According to Mr Avinash Mayekar, investors are wary of investing in the technical textiles sector as they are not sure of getting a market for the products that they will produce, so the urgent need is to develop markets.
Dr Basu said, “MANTRA is equipped with modern testing facilities particularly for technical textiles goods and requested existing units as well those planning to invest, to take advantage of these facilities.”
Mr Karvie informed that the future is bright for the technical textiles, but newcomers have to be patient as well as passionate about the business.
Mr Jariwala asked the government to frame policies which will help the growth of the technical textiles segment. One example he gave was to make use of medical hospital disposable products like gloves, mask, gown, etc. mandatory like in western countries.
Dr Talukdar who represented Kusumgar Textiles, said, “We have done awareness programs on technical textiles for the textile industry and now more number of entrepreneurs should start investing in the sector, as there are lots of opportunities in the sector.
“However, there is a dearth of trained technicians in the nonwovens sector. To resolve the same, subject of technical textiles should be included in the curriculum of textile institutes, training programs should be continuously held and the government should come forward and take the initiative to hold these programs”.
The panel was also worried over the fact that the Indian government might ban use of a particular type of nonwovens in the future, on the same lines as the ban on plastic bags since, products made from nonwovens are not fully biodegradable.
All in all, most of the delegates left on a satisfied note, enlightened and awed by the high level of topics discussed and latest technologies showcased at the conference and admired the order in which, the conference deliberations were conducted.
The question-answer sessions were also well appreciated as it enabled delegates to seek first-hand answers to their queries from experts.
