Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS)

industry suffers from

severe technological obsolescence and

lack of economies of scale. most important factor inhibiting technology upgradation has been the relatively high cost of macinery Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) formodernisation of the industry.

Page 10: Government initiatives

Definition of Technology Upgradation

Technology upgradation would ordinarily mean induction of state-of-the-art or near-state-of the- art technology. technology levels are benchmarked in terms of specified machinery for each sector of the textile industry.

Machinery with technology levels lower than that specified will not be permitted for funding under the TUFS.

Approaching TUFS

Page 19: Government initiatives

The scheme aims at the upgradation of ITI. It was introduced keeping in view the huge international market, which is open for the ITI following globalisation and dismantling of quotas in the post-GATT regime. competition is hot, with Korea, Taiwan, China and Pakistan in the race and showing signs of gobbling up a major chunk of the market. To claim its share, ITI needs total modernisation.India has already put up a good show on the garment front by having raised a large volume in exports. But the quality aspects and price realisations have fallen far short of expectationsthus raising doubts about future growth. Many importers have already complained at the inconsistencies of quality in the consignments, but have expressed the hope that India has the resilience to put out of it and perform exceedingly well in the years to come.

Institutions Promoting Cleaner Production

The UNEP (United Nations environment Programme) financial institutions initiative on the Environment was founded in 1992

The Statement by Banks on the “Environment and Sustainable Development" was signed by 30 banks following the Earth Summit in Rio.

By the end of 2000 more than 170 financial institutions were signatories.

Page 39: Government initiatives

The initiative promotes the integration of

environmental considerations into all aspects of the financial sector’s operations and services through building

awareness,

dialogue

understanding To foster private sector investment in environmentally sound technologies and services.

Page 40: Government initiatives

UNEP is now implementing a four-year project

"Strategies and mechanisms for promoting CP (Cleaner Production) investments in developing countries".

The project will demonstrate how to stimulated financial institutions to understand the importance of CP and

helping CP experts and entrepreneurs to develop creditworthy investment proposals.

Page 41: Government initiatives

Within the framework of the project,

a survey was carried out in 2000 to collect data onvarious stakeholders involved in promoting CP financing.

The survey revealed that newinitiatives are emerging, particularly in governmental or semi-governmental institutions.Financial institutions lag behind.

Very few commercial banks perceive a CP strategy adoptedby a loan applicant as a favourable criterion for approving funds Most financial flows towards CP investments still originate from special credit lines or Revolving funds set up by multilateral or bilateral development finance institutions for selected countries or regions.

Clean Technology Initiative (CTI)

CTI is an United States Agency for International Development (USAID) project emphasizingprivate voluntary initiatives to promote cleaner, climate friendly technologies and improve environmental management practices.

CTI, a program of USAID in collaboration with ICICI Limited, offers financial and technical assistance to Indian industry in selected sectors in which ITI is one of them.

CTI promotes industrial voluntary initiatives for the adoption of clean, climate-friendly technologies and

certifiable environmental management systems (ISO 14001).

CTI draws on the expertise of American and Indian experts led by Tetra Tech a leading U.S. environmental engineering and consulting firm specializing in pollution abatement and environmental protection.

Page 60: Government initiatives

CTI aims to sustainable increase environmental protection enhancing industrial productivity and competitiveness.

CTI is accelerating the adoption of cleaner technologies in the sectors like

ITI by providing them with targeted technical and financial assistance.

Trade in Environmental Services and Technologiesproject (TEST)

The on going new phase of USAID Trade in Environmental Services and Technologies project (TEST) helps Indian industries

adopt environmental sound practices.

The project is currently implementing a

clean technology initiative

to strengthen incentives for the voluntary adoption of

environmental management systems (ISO 14000/01,

benchmarking,

greening the supply chain management)

by the industry

Page 64: Government initiatives

The effort is focused primarily on selected, rapidly growing and major polluting industrial sectors(including textiles and chemicals).

The program also provides financial support for thedemonstration of environment-friendly clean technologies and outreach and awareness activities with industry participation. The projects provides a total assistance of € 33 million($ 29,9 million) for a period of ten years (Sept 1992- Sept 2002), which accounts about € 3 million per year for all sectors, which is

very less for the country like India with its huge andvarying sectors.

The initiatives have to be carried out from cradle to grave.

Page 65: Government initiatives

Such an initiative could also be provided by the EU, who is lagging behind even though being a world leaders in environment protection.

The market entry of the EU members will not only benefit the ITI, but also provide competitive and economic advantages for EU companies.

GOI Schemes

GoI is running many schemes bringing new policies for the well being of the sector under domestic andglobal markets.

Page 68: Government initiatives

Private sector Initiatives

Some private companies had already adapted themselves to the requirements of the market orientation.

Some new success had been seen through the Green Supply ChainManagement (GSCM) under the USAID initiatives.

Some are putting efforts by themselves through joint ventures, raising funds through shares etc which are utilised for restructuring/reengineering of textile industry

There is a growing interest in bringing initiatives into action, but

the hindrance in

technology,

management,

orientation of market is

hampering the sustainable growth of the textile sector.

Page 69: Government initiatives

Summary

There is a potential support by GoI targeting

Textile and apparel exports to € 55 billion by 2010.

With this foresight GoI has earmarked for implementing vigorously

TUFS and TMC under its NTxP 2000.

There is a tremendous support and encouragement from government for the private sector,

institutions,

R&D etc.,

for restructuring the ITI as an environment friendly and internationally competitive sector.

Page 70: Government initiatives

The MoEF and its agencies, are signatories to many

environment related treaties has agreed to comply with the commitments.

Under this effort it is striving hard by

bringing into action new schemes and policies.

Its activities are also backed up by many international organisations by supporting it with policy advice and financial assistance.

The government has also acquired a good image in the international scenario

Page 71: Government initiatives

The growing awareness of environment protection worldwide.

many international investing institutions started investing under CP. there is a prediction that many institutions are expected to queue up to finance CP, due to its growing importance under trade.

Page 72: Government initiatives

The relation between trade and environment left many ITIs helpless as the nation lack in CP technologies.

ITI is a livelihood of many , neither GoI nor private sectors can denyits need for upgradation and modernisation.

The Government of India is committed to providing a conducive environment to enable the ITI to realise its full potential, to achieve

global excellence, and

to fulfil its obligation to different sections of the society.

There is considerable pressure from international markets for environemnt protection

ITI no other way but to develop a “Green Image” by promoting

environment-friendly products.

Page 73: Government initiatives

Indian Environmental Market

India’s environmental problems are gaining global significance because of

rapid population growth Aggressive speed of urbanisation

lack of infrastructure. tremendous pressure on the natural resources need to strike a balance between the economic development and the urgency to safeguard the environment industrial pollution is main cause of declining water, air, and land quality health impact on human beings and aquatic life

Page 74: Government initiatives

SSI and Environment

India is responding to calls for environmental improvements with stricter laws,court actions, programs and initiatives aimed at raising environmental spending.

Compliance among the estimated three million small-scale industrial units is still extremely low (Total industrial sector including ITI)

Small-scale industries account for over 40% of industrial output in value terms, but their share of industrial pollution is disproportionately high.

The majority of these units belongs to the decentralized sector and is thus difficult to regulate

Page 75: Government initiatives

While several large forward-thinking enterprises go for adopting integrated environmental management policies,

most domestic industries are generally hard-pressed to go beyond basic compliance.

Constraints

Shortage of capital

Limited access to technology

Underdeveloped infrastructure

Limited research and development capability for technology improvement

Lack of awareness of the options for pollution control and prevention
