Individual Parameters Contributing to the Score
Moderate Over Supply

Exports value of Jute Products has increased by 38.1% from Rs.27.4 billion for FY21 to Rs.37.9 billion for FY22. Demand for this industry is likely to improve going ahead.
Fragmented Industry
The industry structure in India is characterised by a large number of small to mid sized players with high competitive intensity.
Stable Regulatory environment
Central government has unveiled the National Textile Policy. The focus will be on technology upgradation in order to improve competitiveness of the domestic players. As this industry comes under MSME category and highly labour intensive, it enjoys strong government support.
No supply disruptions / very narrow price band or fluctuations
The fibre availability in India is usually adequate for spinning mills though in case of a demand-supply gap, there can be raw material price volatility. The power tariff is another risk factor which is offset by many players through captive generation units.
