## उत्तर

## ANSWER वस्त्र राज्य मंरी (श्री अजय टम्टा)

MINISTER OF STATE FOR TEXTILES (SHRI AJAY TAMTA)

(a) & (b); Yes, Madam. The National Textile Corporation (NTC) has presently 28  working  NTC  mills  (including  5  under  Joint  Venture)  and  78  closed unviable mills under Industrial Dispute (ID) Act. Out of 78 closed mills, land and other assets of 29 mills have been sold to implement the revival scheme sanctioned  by  Board  for  Industrial  and  Financial  Reconstruction  (BIFR). While these mills were incurring losses, even prior to closure, the mill wise loss incurred during the last three years is given at Annexure-I.

- (c)  to  (e); After  closure  of  mills,  to  minimize  the  loss,  following  steps  have been taken:-
- i.
- continue MVRS benefit to employees of closed mills.
- ii. reduce the power expenses by surrendering extra [power load to concerned State Electricity Boards.
- iii. work has been outsourced after superannuation of regular employees.

Due to the above measures, the loss of these closed mills has reduced from Rs. 22.13 crores in 2012-13 to Rs. 19.21 crores in 2015-16, Rs. 10.41 crores in 2016-17 and Rs. 8.87 crores in 2017-18.The deployment in these 49 mills has reduced from 507 in 2012-13 to 189 in 2017-18.
