## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (a) to (g) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION  NO.  *241  DUE  FOR  ANSWERED  ON  12.03.2021  RAISED  BY  SHRIMATI SANGEETA KUMARI SINGH DEO  AND  SHRIMATI  SUNITA  DUGGAL  REGARDING TEXTILE PARKS

(a): State  wise  list  of  completed,  ongoing  and  cancelled  park  is  given  in  Annexure.  There  is received a proposal for setting up  M/s Vedhaa Apparel Park at Vedaranyam Taluk, Nagapatttinam, Tamil Nadu under Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP) .

(b) & (c): In the Union Budget 2021-22, it has been announced that a scheme of Mega Investment Textile Park will be launched.   It  will  enable  the  textile  industry  to  become  globally  competitive, attract large investments and boost employment generation. Under the scheme, seven Mega Textile Parks will be set up in the country over 3  years. These mega textile parks will enable creation of global champions in exports. The proposed scheme is awaiting the approval of the Cabinet.

(d): Yes, India faces competition from countries which are enjoying duty free access in the key market such as European Union (EU).

(e)&(f): With  a  view  to  increase  investments,  generating  employment  opportunities  and boosting exports in textile sector, Ministry of Textiles is implementing Scheme for Integrated Textile Park  (SITP)  to  provide  subsidy  for  setting  up  textile  parks  with  world-class,  state-of-the-art infrastructure  in  textile  hubs  across  the  country  for  a  period  of  three  years  i.e.  01.04.2017  to 31.03.2020. The scheme is scaled-up upto 31.03.2021. The primary objective of the Scheme is to provide  financial  assistance  to  a  group  of  entrepreneurs  to  establish  state-of-the-art  infrastructure facilities  in  a  cluster  for  setting  up  their  textile  units,  common  infrastructure,  factory  building, building  for  common  facilities  like  testing  laboratory,  design  centre,  ware-housing  facilities,  raw material  depot,  packaging  unit,  workers'  hostel  and  marketing  support  system(backward/forward linkages) etc. conforming to international environmental and social standards and thereby mobilize private investment in the textile sector and generate fresh employment opportunities.  The Scheme targets industrial clusters and  locations with high growth  potential, which  require  strategic interventions  for  developing  world-class  infrastructure  support.  Further,  in  the  Union  Budget 2021-22, it has been announced that a scheme of Mega Investment Textile Park will be launched. Under the scheme, seven Mega Textile Parks will be set up in the country over 3 years.

The Union Cabinet approved the Scheme for Production and Employment Linked Support for Garmenting Units (SPELSGU) under ATUFS to incentivize production and employment generation in the garmenting sector. The additional incentive of 10% is provided to the garmenting units which would be availing the 15% Capital Investment Subsidy (CIS) under ATUFS for the installation of benchmarked eligible machinery. The cap on capital investment subsidy for the eligible machines in the  garmenting  units  has  therefore  been  enhanced  from  Rs.  30  crore  which  was  the  cap  under ATUFS, to Rs.50 crore.  This  additional  subsidy  of  10%  will  be  on  achievement  of  the  projected production and employment generation, as stated by the unit in the Detailed Project Report (DPR).

To boost exports, Government has announced a scheme namely 'Scheme for Remission of Duties  and  Taxes  on  Exported  Products'  (RoDTEP)  to  all  export  goods,  including  textiles  and garments with effect from 1st January, 2021. Further, in order to boost exports in Man-Made Fibre (MMF) sector,  Government  has  removed  anti-dumping  duty  on  PTA,  a  key  raw  material  for  the manufacture of MMF fibre and yarn. Government has also removed anti-dumping duty on acrylic fibre,  raw  material  for  yarn  and  knitwear  industry.  Assistance  is  also  provided  to  exporters  under Market Access Initiative (MAI) Scheme. Government has enhanced interest equalization rate for pre and post shipment credit for exports done by MSMEs including textiles sector from 3% to 5% w.e.f. 02.11.2018.  Benefits  of  Interest  Equalization  Scheme  have  been  extended  to  merchant  exporters from 02.01.2019 which was earlier limited to only manufacturer exporters.

Union Cabinet has approved Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme in the 10 key sectors for  enhancing  India's  manufacturing  capabilities  and  enhancing  exports-  Atmanirbhar  Bharat. Textiles  products:  MMF  segment  and  technical  textiles  has  been  figured  out  among  the  10  key sectors with approved financial outlay of Rs 10,683 crore over a five year period. Accordingly this Ministry  is  formulating  a  scheme  to  promote  MMF  Apparel  and  Technical  Textile  to  capture substantial share in global trade.

(g): Under SITP,  each  park  should  have  a  minimum  of  25  acres  of  land.  In  the  case  of  North Eastern  and  other  special  category  states,  the  requirement  will  be  10  acres.  However,  under  the proposed Mega Investment Textile Park scheme, the modalities of which are to be decided by the Cabinet while approving the scheme, the land would  be 1000+ acres in size, to achieve economies of scale and size.
