Scheme for Growth and Development of Technical Textiles(SGDTT)

To tap the potential of technical textiles and to unleash the investments in this industry, the govt. has launched Scheme for Growth and Development of Technical Textiles (SGDTT) during 2007-08. SGDTT comprises of 3 components: i. Baseline survey of technical textile industry, ii. Creation of awareness iii. Setting up of Centres of Excellence (COEs)

Baseline Survey Of Technical Textiles Industry in India

To strengthen the database of technical textiles industry,

the ICRA Management Consultancy Services (IMaCS) was appointed to conduct the baseline survey at a cost of Rs 54.50 lakhs. The agency has submitted the report and the same has been approved & placed in the exclusive website for technical textile : www.technotex.gov.in The report contains market size of 12 segments, potential of technical textiles and details of producers, importers and exporters of all categories of Technical Textiles.

Creation of Awareness:

NITRA has been assigned task on formulation of regulations in respect of Protective Textiles with a financial outlay of Rs. 25 lakhs. NITRA will study the legislations/labour laws prevailing with respect to safety wear of industrial workers in European countries and suitability of such legislations in Indian context with respect to 64 Indian legislations. The study is expected to be completed in next six months.

IMaCS has been selected for preparation of Report & Presentation for facilitating interactions with the nodal officers of four user ministries for developing the regulations in Agrotech, Meditech, Protech & Geotech segment of technical textiles. The study will be carried out at the cost of Rs. 7.2 lakhs.

 One of the major cause which is hampering the growth and

development of technical textiles is non-availability of standards for technical textiles products. To quicken the process of standards formulation by BIS, Textile Commissioner has set up four committees in four segments of Protech, Agrotech, Geotech and Meditech. The Committees comprise of members from Industry, Technical Institutes, Government bodies with Director of respective COE as Convener. The Committees were constituted in October, 2009. The Committees have been entrusted with the responsibility of formulation of Standards so that the same could be forwards to BIS for early finalisation and notification of standards. Five reports of the committee containing recommendations/draft standards one each on Geotech, protech, Agrotech and two reports Meditech segment have been forwarded to BIS.

Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS)
