The Indian Autolooms industry is one of the oldest and most significant
industries in the country. It accounts for around 4 per cent of the gross domestic
product (GDP), 14 per cent of industrial production and over 13 per cent of the
country's total export earnings. In fact, it is the largest foreign exchange earning
sector of India. Moreover, it provides employment to over 35 million persons.
The Indian Autolooms industry is in a stronger position now than it was in the
last six decades. The industry which was growing at 3 - 4 percent during the last
six decades has now accelerated to an annual growth rate of 9 - 10 percent.
Considering the domestic availability of cloth, the per capita availability of cloth
is projected at 62.23 sq. meters. by the end of the Eleventh Plan period, as
against 39.17 sq. meters. in 2016-17, registering an annual rate of growth of
9.70 percent per annum. The per capita availability is estimated based on the
projected population and expected export trend.
It present, India ranks First in jute production (at 1,900 million kilograms),
Second in silk production (at 15 million kilograms of raw silk), Second in cotton
exports (at 2,000 million kilograms), Second in cotton production (at 2,700
million kilograms of cotton fibre), Fifth in man-made fibres (at 2,000 million
kilograms) and ranks Eighth in the total production of wool (at 51 million
kilograms) in the world.
The Autolooms Mills are the backbone of Tamil Nadu's industrial development
and are providing massive employment in the State predominantly spinning-
oriented. The State Autolooms industry has a significant presence in the national
economy also. There are 3069 large, medium and small spinning mills in India,
of which, 1889 are located in Tamil Nadu. The spinning mills in the State
comprise 18 Cooperative Spinning Mills (5 functioning), 17 National
Autolooms Corporation Mills (7 functioning) and 1854 Private Mills (including
23 Composite Mills). Those spinning mills provide employment for around 2.40
1
lakh persons. The capacity of the spinning mills in the State is around 18.92
million spindles. The State produces about 1612 million kg. of spun yarn per year
and this is about 40% of the spun yarn produced per year in the entire nation.
The Power Loom Sector in Tamil Nadu
provides employment to around 9.14 lakh
workers. As against 19.03 lakh registered
power looms in India, 3.66 lakh are located in
Tamil Nadu and of that 42,566 are covered
under 164 Power loom Weavers Co-operative
Societies. During the year 2008-09,
these Societies have produced 1487.50 lakh meters of cloth worth around Rs.
246.09 Crores and the turnover was around Rs.253.50 Crores.
The processing sector determines the core product value, product quality and
has tremendous scope for innovations and control over the final output.
Processing is an important value-added segment in the Autolooms Industry.
There are about 10397 Hand Processing Units and 2510 Power Processing Units
in India, out of which 2614 Hand Processing Units and 985 Power Processing
Units are located in Tamil Nadu.
Tamil Nadu has the largest cotton Autolooms industry cluster in India which
contributes to 39 per cent of the total production in the country. The country's
largest Autolooms cluster, Tirupur, is also situated in Tamil Nadu.

CHAPTER II
Majority of the cluster units are of integrated type, where the raw material yarn
is processed in-house to the final product. The energy cost is second to the raw
materials cost. Majority of the units in the cluster are dependent on local/ run of
the mill technologies of low end and with little investment initiatives and
technology up-gradation.

