Which of the following is NOT one of the factors that has contributed towards localisation of the cotton textile industry in India?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Dry climate.
Dry climate is NOT one of the factors that has contributed towards the localization of the cotton textile industry in India. The main factors contributing to the localization include:
- Accessible port facilities for importing machinery and exporting finished goods.
- Availability of labor for the textile mills.
- Availability of raw cotton as a key input for production.
A dry climate is generally less favorable for cotton cultivation and thus not a significant factor in the localization of the cotton textile industry.
