PERFORMANCE OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY IN INDUSTRIALISATION: A STUDY WITH REFERENCE TO INDIA

INTRODUCTION
Prosperity of any nation is extremely difficult without industrial development – is a well established truth for all the economies – developing or developed. Economic development and industrialization have became so closely integrated with each other that progress of an economy is now accessed from the success it has achieved in transformation from agricultural set up into a industrial set up. Through industrialization a situation is created whereby many industries are set up rapidly and ultimately backward areas are converted into economically developed areas and backward economies into developed economies. Industrialization, infact is a composite term which involves a number of structural changes such as changes in the production techniques, factor intensities, industrial employment and output.
Industrialization is not only a way to increase output or national income but is a means of introducing modern technology and changing ways of life and finally the structure of the economy because of its self-reinforcing quality. But the all above cannot be executed without a well planned industrial policy. The industrial polity provides direction to the pace of industrialization and industrial development. Hence, to industrialize the country, India too, framed industrial policy which was amended, modified and reoriented several times. The First Industrial Policy was framed in 1948, followed by the Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956. The Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956 gave direction to the development of industry till 1973 which resulted in sound base of industrial development in the country.
After 1973 the Industrial Policy was amended in 1977 with the objective of accelerating the pace of industrial growth, increasing productivity and income of industrial workers, promoting technological self reliance and increase in the level of employment. After 1977, several amendments were made in the industrial policy but the major landmark change came in 1991 when New Industrial Policy as part of New Economic Policy was introduced. The New Industrial Policy of 1991, infact, was a part of structural reforms introduced which was to change the entire outlook towards the industrial development so that Indian industry is made efficient as well as globally competitive. Under atmosphere of economic reforms, broad changes were introduced. 1

The major policy changes initiated in the industrial sector were:-abolition of Industrial licensing, monopolistic and restrictive Trade Practice limit, free entry to foreign investment and technology, industrial location policy liberalized, removal of mandatory convertible clause, free import of capital goods, deregulation in small scale industrial units. The main aim of this policy was to unshackle the country's indus¬trial economy from the cobwebs of unnecessary bureaucratic control, introduce liberalization with a view to integrate the Indian economy with the world economy.2
The textile sector accounting for a significant portion in industrialization of the country and plays a vital role in the nation’s economy, both in regard to employment generation and earning of foreign exchange. Textile is one of India’s oldest industries and has a formidable presence. This industry has witnessed a phenomenal growth during the last four decades.3
The report of Working Group constituted by the Planning Commission on boosting India’s manufacturing exports during 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17), envisages India’s exports of Textiles and Clothing at USD 64.11 billion by the end of March 2017. The textiles industry accounts for 14% of industrial production, which is 4% of GDP; employs 45 million people and accounts for nearly 11% share of the country’s total exports basket.4
HISTORY OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY IN INDIA
The history of India witnesses the glorious past of its textile industry. Many countries bought textile products from India for exchange of gold and silver. Textile was one of the principal commodities for which India enjoyed its trade at international platform. The inimitability of Indian textiles lies in its fine quality, vibrant colours, elaborate designs, natural sheen. Although India underwent many invasions, suffered slavery and revolution, India's textile proficiency was imitated in the West.5

Prior to British rule in the eighteenth century, Indians had dominated the world textile trade. However, along with the Industrial Revolution, the advent of spindles, looms, and new spinning processes made better textile producers out of the British. In India, the textile industry evolved from being a mere domestic industry to a top notch national industry far before the Industrial Revolution. Thus, the traditional textile industry of India went under de-industrialization during British rule. Nonetheless, modernization of India's textile industry took place during the early 19th century; the first textile mill in the country was established at Fort Gloster near Calcutta in 1818.A few years later, the first cotton textile mill of Bombay was established in 1854 by a Parsi cotton merchant. In 1861, the first cotton mill in Ahmadabad was established in the Gujarat region. By the end of the 19th century, there were 178 cotton textile mills in India. The textile industry made rapid progress in the second half of the nineteenth century.6
Bombay continued to dominate the location patterns; its share in the consumption of cotton is definitely on the decline. While that of the rest of the Presidency including Ahmedabad, has increased considerably. After the Second World War, Swadeshi movement helped the industry to survive. Boycott of foreign goods created a great demand for Indian made goods in the home market. Hence, to serve the local markets many centers developed & old ones which were on or near cotton growing areas & in near proximity to transport arteries for example Kanpur in the north, Bangalore and Coimbatore in the south, Indore in the centre and Calcutta, in the east all showed significant growth. Consumption of the Bombay presidency also remained noteworthy. India achieved independence in 1947, so industries of 1960 had benefits of two plan periods. Compared to 1940, this stage showed a significant growth in terms of consumption of cotton at the major centers as well as at the states.7
Post-independence, till about the late 1980s, the Government of India put numerous policies and regulations in place to ensure that mechanization did not occur and that labour-intensive textiles were produced, large-scale production was discouraged by restrictions on total capacity and mechanization of mills. The labour regulations did not allow capital investment and resulted in high production costs. Imposition of price restrictions, along with decreased productivity, severely hampered the competitiveness of the sector..Till 1985, the main concerns of Government policies were centered on import substitution, protection of existing employment in the organized sector and support for decentralized sector. The textile industry had to be set free from these regulatory burdens so that it could evolve, grow and remain competitive in the global market.8

