Set for Rebound : CRISIL SME Tracker Analysis

Textile Industry Set for Rebound : CRISIL SME Tracker AnalysisThe CRISIL SME Tracker reports that the textile industry is poised for a rebound in revenue after experiencing two years of contraction. The previous financial years were challenging due to volatile cotton prices and subdued export demand. However, the industry is expected to close this financial year with lower revenue due to a correction in cotton prices and subdued exports of readymade garments.Export markets, which typically contribute a significant portion to the textile industry, have been affected by slowdowns in key markets. Nevertheless, domestic demand has remained steady, which is a positive sign for the industry, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) constituting about 75% of the textile value chain.In the upcoming financial year, growth is expected to revive driven by sustained domestic demand, stable cotton prices, and an anticipated recovery in exports. Stable cotton prices are forecasted due to lower consumption compared to production, which maintains the cost competitiveness of the cotton textile value chain. Volume growth for cotton spinners is expected to normalize after a significant surge this year.For readymade garment (RMG) players, volumes are projected to increase gradually in line with improvements in major export destinations such as the US, EU, and UK. However, key export-oriented RMG clusters like Tirupur, Bengaluru, and Mumbai may experience slower revenue growth compared to clusters with higher reliance on the domestic market like Kolkata, Kanchipuram, and Ludhiana.Despite the current contraction, profitability is anticipated to improve in the coming period due to stable cotton prices and reduced inventory losses. Medium-term prospects are bolstered by free trade agreements with the UK and the establishment of textile parks under the PM MITRA scheme, aiming to enhance India's competitiveness in the RMG sector. Additionally, the Production Linked Incentive scheme is expected to provide a further boost to domestic manufacturing.Read More....👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻CCI Procures 32.81 Lakh Bales of Cotton at MSP for 2023-24 Season

Challenges Mount for Indian Textile ExportsThe textile industry, a significant contributor to India's export economy, has witnessed a decline in exports over the past year, according to government sources. This decline is attributed to a combination of factors including subdued global demand and geopolitical tensions, particularly the Red Sea conflict.Between April 2023 and February 2024, textile exports experienced an annual fall. Readymade garment exports fell from $14.73 billion to $13.05 billion, yarn shipments decreased from $4.47 billion to $4.23 billion, and jute exports declined from $400 million to $310 million during this period. However, there has been a positive sign in February 2024 with over 12% growth in textile exports compared to the previous year.The Red Sea conflict has played a significant role in exacerbating the situation, leading to increased shipping costs and longer turnaround times. This has been attributed to reduced services by private shipping lines. In response, an inter-ministerial panel has been convened to address the impact of the conflict. The Department of Financial Services has been directed to ensure a steady flow of credit for exporters, while the Ministry of Shipping has been tasked with monitoring trade volumes.Overall, the government is working to mitigate the challenges faced by the textile export sector, recognizing the importance of maintaining competitiveness in the global market amidst evolving geopolitical dynamics and economic uncertainties.Read More....👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻January 2024: Import of Indian cotton yarn in China increases

CCI Procures 32.81 Lakh Bales of Cotton at MSP for 2023-24 SeasonThe Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) has announced that it has procured 32.81 lakh bales of cotton at minimum support price (MSP) during the ongoing 2023-24 season. The majority of the cotton has been acquired from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat.As the government's designated agency for cotton procurement at MSP, CCI intervenes when market prices fall below the MSP level. Last year, CCI did not engage in procurement as market prices remained above MSP. However, this season, prices began to decline from mid-October 2023, prompting CCI to initiate procurement operations.According to a senior CCI official, around 32.81 lakh bales, each weighing 170 kg, have been purchased at MSP so far. Notably, CCI has already sold 3.70 lakh bales of the procured cotton.For the 2023-24 season, the government has set MSP at Rs 6,620 per quintal for medium staple cotton and Rs 7,020 per quintal for long-staple cotton.With cotton prices in the open market currently surpassing MSP, it is unlikely that farmers will sell their produce to CCI. However, the agency remains prepared for procurement if market rates drop below the support price again.The estimated cotton production for the 2023-24 season stands at 323.11 lakh bales, a decrease from the 336.6 lakh bales achieved in the previous season, according to estimates from the agriculture ministry.Read more....👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻Growth in China's Cotton Linter Imports
