## उत्तर ANSWER

MINISTER OF TEXTILES (SMT. SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a) & (b): The details of State wise cotton/man-made fibre textile mills (Non-SSI) closed during last three years and current year are at Annexure-I.  No textile mill of National Textile Corporation has been closed during the last three years and during the current year. The main reasons for closure of textile mills include inadequate working capital, insufficient cash flow, increase in cost of production, squeezed profit margin, stressed assets, etc.

(c) & (d): The Government has no scheme/programme to revive these mills at present. However, the Government implements a large number of schemes such as the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme, Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks, Integrated Skill Development  Scheme,  North  East  Textile  Promotion  Scheme  and  Handloom,  Handicraft, Powerloom sector schemes to provide a conducive environment for revival of textile units in the private sector.
