According to Mr. Mallyah, organizer and executive director of TecniTex Nonwovens Pvt Ltd., “Even though, there are only few investments in India for nonwoven roll good manufacturing of Spunlace and Spunbond fabrics. Adequate converters or converting clusters are missing to consume these fabrics. Hence these manufacturers are heavily depending up on exports. We want this platform to be a useful forum for the Indian textile and allied sectors and young and new entrepreneurs for getting into converting technical textile products business. India needs aggressive investments in value added technical textile sector”.
