In what is shaping up as a turf war, the power loom sector in
Arguing that there are more products that require intricate skills and the demand for which cannot be met by the handloom sector, Chairman of Powerloom Development and Export Promotion Council (PDEXCIL) M Duraisamy said restriction must be lifted from those items too.
The PDEXCIL chairman said that a bulk of the handloom weavers in the country were based in the northeastern states where women take to weaving as a “part time” activity which leaves a huge gap between demand and production.
The handlooms sector's productivity is quite low despite 22 lakh handlooms in the country as against 24 lakh power looms.
The textile items reserved for handlooms include saris with extra warp and extra weft designs, saris with solid coloured woven border, tie and dye saris, dhotis, towel and 'angavastram', lungi, 'jamakkalam durry, and shawl.
According to official sources, the Central Government has constituted a committee to amend the Handloom Reservation Act, to pave way for removing some items from the list, the report said.

动力织机部门希望削减手摇纺织机列表
正形成一个地盘争夺战，南印度动力织机部门正寻求进一步减少手摇纺织产品的数量。数量已经从21项减少到11项。

PDEXCIL主席表示,该国大部分手工织布工分布在东北部，在那里妇女将织布作为“兼职”活动，使巨大的需求和生产之间产生差距。
手摇纺织部门的生产率很低,尽管在全国有220万手摇纺织机，而动力织机为240万。
为手摇纺织机保留的纺织项目包括特种经纱和特种纬纱纱丽，素色纱丽,领带和染色纱丽,腰布,毛巾,头巾和披肩。
据官方消息,中央政府已经组成了一个委员会来修改手摇纺织机保留法案,为从列表中删除一些项目铺平道路,报告说。
