## ANSWER वस्त्र मंरी ( श्री अज )

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR TEXTILES (SHRI AJAY TAMTA)

(a): As on 31.12.2016 there were 3539 mills in the country.  The state-wise details are at Annexure-I.

The total number of textile mills closed in the country, state-wise are at Annexure-II.

In  so  far  as  National  Textile  Corporation  Limited (NTC) is concerned, it has 23 operational mills as in Annexure-III.

The details of 78 NTC mills closed under Industrial Dispute Act as per Board for Industrial and Financial  Reconstruction  which  were  unviable;  where  the  workers  had  taken  Modified Voluntary  Retirement  Scheme  enmass,  and  also  on  account  of  relocation  of  mills  are  at Annexure-IV.

(b): In  case  of  78  unviable  closed  mills  of  National  Textile  Corporation  Limited,  46363 employees have availed the benefit of Modified Voluntary Retirement Scheme.

(c) & (d): The  Government  has  no  scheme/programme  to  revive  these  mills  at  present. However,  the  Government  is  implementing  several  schemes  to  support  the  Textile  Industry which  include  the  Amended  Technology  Upgradation  Fund  Scheme  (ATUFS);  Scheme  for Integrated  Textile  Parks  (SITP);  Integrated  Skill  Development  Scheme  (ISDS);  Technology Mission on Technical Textiles (TMTT), etc.  The Industry could avail benefits under the above schemes for upgrading/reviving textile units.

As far as NTC is concerned, in the BIFR approved revival scheme MS-08, there is no mandate to restart the closed mills.  The workers of NTC closed mills had taken Modified Voluntary Retirement Scheme enmass.
