CRISIL conducted a study on the growth performance of 774 micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) rated by it in the textile sector. Their performance was analysed for the three-year period 2010-11 to 2012-13 (refers to the financial year, April 1 to March 31), according to a media report.

MSMEs in northern and southern India performed better than the enterprises in eastern and western India in sales growth, with a CAGR of 21 per cent.

According to the study, the key contributors to north India's growth story were MSMEs from Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh, all with a CAGR of 23 per cent.

Meanwhile the enterprises from the states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu contributed to growth in in South India with a CAGR of 23 per cent, 22 per cent, and 19 per cent respectively.

The Rs 200-crore Budget proposal to set up six new mega-clusters across the country is expected to significantly benefit the textile industries of both North and South India, which are expecting four of these mega-clusters, planned at Bareilly, Lucknow, Mysore, and Tamil Nadu, reports media.
