Government is also implementing the In situ Upgradation of Plain Powerloom Scheme for upgrading the obsolete Powerlooms  to semi-automatic and automatic Looms.  These schemes are aimed at promotion/upgradation of textile industries/units all over the country including Haryana.

Further,  the  Government  has  approved  special  package  for  textile  sector  with  an outlay  of  Rs.  6000  crore  to  boost  employment  generation  and  exports  particularly  in Garmenting and Made-ups. The move is expected to generate about 1 crore and 11 lakh jobs over the next three years.
