siliconindia | | OCTOBER 20186Clothing has evolved from the very purpose from just being the basic human need to more of a fashion, comfort and brand statements. From handloom to machine-looms, the methodology too has evolved over the period of centuries. With the advent of technical literacy among the textile manufacturers, textile machine manufacturers are constantly working on improving the performance of the machines to yield better and higher production. Not just the developed countries, but the developing ones too ensure that the textile sector uses the latest technology to manufacture quality clothing. The Indian textile industry was almost dry of any innovation and growth for long. But recently, in a significant boost to the dwindling textile sector, the Union Ministry of Textiles has introduced Amended Technology Upgradation Funds Scheme (ATUFS) for wider financial and operational benefits for players in the entire value chain. Having introduced in 1999 to replace the age-old technology with brand new ones for improving operational efficiency of textile units, the amendment is indeed a positive step taken by the Ministry of Textile. However, it is paramount that the latest technologies developed for the industry are energy efficient, reduce pollution, use renewable sources and are economically sustainable. On the other hand, textile waste recycling machines are also catching-up, as the need of the hour is to go beyond high-volume business to high-value business. Featuring some of such companies who manufacture/supply world-class textile machineries to boost the Indian textile sector, we bring to you `10 Most Promising Textile Machinery Manufacturers - 2018'. The featured companies are taking the lead in changing the paradigm of the industry in India and put it on the global map as not just the leading textile manufacturing nation, but a nation with an eco-friendly and cutting-edge technologies.
