Ministry of Textiles inviting Research proposals for Funding for Design,
Development and Manufacturing of Machinery, Tools, Equipment, and Testing Instruments
under NTTM
In order to position India
as the global leader in Technical Textiles manufacturing, Government of India, Ministry
of Textiles is inviting Research proposals for Funding for Design, Development and
Manufacturing of Machinery, Tools, Equipment, and Testing Instruments under NTTM.
As on date high-tech machinery,
equipment, plants, special tools and accessories are being largely imported. In
order to meet the diverse needs of textile industry and to make our nation self-reliant
and Atmanirbhar, it is essential to go for indigenisation
by tapping the local skill in design, engineering, fabrication and prototyping.
Hence NTTM under Component-I (Research, Innovation and Development) envisages indigenous
manufacturing of machinery, equipment, tools and testing instruments for Technical
Textiles on Make in India concept.
Novel proposals are invited
from Companies engaged in manufacturing of any machinery (preferably Textile machinery),
Textile/Garment value chain manufacturers, Research organisations, Academic institutions
(both public funded and private).
The detailed General guidelines
are available on the official website of the National Technical Textiles Mission
(NTTM), Ministry of Textiles, viz. nttm.texmin.gov.in

Indigenous development
of state-of-the-art technical textile machinery and equipment would support and
enhance the manufacturing capabilities of high-end technological products, and thus
would play an instrumental role in driving India’s Technology Readiness Level in
technical textiles.