Indian textile industry is one of the leading textile industries in the world. Though was predominately unorganized industry even a few years back, but the scenario started changing affect the economic liberalization of Indian economy in 1991. The opening up of economy gave the much-needed thrust to Indian textile industry, which has now successfully become one of the largest in the world.10
Indian Textile Industry has an overwhelming presence in the economic life of the country. Apart from providing one of the basic necessities of life, the textile industry also plays a pivotal role through its contribution to industrial output, employment generation and the export earnings of the country. The sector contributes about 14% to the industrial production, 4% to the GDP and 11% to the country’s export earnings. It provides employment to over 35 million people. The textile sector is the second largest provider of employment after agriculture. India has potential to increase its textile and apparel share in the world from the current level of 4.5% to 8%and reach US$ 80 billion by 2020.11
Indian textile industry is one of the leading industry in the world. Currently it is estimated 52 billion. The Indian textile industry is extremely varied, with the hand-spun and hand woven sector at one end of the spectrum, and the capital intensive, sophisticated mill sector at the other. The decentralized powerlooms/hosiery and knitting is largest among textile sector. The close linkage of the industry to agriculture and the ancient culture and tradition of the country make the Indian textile sector unique in comparison with the textile industry of other countries. This also provides the industry with capacity to produce a variety of products suitable to different market segments, both within and outside the country.12
OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
In this background the present study will be an attempt to analyze the performance of textile industry in India. The major objectives of this study are tentatively planned as follows:-
1. To analyze the performance of sub-sectors of textile industry through different selected variables such as profit ratios, trade intensity etc during 2003-13.
2. To make inter sector/firm comparison between the different sector of this industry.
3. To estimate the effect of FDI in this sector.
4. To identify the areas which may be targeted to achieve the higher goals of textile sector.

Shrimali, devendra (2012)17. This paper attempts to study the global textile & clothing trade pattern and export performance of Indian textile & clothing industry vis-à-vis its competitors in the United States market. The empirical findings suggest that India in textile & clothing market of United States not only losing its share to China but also find it difficult to compete with countries like Bangladesh and Cambodia in certain segments. It has also been noticed that Indian exports of textiles & clothing is highly correlated with global trade pattern in contrast to China, Bangladesh etc.
Chaudhary, Asiya (2011) 18. This paper focused largely on Indian textile industry and it position in the world in terms of textile & clothing exports. Further it investigates the role of FDI in the industry & what Indian government is doing for the promotion of the industry. The study focuses whether the impact of MFA phase out was negative or positive. They have calculated Multiple Correlation co-efficient for each factor. The research reveal the there is a positive impact of MFA phase out on Indian textile exporters and their profit.
Ray, Sarbapriya (2011) 19. This study attempts to evaluate and analyse the industrial performance of Indian textile sector in terms of economic capacity utilisation at aggregate level over a period from 1979-80 to 2008-09 and SWOT analysis has also been conducted to have an insight into the performance of the said industry. In this study, Optimal output is defined as the minimum point on the firm’s short run average total cost curve and the rate of capacity utilisation is merely ratio of its actual output to capacity output level. Choice theoretic framework is adopted to estimate the optimal capacity output. The empirical findings suggest that there exist considerable variations in the capacity utilisation rates over years within same industry. There has been declining trend in the growth rate of capacity utilisation in this industry during post reforms period due to slow increase in actual output resulting from stagnated demand probably and rapid expansion of capacity output as a result of abolition of licensing rule consequent to economic reform. It has also been noticed that capacity utilisation in this particular industry has been gradually increasing after Multi-fibre Agreement (MFA) has phased out since 2005, and it continued till economic recession begins during 2008 and the industry is gradually striving harder to sustain its past achievement.

