As per the Annual Survey of Industries (ASI), Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MOSPI), State/UT-wise data on the total number of spinning mills, mills in operation and other units under the category “Preparation and Spinning textile fibres (1311)” has been recorded. The Ministry clarified that specific information on the closure of spinning mills is not available.
The Government has undertaken multiple measures to support spinning mills, covering technology upgradation, raw material supply, financial incentives and infrastructure development.
Technology Up-gradation and Modernization
Under the Amended Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (ATUFS), credit-linked Capital Investment Subsidies (CIS) are provided to textile units for procurement of benchmarked machinery. The scheme aims to assist mills in modernization and environmental improvements.
State-specific modernization initiatives, including schemes in Tamil Nadu, provide interest subsidies for replacement of machinery older than five years.
Mini Textile Park Schemes offer subsidies for infrastructure, buildings and machinery support for smaller textile units.
Raw Material Supply and Price Stabilization
The Government directs the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) to sell cotton stocks procured under the Minimum Support Price (MSP) directly to MSME-category spinning mills to ensure availability.
CCI provides special sales and discounts, such as Rs. 300/- per candy, to MSME mills, cooperative sector mills and Khadi industries.
The Yarn Supply Scheme (YSS) ensures availability of raw materials at “mill gate prices” to handloom weavers, indirectly maintaining demand for yarn.
The Kasturi Cotton Initiative focuses on branding, traceability and certification to promote Indian cotton quality across the supply chain.
Financial Assistance and Incentives
The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme promotes the production of high-value Man-Made Fiber (MMF) fabrics and technical textiles.
The Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) provides tax rebates on exported garments and made-ups.
Interest Equalization Schemes provide enhanced rates for pre- and post-shipment credit to support MSME exporters.
The Special Package for Textiles (2016) included additional production subsidies under ATUFS, EPF contribution support and tax concessions.
Infrastructure and Skill Development
Seven PM-MITRA Parks are being established as Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel Parks with plug-and-play infrastructure.
The Integrated Processing Development Scheme (IPDS) supports new and upgraded Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs).
The SAMARTH Scheme (Scheme for Capacity Building in Textile Sector) provides demand-driven and placement-oriented training to build a skilled workforce.
These initiatives address technology upgradation, workforce development, raw material access and supply chain integration.
