Write a short note on the cotton textile industry of India.

Accepted Answer

The cotton textile industry plays a vital role in India’s economy. Among all the industries, this industry employs the maximum number of people. India stands second after China in the export of cotton textile.

Earlier, the cotton textile mills were mainly established in Mumbai and Ahmedabad. Today, these mills have spread across the country.

A very large number of cotton mills exist in Mumbai and so it is also called 'Cottonpolis of India'. There are many cotton textile industries in Ahmedabad. So, it is called ‘Manchester of the East' and also ‘Denim City of India’.

Cheap cotton, labour availability, transport facilities, and good markets are the chief reasons for the establishment of these industries.

The cotton textile industry is also present in Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana.