Aziz, Alqa (2011) 20. Studies the ready-made garments (RMG) export performance of India and its competitors in respect of the major import destinations. India is in a position to increase its market share in ready-to-wear garment export to USA after the removal of Quotas. The impact of abolishing of quota system and economic crisis on exports of ready to wear garments to its major markets in post quota regime has been examined. The detailed analysis of recession hit markets brings out the winners and strugglers in the market. This research paper makes a critical appraisal of the prevailing issues affecting the RMG export import trend.
Bedi, Jatinder S. (2009) 21. This study is an attempt to provide alternative estimates of basic parameters of the industry (number of units, output, value added, employment, number of machines/looms, etc.). The study provides a review of the government policies and programmes for the industry by analyzing the relevant documents. It provides some insights into the corrections required in various policy measures and explores various measures to make the industry more efficient and competitive. The detailed analysis of recession hit markets brings out the winners and strugglers in the market. This research paper makes a critical appraisal of the prevailing issues affecting the RMG export import trend. This research is based on a questionnaire survey of ready- to-wear garment exporters in New Delhi, India.
Kathuria, L. M. (2008) 22. discussed that from January 1, 2005, the Multi-Fiber Agreement (MFA) has been replaced by the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC), under which the world trade in textiles and clothing has become free without the restriction of quotas. In the post MFA phase-out era, Indian clothing exporters are likely to face tough competition from countries like China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Mexico in the international market. Hence, the paper examines some of the general implications of MFA phase-out and undertakes an analysis of competitiveness of Indian clothing export sector with the help of Porter’s Diamond Determinants of National Advantage, namely, ‘Factor Conditions’, ‘Demand Conditions’, ‘Related and Supporting Industries’ and ‘Local Rivalry’.

Tewari , Meenu (2005) 23. This paper reviews a growing body of literature that focuses on the institutional organization of global trade networks and production chains. It shows that firms today face altered conditions of competition that are pushing them to compete on the basis of factors other than price and cost competitiveness. The paper also argues that the attribution of China’s remarkable export performance in textiles and apparel to its low unit costs and large scales of production is, in part, a misreading of the China story. The end of quotas and the ongoing churning in the global division of labour in apparel and textiles can be an opportunity for apparel producing firms in India with their severe handicap arising from labour policy induced rigidities, to chart an alternative growth path. This paper provides a view of this alternative.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
For any study research methodology is the most important part which guided the other researchers. In the present study the research methodology is sub divided into following sections:-
A. Identification of the variables
To analyze the performance of the sector, there are number of variables which contribute to the growth rate of the sector. On the basis of review of literature conducted for the study many variables may be selected such as: - trade, profit, no. of employees, income, turnover etc. B. Construction of the variables
On the basis of the possibility of availability of data and time some variables such as profitability ratios, trade intensity and income may be selected.

23 Tewari , Meenu. (2005). “The Role of Price and Cost Competitiveness in Apparel Exports, Post-MFA: A Review”, Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations, November 2005 , working paper no. 173 , retrieved 8 august 2013, http://www.icrier.org/pdf/WP173b.pdf
Profitability Ratios:-
1. Net Profit Ratio:
Net Profit is obtained when operating expenses; interest and taxes are subtracted from the gross profit. It indicates that the portion of sales is left to the proprietors after all costs; charges and expenses have been deducted. Net Profit ratio is differ from the operating Profit to Sales Ratio in as much as it is computed after adding non-operating surplus / deficit.(Difference of non-operating incomes and non-operating expenses). The net profit ratio is measured by dividing profit after tax by Net Sales:

Profit after tax Net Profit Ratio = -------------------- x 100 Net Sales

This ratio is the overall measure of the firm’s ability to turn each rupee sales into net profit. While the net profit is inadequate, the Firm will fail to achieve satisfactory return on owner’s equity due to various reasons. Such as Falling price, rising costs and declining sales Thus, this ratio is very useful to the proprietors and widely used as a measure of overall profitability.

