Action 1: Encourage FDI for capacity expansion and technology upgradation
Investment incentive
Today
Proposed


So far, no local textile machinery enjoys a
preferential tariff even for a certain period until
their production is stabilized

India offers generous tariff protection to pioneer
industries such as the automotive industry

Even China has been gradually raising tariff on hitech items of textile machinery (e.g.,automatic
winders) as local capacity increases
In order to attract foreign investment to close the
gap in the Indian textile machinery value chain for
the state of the art manufacture of:

Rotor spinning machines

Automatic winders

Shuttleless looms

A preferential tariff, closer to the highest import
duty rate of 10% should be considered during at
least for first 5 years of production to potential
foreign investors, since the market for the above
machines is relatively small.

The producers of above machines should also
enjoy 0% tariff on accessories, parts and
components used as inputs
Working group TEI
Page 18
2.3
Strategy
Action 2: Address fiscal policy constraints and anomalies
Fiscal policy issues
Today

Proposed
Imbalance in customs duty between complete
machines at 7.5% (5% on 178 specified items of
machinery) and 7.5% for accessories, parts and
components (tariff 8448)

Harmonise customs duty on all types of textile
machinery including parts, components and
accessories at a uniform rate of 7.5%

Shuttleless looms are imported under a
concessional customs duty of 5%. There is an
infant industry producing shuttleless looms,
compact ring spinning frames and automatic cone
winding machines for which dedicated components
not made in India are imported with a duty of 5%

Reduce customs duty from 5% to nil on 15
imported dedicated parts, components and
accessories needed for the production of
shuttleless looms, compact ring spinning machines
and cone winding machines, this would help to
make the local industry more competitive

Excise duty ranges between 10% (General items)
and 5% (Specific list items)

Reduce excise duty from 10% to 8% to improve
the competitiveness of local industry

Local suppliers of textile machineries under EPCG
scheme face cumbersome procedure for refund of
terminal excise duty unlike in EOU scheme
enjoying duty exemption

Supply of local textile machinery under EPCG and
EOU status to be treated at par

200% weighted deduction on R & D expenditure
incurred by all companies and partnership /
proprietary units

200% weighted deduction on R & D expenditure is
allowed only to companies
Working group TEI

Strategy
Action 3: Discourage import of second hand textile machinery
Second hand machinery
Today
Proposed

Large scale imports of 2nd hand machinery stood at Rs 700
crores in 2009 / 2010

The focus of imports has been the weaving sector





Second hand looms are eligible for benefit under TUFS.
Advocates of the scheme justify this measure to replace
obsolete powerlooms by highly competitively priced second
hand shuttleless looms with proven technology
The import of second hand machines
should be prohibited or restricted by
stipulating a specified minimum residual
life of 10 years and further, subject to the
condition that the second hand machinery
should not be older than 5 years

The textile machinery industry regards this as a retrograde
step which perpetuates the technological obsolescence of
the weaving sector in India
Threshold criteria relating to technical
parameters, such as a minimum machine
speed may also be imposed

As per TUFS policy import of second hand looms should
satisfy an age criteria whereby the looms should be of
maximum 10 years’ vintage. A significant number of second
hand imported looms are with old, low speed technology
having a weft insertion rate below 750 meters per minutes.
This should be certified by a designated
authority based in India

In any case no incentives, such as TUFS
should be applicable to second hand
machinery

Channelize imports via 2 designated ports
It should be noted that China does not allow the import of
second hand machines

Impose “actual user” condition on
importers
Working group TEI
Page 20
2.3
Strategy
Action 4: Establish Technology Upgradation Fund
Second hand machinery
Today
Proposed

There is no special fund for the textile machinery industry
per se. However, the industry only indirectly benefits from
the TUFS available to the textile industry.
It’s recommended to launch a TUF dedicated
to the Indian textile machinery industry. The
fund should have an interest reimbursement
outlay of Rs 250 crores for XIIth Plan and
based on similar principles as TUFS and
cover the following major areas:

