What is ITTA ITTA is the NASSCOM for Technical Textiles in India. NASSCOM took Indian IT sector from $ 100 million to $ million over the last 25 years. We do hope ITTA also helps faciliate the growth for the TT sector in a similar scale. The only difference is – While NASSCOM was Outward focused – ITTA is aimed at growing Indian Consumption for Technical Textiles and thereby fuel its growth.

ITTA’s Vision Roti,Kapda Aur Makan ab Technical Textiles Ke Sath. NASSCOM- Roti Kapda Aur Makan – bijli aur band width

India’s Growing Needs More Food from less land and lesser resources. Huge Infrastructure Development of high quality and with less maintenance costs. Employment opportunities for our growing population Conventional Textiles – facing global competition- thus needs a “Jack” to grow in future. Manufacturing Sector – increasing its share – thus health and safety of workers and their families becoming critical CSR issues. Meet growing need of Industry for newer raw materials which will help reduce costs and improve performance. To make Indian Health care system – world class………

ITTA’s Dream The benefits of technical textiles will be felt by the common man in his daily life leading to a better quality of life. The usage of Geo textiles will be wide spread. Agro textiles will be extensively used to improve crop yield and conserve resources. The use of protective textiles will be automatic thus protecting our workers from hazards like their counter parts in the developed countries. The sector will provide new employment opportunities to our youths and also help create entrepreneurs in the new applications it brings forth India to become a major product development and research centre to develop new applications and products in the technical textiles area. The Indian landscape will be dotted with Awnings and textile structures not only for aesthetics but also for their functional benefits.
