Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Cotton textile industry has three sub sectors i.e. handloom, powerloom and mill sectors. Handloom sector is labour intensive and provides employment to semi skilled workers. It requires small capital investment. This sector involves spinning, weaving and finishing of the fabrics. The powerloom sector introduces machines and becomes less labour intensive and the volume of production increases. Cotton textile mill sector is highly capital intensive and produces fine clothes in bulk.