2. Gross Profit Ratio:
“The excess of the net revenue from sales over the cost of merchandise sold is called gross profit, gross profit on sales or gross margin”. This ratio is calculated by dividing the gross profit by net sales and is usually expressed as a percentage. The formula of gross profit ratio is given below: Sales - Cost of Goods Sold Gross Profit Ratio = ----------------------------------- x 100 Sales Gross Profit = ----------------- x 100 Sales
The gross profit ratio highlights the efficiency with which management produces each unit of product as well as it indicates the average spread between the cost of goods sold and the sales revenue. Any fluctuation in the gross ratio is the result of a change in cost of goods sold or sales or both.24

24 Goel, D.K. & Goel, Shelly. (2008). “Financial Accounting”, APC books publication, p.p. 4.36-4.39
3. Operating Profit Ratio
This ratio indicates the relationship between operating profit and net sales in the form of percentage. Operating profit arrived at by adjusting all non-operating expenses and incomes in net profit in the other words it can be said profit before depreciation and taxes. A consistently high ratio tells us the effective and efficient operation of the business. This ratio helps find out the profit arising out of pure production process i.e. the main business of production and sales. Thereby reflecting the effect of other incomes and expenses included in net profit. Operation Profit
Operating Profit Ratio = -----------------------x 100 Net Sales
Operation profit = Sales- (Cost of goods sold + operational expenditure)

4. Earning Per Share (EPS)
Earning per share is widely method of measuring profitability of the common shareholders investment it measures the profit available to the equity shareholders on per share basis. The earning per share is calculated by dividing the profit after taxes by the total number of common shares outstanding. Profit after Tax
Earning Per Share = ----------------------------------------------x 100 Number of Equity share outstanding
The earnings per share simply show the profitability of the firm on a per share basis. It does not reflect how much is paid as dividend and how much is retained in business but as a profitability index. It is a valuable and widely used ratio” Thus, the profitability of common shareholder’s investment can be measured easily by earning per share.

5. Return on Capital Employed.
In day to day use the term “capital employed’ is used to indicate the total investment in the firm whether owners or borrowed. But the capital employed in a firm may be defined in a number of ways and the two most widely accepted definitions are Gross Capital Employed and Net Capital Employed. Gross Capital Employed usually comprises the total assets used in the business while net capital employed consists of the total assets of the business less its current liabilities.

Return on Gross Capital Employed
On the ground that the current liabilities are also a form of capital and all funds must be effectively employed. The Gross Capital Employed concept may be favored by the analyses. Thus;
Gross Capital Employed = Fixed Assets+ Current Assets25

25 ibid
Net Capital Employed
On the ground that further either only short term creditors or only short term debtors should be included in the capital employed. The net capital employed concept may be favored.

Net Capital Employed= Gross capital employed-Current liabilities
OR
Net Capital Employed= Fixed assets- Net working capital

6. Return on Owners Equity:
Return on owner’s equity is also known as return on shareholder’s equity. This ratio shows how the firm will have used the resources of owners. It may true that this ratio is one of the most relationships in financial analysis. The return on owner’s equity is calculated by following formula. Profit after Tax
Return on Owners Equity = --------------------x 100 Owner’s equity
Where, owners equity = share capital + reserve & surplus. This, ratio reflects great interest to present as well as prospective shareholders and also important for management, because management has responsibility of maximizing the owners wealth in the market place.
This ratio would be compared with the ratios for other similar companies as well as the industry average. Thus, it shows the relative performance and strength of the company.

7. Return on Net Worth:-
Return on net worth is also known as return on shareholder’s equity. This ratio shows how the firm will have used the resources of owners. It may true that this ratio is one of the most relationship in financial analysis. This return on owner’s equity is calculated by following formula: Net Profit after Taxes and Interest
Return on Net Worth = -------------------------------------------- x 100 Net Worth

Where, owner’s equity = share capital + reserve & surplus.26

This ratio indicated the extent to which this objective has been fulfilled. This, ratio reflects great interest to present as well as prospective shareholders and also important for management, because management has responsibility of maximizing the owners wealth the market place.
This ratio would be compared with the ratios for other similar companies as well as the industry average. Thus, it shows the relative performance and strength of the company.27 C. Scientific tools and duration of the study

To analyze the performance of textile industry we have selected statistical and ecometrical tools such as correlation/ regression techniques will be used. The present study will cover the period from 2003-13.

