Even after the removal ofrestrictions in the Textile Policy of 1985,weaving capacity has been consistentlydeclining. This is attributable to thestructural transformation in the industry,leading to the de-linking of weaving fromspinning and the emergence of thedecentralized powerloom sector. In theorganized sector the loom age capacityhas declined from 1.23 lakh in March,2000 to 0.86 lakh in March, 2005, and to0.56 lakh in March 2008 and the samemarginally increased to 0.57 lakh in 2009and there is no change in 2010.Over the years, production of cloth in themill sector is showing a steady growthsince 2003-04 onwards and was 1961million sq. meter in 2009-10.
