Textile Industry in Rajasthan
Textile is an important industry for Rajasthan, representing over 20 per cent of
the investment made in the state. Rajasthan contributes over 7.5 per cent of Indias
production of cotton and blended yarn (235,000 tones in 2002-03) and over 5 per
cent of fabrics (60 million sq meters).
The key factor responsible for development of textile industry in Rajasthan is availability
of cotton and wool in the state. Production of cotton in Rajasthan has, however,
declined from over 1.4 million bales in 1996- 97 (approx. 10 per cent of Indias
production) to 0.7 million bales 2003-04. Wool production in Rajasthan has grown
from 16 million kg in 1992-93 to around 20 million kg, currently representing over
40 per cent of Indias wool production.
Abundant availability of this key raw material has prompted many textile units to
locate in the state. With a network of backward and forward linkage, Rajasthans
textile industry offers significant competitive advantage to the industry. Availability
of trained labor is another factor contributing to the success of the industry in
the state.