TUFS encourages new investment in the textile industry by
providing 5% interest reimbursement and a 20% capital
subsidy (credit linked capital subsidy – CLCS)

An outlay of Rs. 11,315 crores was earmarked for the
TUFS under the 11th Five Year Plan

A provision for a Plan outlay of Rs. 750 was made for TEI
under the 11th Five Year Plan however no details of
utilization were available
Working group TEI

Expansion and modernization of existing textile
machinery manufacturing companies

Acquisition of technical knowhow from overseas

Industry segments regarded as weak or non
existing (rotors spinning, automatic winding,
weaving, processing, knitting and industrial
sewing equipment) should be eligible for 10%
capital subsidy in addition to interest
reimbursement
Page 21

Strategy
Action 5: Strengthen TEI infrastructure through cluster development and SEZ
Cluster development
Today

Proposed
•
Strengthen existing TEI clusters in five
important cities by establishment of five
Common Facility Centers (CFC)
•
CFC shall be set up on PPP mode and
provide the following services
There are five important clusters where textile engineering
units are located – Ahmedabad, Coimbatore, Kolkata,
Panipat & Surat
•
R&D
•
Product development

80% of the TEI units are MSMEs
•
Design facilities

There is little institutional support and capacity building is
largely at the firm level through private initiative
•
Testing facilities
•
Skill development
•
Enterprise management
development
•
Working group TEI
Encourage establishment of new TEI units
under SEZ especially for FDI promotion
Page 22
2.3
Strategy
Action 6: R& D – Institutional capacity building and private sector incentives
R & D promotion
Today
Proposed
Following measures are proposed to foster
R & D culture through specific initiatives

There is low level of R & D in the industry particularly in
non spinning areas

Limited proprietary technology

Resource constraints as 80% of TEI units are MSMEs

As majority of TEI caters to the decentralised sector such
as weaving and processing with low end applications there
is little incentive for R & D
Working group TEI
•
Focus of R & D shall be at institutional
and private firm level, selected textile
engineering institutes (IITs and NITs)
•
An apex R & D promotion cell should be
set up at TMMA and comprise key stake
holders from institutions, private and
public sector
•
Capital subsidy up to 50% for viable R &
D projects
•
Incentive for innovative design and
product development
•
Institutional collaboration between Indian
and foreign institutes
•
Inter disciplinary collaboration between
TEI and other institutions such as DRDO
and automotive industry
Page 23
2.3
Strategy
Action 7: HRD through vocational training institutes
HRD & skill development
Today
Proposed
Undertake capacity building programmes at
textile engineering institutes and vocational
institutes

TMMA collaborated with IIT Bombay for setting up an R&D
center for the Indian textile machinery. Spinning and other
equipment was provided by TMMA initially. However the
initiative has not been effective due to fund constraints and
lukewarm government support

There is lack of skill development specially in MSMEs

Inability of the sector to attract and retain talent
Working group TEI
•
Training the trainer
•
Scholarships for students from rural areas
and small towns
•
Review of existing curriculum for
certificate, diploma and graduate courses
•
Exchange programmes with foreign textile
technology institutes such as Aachen
University Germany
•
Explore partnership with Swiss Indian
chamber of commerce under Swiss
government vocational training
programme already initiated in other
sectors
•
Encourage regular interaction between
the industry and academia
Page 24
2.3
Strategy
Action 8: Export promotion
Export promotion for Indian TEI
Today
Proposed

Exports represent about 10% of the total TEI production at
Rs 650 crores
•
Encourage project exports through EXIM
bank facilities particularly to Africa

Main products – Spinning, weaving preparations,
processing & accessories
•

Main markets – Bangladesh, Malaysia, Far East, Middle
East, Africa & Latin America
Undertake market visits and buyer seller
meets in less developed textile countries
to promote export of textile machinery and
spares

