GUIDELINES: |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
TCIDS Scheme is a part of the drive
to improve infrastructure facilities
at potential textile |
| |
|
|
growth centres and therefore, aims
at removing bottlenecks in exports
so as to achieve the |
| |
|
|
target of US$ 50 billion by 2010 as
envisaged in the National Textile
Policy, 2000. |
|
|
|

|
|
The scheme shall cover investments,
which are in the nature of
exigencies, or emergencies |
| |
|
|
and which could not be foreseen as
part of the annual plan scheme
proposals. Broadly, the |
| |
|
|
scheme covers and Investments
required for quicker and strategic
removal of bottlenecks and |
| |
|
|
for general export facilitation. The
investment must reflect its linkage
to export promotion. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Balancing investment may, inter alia,
relate to:- |
| |
|
|
|
|
construction of roads |
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
Under the Scheme funds can be given
to Central/ State Government
Departments/ Public |
| |
|
|
Sector Undertakings/ Other Central
/State Government’s
agencies/recognized industrial
association or entrepreneur bodies
for development of infrastructure
directly benefiting the
textile units. The fund would not be
available for individual production
units. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The balancing investment should be
(other than in exceptional
circumstances) not in the |
| |
|
|
nature of a total project by itself
but an additive or adjunct to an
existing or proposed facility.The
Central assistance will be generally
limited to 50% of the critical
components of the project subject to
a maximum of Rs.20 crores for a
particular centre. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The funds would generally be
provided on reimbursement basis.
However, in appropriate |
|
|
|
cases, advance payment may be
considered. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The investment proposals should be
supported by estimates duly vetted
by the Department |
| |
|
|
concerned. All the proposals
emanating from a particular State/
Union Territory should come
through the Secretary incharge of
Textiles of the concerned State/
Union Territory and should
have an indication/ commitment about
the contribution to be made by the
proposed agency/
State Government. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The benefits accruing from the
proposed investment should be
quantified in terms of increase |
|
|
|
|
in production/exports/investment to
establish the project desirability. |
