National Technical Textiles Mission (NTTM)

National Technical Textiles Mission — (Source: bizzield.com)

The penetration level for technical textiles in India varies from 5% to 10% compared to the high level of 30-40% in developed countries. To enhance the usage of these textiles, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has established a National Technical Textiles Mission in 2020, with a budget of ₹1480 crore.

However, for a successful enrolment under this scheme, one might consider knowing every detail of this scheme. To that end, a skim through this piece can be a good start.

What Is the National Technical Textile Mission?

Textile materials that are manufactured for their technical performance and functional properties rather than aesthetic and decorative features fall under the technical textiles category. These products are broadly classified into 12 different categories- Agrotech, Oekotech, Buildtech, Meditech, Geotech, Clothtech, Mobiltech, Hometech, Sportstech,Indutech, Protech, Packtech.

To position India in technical textiles as a global leader, the Ministry of Textiles launched this scheme. The present yearly value of technical textiles is ₹14,000 crore. This mission aims to amp up this figure to ₹20,000 crore by 2021-22. This will ensure 10% yearly export growth on an average till 2023-24.

In this regard, let’s check out how the National Technical Textiles Mission ministry plans to implement this scheme.

How Does NTTM Scheme Work?

The Ministry will implement this mission through a three-tier institutional mechanism consisting of the following groups -

Mission Steering Group: This group will approve all financial norms concerning the mission’s schemes, programmes and components. They will also approve scientific and technological research projects under this mission.
Empowered Programme Committee: They will approve all projects except research projects, which are within the financial limits of several programmes as approved by the mission steering group. The committee will also be responsible for monitoring the implementation of various mission components.
Technical Textiles Committee on Research, Development and Innovation: This committee identifies and recommends research projects to the mission steering group for approval. The projects are related to strategic sectors such as space, defence, para-military, security and atomic energy.

Due to increased agricultural productivity, farmers’ incomes for every acre of land will also increase.

Usage of geotextiles in highways, railways and ports will result in solid infrastructure, a higher life cycle, and lower maintenance costs of the infrastructure assets.
