The CMTI submitted the project report to the Government.

A meeting of the Loom development consortium members with CMTI officials

was held on 17th November, 2014 in Surat to discuss about their analysis of

the looms they studied, the estimated expenditure of the project and the

progress of the project. On 26th November 2014, DHI called up for a

Screening Committee meeting for approval of various projects on capital

goods industry in which CMTI on behalf of the consortium & TMMA

presented the loom development project. The project was
