(a) to (c): In the past, National Textile Corporation (NTC) did implement Board for Industrial and Financial  Reconstruction  (BIFR)  approved  Modified  Revival  Scheme  (MS-08)  which  envisaged different  levels  of  modernization.  However,  despite  huge  investment  on  modernization,  NTC  mills continue to remain unviable.  State-wise details of National Textile Corporation (NTC) mills including 7 mills in the State of Tamil Nadu is at Annexure-I.

Due to Covid-19 pandemic and nationwide lockdown imposed by the various State Governments, production activities in all NTC Mills were suspended from March, 2020.  From January, 2021 onwards, normal operations were resumed in some of the NTC mills but could not be continue due to unavailability of working capital and other financial constraints. Due to the financial constraints and poor viability of NTC mills, Ministry of Textiles is preparing an action plan for way forward in this matter  in  consultation  with  NITI  Aayog  and  Department  of  Public  Enterprises  under  Ministry  of Finance.
