During the early period of its development, the textile industry in India faced many problems.
- In most countries, governments supported local manufacturers by imposing heavy duties on imports. This finished the competition and protected their infant industries.
- English producers wanted a secure market within the country by preventing the entry of Indian textiles. British government enacted the Calico Act.
- The colonial government in India usually refused such protection to local industries.