CHAPTER III
3. EXPECTED LEARNING
The main energy forms used in the cluster units are grid electricity, wood, and
small quantity of coal. The electricity is used for power looms, doubling
machines, winding machines, hydro extractors, warping machines and lighting.
Wood is used as fuel for boilers, thermic fluid heaters, and chulhas for hot water
generation. The details of annual energy consumption of a typical unit having a
production capacity of 1, 20,000 kg of final product of the cluster are furnished
in the Table 1.1 below:
Production process
The main operational process for production of towels and bed sheets in cluster
units are:
Doubling
In the Doubling process, thin single yarn is converted to double yarn for
strengthening the yarn by using doubling machine.
Yarn dyeing
Initially, the yarn is soaked in soap water for 24 hours to remove the dirt and
other foreign materials and after soaking, the yarn is taken for bleaching.
Bleaching is carried out by soaking the yarn in tanks mixed with bleaching
agents and after completion of the process; the yarn is washed with normal
water. The hang dyeing machine tanks are filled with required quantity of
normal water and required chemicals and dyeing agents are added.
4
The temperature of the water is raised by oil circulation or direct steam
injection. Fire wood is used as fuel. The required colors are added to the yarn
and the dyeing process takes about 90 to 120 minutes per batch.
After dyeing, the yarn is washed with normal water, and the yarn is taken for
soaping for color fixation in hot water for about 20 minutes in hang dyeing
machines.
The water is drained to the waste drainage lines. The wet yarn is taken to hydro
extractors for removing the water in the yarn and taken for drying in the natural
sunlight.
Winding
The yarn after drying is taken for winding in which the yarn is wounded to
bobbins and cones. The winded yarn is taken for further process.
Warping
Weaving
The beams, which are wound with yarn are taken and placed in power looms
where the designed pattern is already set. In power looms, the yarn is converted
to final product (Towel or bed sheets) by weaving.
The product obtained from weaving is taken for stitching and packing. The
general process flow diagram of a typical unit for production of towels and bed
sheets is furnished in Figure 1.1.

Energy performance in cluster
The wear life of the picker and checking mechanism is also limited due to heavy
shock. Due to the above reasons smooth sequence of weaving is disturbed which
affects the maximum running speed and hence machine production. In multi-
color weft insertion, drop box motion is attached which is also further limits the
speed of the machine.
The small weft package in the shuttle requires frequent replenishments and for
each loom stoppage there is a possibility of one defect. The probability of weft way
fabric defects are high to the tune of 70% in shuttle looms. Even in automatic
shuttle looms there is a chance of transfer failures and weft lashing in defects.
Role in process
The power looms are one of the most important equipment in producing of
cotton terry towels and bed sheets. The power looms are used for weaving the
dyed yarn to towels and bed sheets.
Production cost for various power loom machine of three typical units in the
cluster are separately furnished in Table 1.2 below:
The technology and innovations in SMEs are generally different from that of
large firms. Technology in the SME sector has an increasingly complex or
combinative character, most of the SMEs units in R.P. Autolooms cluster are
labor intensive and utilize local resources. The SME entrepreneurs are generally
not willing to invest in state-or-art technology. Major barriers in the up-
gradation of technology in the cluster are non-availability of technology;
distrust on technology supplier, lack of awareness about energy efficiency
among small and medium enterprises, prevents them from adoption of energy
efficient technologies.
Technological Barriers
The major technical barriers that prevented the implementation of Rapier loom
are
• Lack of awareness and information about the rapier loom and its benefit
• Absence of local Rapier loom supplier
• Dependence on local equipment suppliers, whom doesn’t have technical
knowledge about rapier loom and its proper installation
9
Financial Barrier
Implementation of the proposed project activity requires investment of 49.81
lakh per unit. Such investment is not commonly seen in the cluster units for
energy efficiency improvement. Further, from the business perspective of SMEs,
it is more viable, assured, and convenient to invest on project expansion for
improving the production capacity or quality, rather than make piecemeal
investment in retrofit and replace options for energy savings.
In view of this and given the limited financial strength of the autoloom mills, it
is evident that the owners would not like to take the risk and invest in energy
efficiency measures. However, the financial attractiveness of the project activity
may motivate the owners to move forward in taking up initiatives in energy
conservation and efficiency.
Skilled manpower
The recent recession in European and other Asian countries and reduction in
market trend for the products in national and international markets was also one
of the major barriers for the proposed technology