TEI exports enjoy following incentives under generic export
promotion scheme
•
Easy availability of MDA through EEPC
•
Creation of a new EPC for textile
machinery exports to be set up by TMMA
through Ministry of Commerce
•
Special assistance for participation in
international textile machinery exhibitions

o
o
Two years of 100 % income tax holiday
and 50% income tax reduction for
subsequent three years for productionoriented FIE’s from the first year of
making a profit
Refund of 40% of income tax paid on
reinvestment for the purpose of increasing
the registered capital of the existing
enterprise or establishment of a new
enterprise
Full refund of income tax paid on
reinvestment in China for organization and
expansion of an EOU or advancedtechnology enterprise
Income tax on the royalty received for the
supply of technical know-how in scientific
research, and the development of
important technologies may be levied at
the reduced rate of ten per cent
India
Today
There is no policy for differential treatment for
FDI enterprises in India however following
are the key schemes under which fiscal
incentives such as tax exemptions are
offered :
Special Economic Zones Act 2005 provides
following incentives for attracting investments
into the SEZs-both local and FDI.
• Duty free import/domestic procurement of
goods for development and maintenance
of SEZ
• 100% exemption on export income for
SEZ for first 5 years;50% for next 5 years
and thereafter 50% of the ploughed back
profits for next 5 years (total 15 years)
• Exemption from minimum alternate tax
• External commercial borrowings by SEZ
units up to $ 500 million in a year
• Exemption from CST
Proposed
 Textile machinery
manufactured by an SEZ unit
and supplied to a unit in DTA
or an EOU or an EPCG
license holder should be
exempt from customs and
excise duty
 This special provision should
be available for a period of 5
years
 The proposed benefit should
be given to identified hi-tech
machines (such as rotor
spinning machines,
automatic winders and
shuttle-less weaving
machines)
• Exemption from Service Tax
• Exemption from State Sales Tax and other
levies

Preferential tax treatment for FIE EOU’s
o
o

After the expiration of the normal tax holiday,
the FIE’s may pay only 50% tax provided
they export 70% of the output
However, EOU’s located in an SEZ and
economic or technological development
zone may pay 10% income tax only
India
Today
Export Oriented Units (EOU)
• 100% Income tax exemption-10 years
• 100% FDI permitted through direct
route without any special approval
A reduced income tax of 15% is applicable to
FIE’s which are engaged in manufacture of
products listed under “ Catalogue of High
and New Technology Products of China” and
provided that at least 15% of the company’s
sales come from such products . Notably this
catalogue includes over 700 such products
No further intervention required
Consider following incentives
for local and foreign investment
in areas of identified hitechnology for manufacture of
textile machinery:
Preferential tax treatment for FIE’s which
are technology intensive and knowledge
intensive
o
Proposed
Special provisions apply only to export
oriented Electronics Hardware Technology
Parks
a) 10 years of tax holiday
along the lines of SEZ Policy
b) Exemption from excise and
customs duty on capital
goods supplied from a textile
m/c manufacturer located in

Today
No special provisions exist
For such companies the applicable benefit is
complete tax holiday for first two years of

o
Income tax on enterprises, domestic and
foreign-invested, established in the western
regions which are engaged in industries
encouraged by the State shall be levied at
the reduced rate of fifteen per cent from the
year 2001 to 2010,provided that at least 70%
of their sales turnover comes from eligible
products
India has a policy for industrially backward
states which allow tax holidays and other
benefits to encourage set up of new
industries. These include:
The domestic and the foreign-invested
enterprises established in the western
regions and engaged in the encouraged
industries are exempt from the tariff and
import VAT for the imported equipments for
self uses within the total amount of the
capital invested
 CST at concessional rate of 1%
 Exemption from general sales tax(GST)
for 8 years
No further intervention required
 Electricity duty exemption
 Facilitation in land allotment

