Under the Amended Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme, 16 percent subsidy for investment in technical textile has been announced by the government as the technical textiles industry is projected to grow at 20 percent year-on-year and the segment’s potential is largely untapped in the country, said Union Minister of State for Textiles Santosh Kumar Gangwar on Thursday.
