Mills wise details is given at Annexure-I. NTC revived above 16 mills in two Phases. Under Phase-I, NTC revived 5 Mills through Joint Venture route since November, 2007. Under Phase - II, 11 mills  for  which  the  Memorandums  of  Undertaking  (MoUs)  signed  with  the  Joint Venture partners were terminated on 14th September, 2010 as the Joint Venture partners  failed  to  enter  into  definitive  agreements  with  NTC  within  the  specified time. The matter is under arbitration.

(c): Yes, Madam.

(d): Chalisgaon  Textile  Mills,  district  Jalgaon  (Maharashtra)  was  proposed  to  be revived through JV route, out of the 11 mills for which MOU was signed but for which there were no definitive agreements with NTC within the specified time and hence were cancelled.

(e)to(h): The matter is sub-judice and further measures can only be taken after the decision of the Court/ Arbitration.
