India’s current installed ring spinning spindle capacity is 43 million

India’s current installed ring spinning spindle capacity is 43 million and this is expected to be increased by 2 to 3 million spindles in the next 2-3 years. Increase and replacement of old spindles which may touch 3 million soon will lead to more cotton consumption as well as other fibers by the domestic spinning industry, said Dr. Keshav Raj Kranti, Director of the Central Research for Cotton Research, Nagpur.