150% of the actual expenditure on R&D may
be deducted from taxable income subject to
an annual increase in 10% in such
expenditure incurred on development of new
products, technologies and crafts
Proposed
200% weighted deduction on R&D
expenditure allowed to companies
however partnership firm are excluded
200 % weighted average
deduction on R&D expenditure
by textile engineering
companies should be increased
allowed to all firms
No special provision
No intervention recommended
Duty exemption applicable under EPCG
and EOU Scheme. However in case of
EPCG supplies, buyers have to apply for a
refund of duty or treat under MODVAT
scheme which adds to transaction cost
Supply of textile m/c from local
industry to EPCG and EOU’s
should be treated at par as both
are ‘deemed exports’
India has a policy for Duty Entitlement
Passbook (DEPB) scheme which is
however likely to expire during 2011-12
due non-compliance with WTO Agreement
on Subsidies & Countervailing Measures

Comparative analysis of India Vs China : Grants and interest subsidy
China

India
Today
Funds for supporting technological
innovation by SME’s
o
o
Science and technology oriented SME’s are
eligible for financial appropriation or loan
interest discount. In the projects of financial
appropriations, the SMEs of science and
technology nature receive firstly seventy per
cent of the total assisting amount approved
to be granted to the enterprises. In the
projects of interest discount, the SMEs of
science and technology nature receive firstly
eighty per cent of the assisting fund for
interest discount in accordance with the
interest settlement document provided by the
enterprises. The rest of the grant or
assisting fund for interest discount shall be
paid after the projects being completed as
well as checked and accepted. Each project
shall receive no more than RMB 1 million
and in particular cases no more than RMB 2
million
 There is no special fund for the textile
machinery industry per se. However,the
industry only indirectly benefits from the
TUFS available to the textile industry.
 TUFS encourages new investment in the
textile industry by providing 5% interest
reimbursement and a 20% capital
subsidy (credit linked capital subsidy –
CLCS)
 An outlay of Rs. 11,315 crores was
earmarked for the TUFS under the 11th
Five Year Plan
 A provision for a Plan outlay of Rs. 750
was made for TEI under the 11th Five
Year Plan however no details of
utilization were available
For such projects, the government makes an
annual budgetary allocation
Proposed
It’s recommended to launch a
Technology Upgradation Fund
dedicated to the Indian textile
machinery industry. The fund
should be based on similar
principles as TUFS and cover
the following major areas:
• Expansion and modernization
of existing textile machinery
manufacturing companies
• Acquisition of technical
knowhow from overseas
• Industry segments regarded
as weak or non existing (rotors
spinning, automatic winding,
weaving, processing, knitting
and industrial sewing
equipment) should be eligible
for 10% capital subsidy in
addition to interest
reimbursement

Comparative analysis of India Vs China : Other support measures
China

India
Today
Brand building – Several state and local governments
started a scheme called “Famous Export Brand”,
”China’s Renowned Label” and “China World Top
Brand” which were given to promote indigenous brands
and were given in the form of grants, preferential
funding for R&D projects contingent upon export
performance. However China was compelled to
withdraw such type of incentive when challenged by the
US at WTO

Interest rate subvention- This incentive is typically
offered by the state and local governments to subsidize
loan interest for upgrading technologies and equipment
across industries. A project could receive subsidy equal
to about one-third of the interest amount in a year

Besides above a number of local levies such as land
lease fees, VAT and administrative charges may be
negotiated with the local industrial park administration

As per China Textile Machinery Association(CTMA),the
state governments launch and fund special projects for
up-gradation of technological standards in the selected
textile machinery enterprises in their region. Cross
functional projects teams are set up and consist of
experts from textile engineering institutes and machine
manufacturers and user. They alluded to a project
adopted by Zhejiang State government aimed at
“increasing the life span of rings by reduction of friction
during spinning”
TMMA collaborated with IIT Bombay for
setting up an R&D center for the Indian
textile machinery. Spinning and other
equipment was provided by TMMA initially.
However the initiative has not been
effective due to fund constraints and
lukewarm government support
Proposed
To review the policy on import
of second hand machinery and
withdraw incentive support such
as TUFS to send right signals to
the industry and prospective
investors
TMMA has suggested a Plan
Outlay for Rs.1800 crores
towards various capital budget,
cluster development and
capacity building programs for
the TEI to be undertaken during
the 12th Plan period :
