INDUSTRY PROFILE
Silk is the most elegant textile in the world with unparalleled grandeur, natural
sheen, and inherent affinity for dyes, high absorbance, light weight, soft touch and
high durability and known as the “Queen of Textiles” the world over. On the other
hand, it stands for livelihood opportunity for millions owing to high employment
oriented, low capital intensive and remunerative nature of its production. The very
nature of this industry with its rural based on-farm and off-farm activities and
enormous employment generation potential has attracted the attention of the
planners and policy makers to recognize the industry among one of the most
appropriate avenues for socio-economic development of a largely agrarian
economy like India. The silk industry has a distinctive position in India, that plays
a significant role in textile industry and export. India is the 2nd largest producer of
silk in the world with 23060 metric tonnes (MT) (2011-12) and also the largest
consumer of silk in the world and contributes 15 per cent of the total world raw
silk production. Geographically, Asia is the main producer of silk in the world and
manufactures over 95 per cent of the total global output. Although there are over
40 countries on the world map of that produce silk, bulk of it is produced in China
and India, followed by Japan, Brazil and Korea. China is the leading supplier of
silk to the world with an annual production of 1,24,000 MT (2011-12), out of
which the Mulberry raw silk production is 90,980 MT. India produces a varieties
of silks such as Mulberry, Tasar, Muga and Eri, based production of raw silk,
which is the yarn obtained from cocoons spun by certain species of insects. In
India, mulberry silk is produced mainly in the states of Karnataka, Andhra
Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Jammu & Kashmir and West Bengal, while the non-
mulberry silks are produced in Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Orissa and north-eastern
states.
India is well known for its textile goods from very ancient times. The traditional
textile industry of India was virtually decayed during the colonial regime.
However, the modern textile industry took its birth in India in the early nineteenth
century when the first textile mill in the country was established at Fort Gloster
near Calcutta in 1818. The cotton textile industry made its real beginning in
Bombay, in 1850s. The first cotton textile mill of Bombay was established in
1
1854. From its inception, the industry passed through vicissitude of fortune till it
reached its present status. As the industry grew up, the yarn trade with China
fetched it good profit. The Indian market was not favourable initiallt, because of
competition with Lancashire goods, but the natural advantages of humid climate,
raw materials and an external market helped the growth of the industry
considerably. During the later part of the last century, Japan became a rival to
India in yarn trade with China and the Far Eastern Asia. During the First World
War (1914-1918), Japan obtained better opportunities for marketing her yarn in
China (Roy, 1996).1 India was dependent considerably on the United Kingdom
for the supply of machinery, caustic soda, bleaching powder, etc., for her cotton
mills. The home market was not favourable to the industry because of competition
with Lancashire fabrics which poured into India in large quantities. Production of
yarn was more profitable than the production of cloth, since yarn could be
marketed outside. Railway freight charges in India for transporting coal to the
cotton mills were high as the coal had to be obtained from the Damodar Valley,
the only important coal producing area in the country. It was, therefore, more
profitable to import coal from South Africa by sea route for the cotton mills in
India. This situation continued till water power was developed in Bombay and
other areas in the early part of the 20th century.2 The two world wars and the
Swadeshi movement provided great stimulus to the Indian cotton textile industry.
However, during the period 1922 to 1937 the industry was in doldrums and during
this period a number of Bombay mills changed hands. The Second World War,
during which textile import from Japan completely stopped, however, brought
about an unprecedented growth in this industry. The number of mills increased
from 178 with 4.05 lakh looms in 1901 to 249 mills with 13.35 lakh looms in
1921 and further to 396 mills with over 20 lakh looms in 1941. Thus by 1945,
there were 417 mills employing 5.10 lakh workers (Sastry, 1984).
After independence, the cotton textile industry made rapid strides under the Plans.
Between 1951 and 1982, the total number of spindles doubled from 11 million to
22 million. It increased further to over 47 million by 2011-12. The Indian textile
sector plays an exceptionally significant role in shaping the economy of India
notably in terms of employment, foreign exchange earnings and share in value
added. This sector is the second largest sector after agriculture. It has come of age
2
and is gaining acknowledgment on the world platform with excellent textiles
manufacturing base and availability of massive raw material. India being the
second largest producer of cotton in the world, makes it self sufficient, by
providing a competitive edge to its competitors worldwide in terms of cost of raw
materials. Along with abundant cotton production, India has the availability of
highly skilled labour at very low prices .
Silk is a lustrous, tough, elastic fibre produced by the larvae of silkworms; the
term also covers the thread or cloth made from this fibre. The silk industry
originated in China, as early as 2640 BC according to tradition. Towards the 3rd
century AD, knowledge of the silkworm and its product reached Japan through
Korea; it probably spread to India a little later. India is the largest consumer of silk
in the world. Silk is a unique fabric which has gradually crept in everybody's
home in some way or the other. The Indian silk industry is an integral part of the
Indian textile industry and is among the oldest industries in India. It engages
around 60 lakh workers and it involves small and marginal farmers. Mulberry,
Tasar, Muga and Eri are the types of silk produced in the Indian silk industry.
Indian silk industry is the second highest contribution of silk to the world
production. Consistent market demand and remarkable approach has led to the
widening of this industry (Bhushi and Pharsiyawar, 2004).9 Silk is mainly
produced in Pochampally, Kanchipuram, Dharmavaram, Mysore, etc., in South
India and Banaras in the North for manufacturing garments and sarees.
"Murshidabad silk", famous from historical times, is mainly produced in Malda
and Murshidabad districts of West Bengal and woven with hand looms in
Birbhum and Murshidabad districts. Another place famous for production of silk
is Bhagalpur. The silk from Pochampally is particularly well known for its classic
designs and enduring quality. The silk is traditionally hand-woven and hand-dyed
and also usually has silver threads woven into the cloth. ESIL is one of the largest
high – end fabric manufactures in the World. Facilities at ESIL’s factory and

goes into advertisements and promotions. Eastern silk followed a word-of-
mouth promotion strategy initially and did not spend much on promotions
and advertising.
4.3 MANUFACTURING
Silk has set the standard in luxury fabrics for several millennia. The origins of silk
date back to Ancient China. Legend has it that a Chinese princess was sipping tea
in her garden when a cocoon fell into her cup, and the hot tea loosened the long
strand of silk. Ancient literature, however, attributes the popularization of silk to
the Chinese Empress Si-Ling, to around 2600 B.C. Called the Goddess of the
Silkworm, Si-Ling apparently raised silkworms and designed a loom for making
silk fabrics. The secret to silk production is the tiny creature known as the
silkworm, which is the caterpillar of the silk moth Bombyx mori. It feeds solely
on the leaves of mulberry trees. Only one other species of moth, the Antheraea
mylitta, also produces silk fiber. This is a wild creature, and its silk filament is
about three times heavier than that of the cultivated silkworm. Its coarser fiber is
called tussah.
The life cycle of the Bombyx mori begins with eggs laid by the adult moth. The
larvae emerge from the eggs and feed on mulberry leaves. In the larval stage, the
Bombyx is the caterpillar known as the silkworm. The silkworm spins a protective
cocoon around itself so it can safely transform into a chrysalis. In nature, the
chrysalis breaks through the cocoon and emerges as a moth. The moths mate and
the female lays 300 to 400 eggs. A few days after emerging from the cocoon, the
moths die and the life cycle continues.
