From blow room to spindles, there was complete modernisation of these six mills and trial run is on at present.

Productivity and quality will improve and more number of people will be employed with the modernisation and the new loom shed, according to officials.

Consolidation and modernisation is being considered by NTC, which has seven mills in the State. Two years ago, it had taken up capacity addition in two mills and invested in modernisation between 2008 and 2010. A Arulsamy, Executive Director (South) said this has helped the mills improve productivity, reduce costs and improve quality. However, another round of consolidation and modernisation is needed now.
