MY COILEAGUES AND MYSELF WILL DO OUR BEST TO PROTECT THE INTEREST OF THE TEXTILE MACHINERY INDUSTRY

摘要

The importance of the textile machinery industry which manufactures machines for textile industry need not be emphasised here, because I feel very diffident in the company of such illustrious people who have grown with the textile, who have breathed textile, who have worked for textile, I am an outsider. However, the very fact that we have now made a significant contribution in the exports from this sector is a step which need to be commended and it augurs well for the industry. It is a different thing that our installed capacity is quite large ; our production at present does not commensurate with the installed capacity, however, our exports are about 30% of our total production. If that be so, we have to have a look why we are not using the total installed capacity. They are one to many reasons, you are aware of them, we are aware of them.
