Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) which was introduced in 1999 to catalyze investments in all the sub sectors of textiles industry by way of interest reimbursement. The scheme mainly focuses on modernization of processing, spinning, and weaving, garmenting and technical textiles segments, where there is good scope for massive employment generation and value-addition.
The textile ministry is now mulling over a proposal to restructure the textile upgrade fund (TUF) for making it broad based to include many more areas and make better benefits under the new textile policy proposed.
