of which were privatized in terms of ownership and/or management. Out of the sixteen textile
mills, eight are vertically integrated and having spinning, weaving/knitting and processing.
There are three stand alone spinning mills which supply yarn to local and overseas market.
There is one independent weaving mill which produces grey cloth for export market and three
knitting mills which cater to the requirements of local garment makers. Ten mills have
processing facilities for woven and knitted fabrics. In terms of location, the textile mills are
spread all over the country.
