The Government is also considering revision of the EXI M Policy to provide necessary policy framework to the industry. The PDEXCIL is currently formulating its suggestions in this regard. There is an urgent need to recast the EXIM policy altogether in order to provide more emphasis on small scale sector. Since the small scale sector which covers powerloom textile industry, is the backbone of the economy, it is imperative to provide necessary facilities and benefits to this sector so that these small industries could emerge as large scale industries in due course. What is currently needed is appropriate schemes for development of the small scale powerloom textile industry.      The industry suffers on account of inadequate infrastructural facility. Power is one of the major constraints. If necessary infrastructural facility is provided to the industry, it would be able to maintain its production schedule.      The industry also suffers from lack of adequate finance for carrying out upgradation of its technology and also measures to improve the quality of the products. If the policy covers suitable solutions to these problems, it would help the industry a great deal to come out of its present shortcomings. Emphasis also needs to be laid on simplification of the procedures involved so that the procedural hurdles are not encountered. The policy therefore needs to be broad-based to cover all aspects.     I am sure that the new Government will lay down a broad-based, a rational and a progressive policy for the benefit of the industry and trade, so that there will be an all-round growth in the industrial sector in general and in the textile industry in particular.
