## ANSWER

## ( )

## MINISTER OF TEXTILES (SMT. SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a): 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 year 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.

(b) & (c): The Government has no scheme/programme to revive these mills at present. However, the Board for Industrial & Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) was set up under Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, with a view to arranging the timely detection of sick and potentially sick companies (including textile mills) and for the speedy determination of preventive, ameliorative and remedial measures which need to be taken in respect of such companies including closed mills.  The status of the cases registered with BIFR is decided by BIFR on the basis of its findings   and the relief / concession etc. are given to units / companies based on approved revival packages.