CHAPTER IV
SERVICE EQUIPMENT
The rapier looms offer unparalleled versatility when it comes to yarns. From the
finest counts of cotton to the thickest Industrial yarns and can handle anything
thrown at its negative rapier head. The soft-pick gear system enables smooth
transition of even highly fancy yarns like embroidery and slub. The rapier loom
is upgrade from shuttle-looms to the world of modern weaving system and
shutte-less weaving. Rapier looms has been designed to replace the old shuttle
looms without any major changes to the existing infrastructure. The Immediate
benefits of selecting rapier looms are
11
• 20% subsidy under TUFS on our certified looms in addition to State
Government Incentives.
• Step-by-Step consultancy by our engineers to help you upgrade, install &
adapt to new machines.
Speed
The normal speed of the conventional power looms is around 120 RPM, where
as in rapier looms, the speeds up to 220 RPM (actual) can be attained and
coupled with high efficiencies of up to 95%, this machine gives up to 3 times
more productivity than the conventional power looms.
Rapier looms offers up to 8 Color Pick-at-Will weft insertions, so that weave the
fanciest of fabrics can be attained. The pick-at-will system is computerized, and
microprocessor controlled, hence letting the programmed sequences of more
than 1, 00,000 picks. Such technological edge will definitely give you an edge
in the market.
Rapier looms realizes the most delicate need of rapier users to prevent start-marks
in weaving. The custom designed ‘HT-Drive’ motor of the machine supplies more
than 150% torque for the first-pick to successfully prevent the start marks.
Considering 3 times more productivity with same space and even lesser amount
of man power along with lower power consumption, it is quite obvious that
rapier looms can offer lower production costs compared to conventional power-
looms or even rapier-shuttle change machines. Moreover, continuous weft-
insertion eliminates the need for investing in pirn- winding machines or even
extra operators.
12
Lower Maintenance
Due to lower vibrations, there’s less wear-n-tear of rotating components and
bearings resulting in lower maintenance costs.
Shedding
The rapier loom has the flexibility and can easily add and attach any of the
shedding motions available in the market including:
• Dobby
• Jacquard
• Cam Shedding
• Positive Cam: for Heavy plain fabrics (bolting cloth, tire cord cloth etc.)
• Negative Cam: for light sensitive fabrics
Take-Up
Let-Off
The capability of rapier looms to weave any and all kinds of fabrics has been
created due to 3 different let-off options available with the machine depending
on your fabric.
Ruti-Type
For weavers of regular cotton-fabrics who’ve been used to highly versatile Ruti-
Type let-off.
13
Microprocessor Controller
The heart of the complete control system, this microprocessor is one of the most
powerful control systems offered today for crank-type rapier looms. The system
can be programmed to output any kinds of pick programs. The standard
functions include:
• Constant monitoring of weft and warp yarn for breakages Cloth Length
Counter
• Pick-programming
• Weft-Controller
Exclusive Feature
For all power loom users, investing in Rapier looms normally require them to
erect a completely new building infrastructure. But, with AWT-250EX, we’re
proud to say that we are the only rapier-loom manufacturer in the world whose
machines can fit in the regular ’16-feet sheds’, thus eliminating the need for any
additional investment and hence brings down the up-gradation costs
considerably. In R.P. Autolooms Cluster units, majority of the units has power
looms, Considering the above facts and benefits of the rapier loom and for
reducing the overall production cost, it is suggested to replace power looms with
rapier looms. The details of production cost per kg in power looms is provided
in Annexure 1

Fabrics are required for domestic market and for exports. Fabrics are made with
conventional power-looms. There are several disadvantages in these type of
weaving and fabrics made with automatic looms have improved quality, good
patterns, higher productivity which are required both by domestic users and
overseas buyers. There is a good potential for making the fabric with autolooms.
The decentralized power loom sector plays a pivotal role in meeting the clothing
needs of the country. The power-loom industry produces a wide variety of cloth,
both grey as well as processed. Production of cloth as well as generation of
employment has been rapidly increasing in the power-loom sector.
20
CHAPTER VI
The grey yarn and dyed yarn of required count number is first converted into a
warp which will be used as longitudinal threads in weaving. For this, the yarn
which is in cone form will be orderly arranged in a creel numbering 500 to 1000
meters. If the yarn is in hank form, the hand to cone winding machine is used to
wind yarn on cones. The threads from the creel are taken through suitable guides
and tensioners and through condensing reed to a warp beam. Then, in a warping
machine, yarns are arranged in a mat form for facilitating the weaving process.
Weft Preparation
Process Weaving
The weaving process in the loom shed effects interlocking of two sets of
threads, one longitudinal termed as warp and other transverse, called as weft, to
manufacture a fabric on the looms. The weaving process is accomplished by the
operations of three primary loom motions, namely shedding, pricking and
beating up. In order to produce figured patterns of fabrics shedding devices like
dobbins and jacquards are attached to a loom.
Environment
Electricity: For operating the machinery the power load required is about 67 HP.
Water: Water is not required for process and required only for human
consumption.
21
Improvement in working environment