...Chapter 3 SMEs IN INDIA: ISSUES AND POSSIBILITIES IN TIMES OF GLOBALISATION Keshab Das Abstract With an impressive history of small firm development policy, in post-Independence India SMEs dominate the industrial scenario through its contribution to generation of employment and income as also tackling the problem of regional disparities. Given the imperatives of globalization, although in certain sectors strong external orientation could be observed even by the early 1980s, it is since 1991 that the small firm policy (and since late 2006, for the MSMEs, including the ‘medium’ for the first time) in India has been keenly pursuing policies that emphasize the importance of internationalization, trade and inter-dependence in the spheres of innovation, learning, market and business strategies. An examination of the performance of the small enterprises has been attempted here, underscoring the. unimpressive performance and composition of exports and the widespread efforts at SME cluster promotion without a sound regional development perspective. Despite an elaborate and dynamic policy framework, the progress of Indian SMEs continues to be hindered by some of the basic constraints as poor credit availability, low levels of technology (hence, low product quality and limited exportability) and inadequate or no basic infrastructure, both physical and economic. It is too early to assess the impact and effectiveness of a plethora of new policy measures, announced very recently. Through a...

OUTSOURCING IN THE NEW STRATEGY OF MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES: FOREIGN INVESTMENT, INTERNATIONAL SUBCONTRACTING AND PRODUCTION RELOCATION* WLADIMIR ANDREFF Professor Emeritus University Paris 1 Panthon Sorbonne Centre d’Economie de la Sorbonne. ABSTRACT. The article is dealing in the first place with the definition of (offshore) outsourcing in relation with foreign direct investment and international subcontracting process, as well as with some connected issues such as fragmentation of the production process, international production relocation, de-industrialisation in developed countries and industrialisation in newly industrialising, now coined emerging countries. In the second place, it aims at finding how global strategy differentiates from traditional MNC strategies and how much outsourcing fits with such global strategy. The last section of the article briefly screens the economic impact of outsourcing on the world trade structure – with the two enlightening snapshots of global trade in sports goods and European Union 15’s outward processing trade with Central Eastern European countries (CEECs)-, as well as on home developed and host emerging countries. The article conclusion is that outsourcing has grown faster than world trade in the past two decades and has skyrocketed during the very last years because it is a...

Development of Apparel Industry in Bangladesh

...Development of Apparel Industry in Bangladesh Garment Industry Large-scale production of readymade garments (RMG) in organised factories is a relatively new phenomenon in Bangladesh. Until early sixties, individual tailors made garments as per specifications provided by individual customers who supplied the fabrics. The domestic market for readymade garment, excepting children wears and men's knit underwear (genji) was virtually non-existent in Bangladesh until the sixties. Since the late 1970s, the RMG industry started developing in Bangladesh primarily as an export-oriented industry although, the domestic market for RMG has been increasing fast due to increase in personal disposable income and change in life style. The sector rapidly attained high importance in terms of employment, foreign exchange earnings and its contribution to GDP. In 1999, the industry employed directly more than 1.4 million workers, about 80% of whom were female. With the growth of RMG industry, linkage industries supplying fabrics, yarns, accessories, packaging materials, etc. have also expanded. In addition, demand for services like transportation, banking, shipping and insurance has increased. All these have created additional employment. The total indirect employment created by the RMG industry in Bangladesh is estimated to be some 200,000 workers. In addition to its economic contribution, the expansion of the RMG industry has caused noticeable social changes by bringing more than 1.12 million...

Recent Unrest in the Rmg Sector of Bangladesh: Is This an Outcome of Poor Labour Practices?

...Department of Business Administration, East West University 43 Mohakhali, Dhaka 1212, Bangladesh Tel: 880-181-888-3767 Received: July 2, 2011 doi:10.5539/ijbm.v7n3p206 Abstract The RMG sector of Bangladesh has experienced disputes and violent protest by the workers in recent times. This study explores the reasons for recent unrest in the garment sector. Since managers are mainly responsible for applying human resource practices, this paper has given particular attention to their views on recent attitude changes of workers. Results show that mutual understanding among workers and managers is absent in the RMG sector. This study also states that high-work load, poor behaviour of line managers, low skills and low wage rates are the notable reasons for high job turnover and social unrest. Poor relationship between workers and supervisors is the main source of conflict. This study finds that there is growing demand for work life balance among the workers of RMG sector. Keywords: Bangladesh, Readymade garment sector, Labour management, Labour dispute, HRM 1.

Some sources suggest that they might overtake the G7 economies by 2027. • According to a paper published in 2005, Mexico and South Korea were the only other countries comparable to the BRICs, but their economies were excluded initially because they were considered already more developed, as they were already members of the OECD.
