Introduction to Woollen Textile industry in India

The woollen textile industry in India is small in size and scattered. 40% of the woollen units are located in Punjab 27% in Haryana, 10% in Rajasthan, the rest of the states amount for 23% of the units. A few larger units re located in Maharashtra, Punjab UP, Gujarat and West Bengal. The production of indigenous wool in the country during 3 years: YEAR 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 Quantity ( in million kg) 76.21 82.34 86.12

The woollen industry in India broadly falls under 2 sectors: 1) Organized Sector: a. Composite Mills b. Combing Mills c. Worsted & non-worsted spinning units d. Machine made carpet-manufacturing units 2) Decentralized Sector: a. Hosiery & Knitting b. Power loom c. Hand knotted carpets, Druggets and Namdhas. d. Independent dyeing processing houses. Since, indigenous production of fine quality wool required by the organized mill & decentralized hosiery sector is very limited, India depends largely on imports, Australia being the largest supplier. New Zealand wool is rich in lustre is imported mainly for carpet sector for blending it with indigenous wool.