The technology implemented will create awareness among the workforce
about energy saving.
Impact on wages/emoluments
No impact on wages or emolument of workers.
Reduction in effluent generation
The effluent generation due to implementation of the project activity is insignificant.
Reduction in GHG emission such as CO2, NOx, etc.
The major GHG emission reduction source is CO 2 and this equipment will
reduce electricity consumption. The total emission reductions are estimated as
32 ton of CO2 per annum due to implementation of the project activity.
Material Department
The raw material for weaving fabric is Cotton yarn. The yarn can be procured
from autoloom spinning mills or from yarn dealers located in Salem, Erode,
Tirupur Coimbatore. The yarn will be single or double. The regular counts used
in weaving are 17s, 20s, 40s, 60s and 80s. The yarn will be dyed according to
requirements.

CHAPTER VII
7. SWOT ANALYSIS
Strength
Weakness
Fake websites: Lot of fake websites can be found on internet related to textile E-
business. These sites assures service guarantee for delivering a product. These
websites are the reasons to bring bad name for textile E commerce. Due to
which customers are losing faith on electronic transactions.
33
Long delivery timing: Autolooms companies generally prefer the third parties to
deliver an ordered product. They outsource such type of service providers. If
service provider is casual in nature, then there is a possibility of delaying a
product by few days. If customers address is wrong or at remote location, in
such cases the product are sent back to the seller and whole process of delivery
need to be repeated again. Limited sources for Advertising: Any business
requires the advertisement to grow. Whereas in e-commerce mass advertisement
is not possible. Majority of advertisement can be done through internet and for
the internet users only. Out of which very few are interested in paying full
attention for complete advertisement.

CHAPTER VIII
To achieve the target by 2010 the machinery required include Ring Spindles:31
million: shuttle less looms:100000: Knitting machines 10250 Woven cloth
processing 65 million sq. meters per day; knit processing 2 million kgs. per day
and sewing machines 2.3 million. To meet this the investments projected under
various sectors are shown below.
Projected investments under various sectors
Sector Investments
Spinning 37000
Weaving 25000
Knitting 3000
Processing 50000
Garmenting 25000
Total 140000
Weaving requires additional investment and more and more auto looms have
to be installed

Cost of equipment implementation
Cost of equipment
The total cost for installation of 8 nos Rapier loom is estimated at ` 50.99 lakh,
which includes, Panel, switches, cabling etc.
Other costs
Arrangement of funds
Entrepreneur’s contribution
The total cost of the proposed technology is estimated at 52.49 lakh. The
entrepreneur’s contribution is 25% of total project cost, which is 13.12 lakh.
Loan amount
The term loan is 75% of the total project, which is 39.37 lakh. As the overall
energy efficiency in the project is more than 15% it qualifies for subsidy of 25%
of the project cost as per the NMCP scheme of Ministry of MSME, GoI. 25 %
of the project cost in this case works out to 12.15 lakh. As the subsidy is
normally available after implementation of the project the same has not been
taken in the project cost and means of finance. On receipt of subsidy from
Ministry of MSME, GoI through the nodal agency the amount of subsidy is
generally set off from the loan outstanding by the lending bank. Availability of
this subsidy will make the project economically more attractive
37
Terms & conditions of loan
The interest rate is considered at 10.00% which is SIDBI'S Lending rate for
energy efficiency projects. The loan tenure is assumed 5 years and the
moratorium period is 6 months.
Installed Capacity
The installed capacity is 2285 meters per day for 16 machines, on 3 shift basis.
This works out to 800000 meters of fabric per annum for 350 working days.The
capacity has been worked out based on a standard configuration of typical fabrics
Conclusion
E commerce has made its special identity in textile industry. Now a day it has
become an essential part of Autolooms industry. With the help of Information &
Communication Technology (ICT), peoples are able to communicate rapidly
with each other. More knowledge about EDI will support for the quick
exchange of products. Establishing & maintaining brand name is a biggest
challenge for all the Electronic based Autoloom industries. E commerce is the
easiest way to enter in to the global market. But there is still lot of work need to
be done in security to overcome the problem of web spoofing.
