The Suresh Halwankar Committee formed to review the existing textile policy of Maharashtra taking into consideration that India are losing out the market to China mainly because it takes nine months for Indian cotton to become a garment. While in China, it takes just two months because of full-fledged textile hubs and hence recommended establishment of mega-textile hubs spread over 1,000 hectares as against allowing garment factories to come up in a scattered manner.
