Four major problems faced by cotton textile mills in India.

1. The yarn in India is produced by small industries and units which largely cater to local markets. Thus, while many spinners export cotton yarn, many garment manufacturers have to import fabric. Therefore, there is a mismatch between the two.

2. Most of the machinery installed in cotton mills are outdated and need to be replaced.

3. Irregular power supply has hampered production.

4. The cotton industry is facing tough competition from the fibre industry.
