It is traditionally regarded as a rural livelihood activity, but it is currently being transformed into a highly organized investment-based industry with good start-up and export opportunities. In the high-altitude areas of Ladakh with premium pashmina wool production, to the carpet clusters in Rajasthan that are world renowned, wool has remained a critical factor in sustaining rural economies and making a contribution to the volumes of textiles exported by India.<\/p><p>The sector has been struggling with structural issues including lack of supply chain cohesion, low machineries, reliance on middlemen, and massive imports of wool of fineness quality despite its potential. These problems have hampered the capacity of India to exploit its raw material base and the demand of wool products in the world.<\/p><p>To deal with these issues the Government of India has initiated the Integrated Wool Development Programme (IWDP) through the Ministry of Textiles. This project is set to modernize the whole wool value chain, boost the earnings of farmers and create new opportunities as an entrepreneur and start-up.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db38a7f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"db38a7f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/wool-business-startup-india-iwdp\/#Get_Detailed_Insights_from_This_Book_The_Complete_Technology_Book_on_Textile_Processing_with_Effluent_Treatment\" >Get Detailed Insights from This Book: The Complete Technology Book on Textile Processing with Effluent Treatment<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/wool-business-startup-india-iwdp\/#What_is_the_Integrated_Wool_Development_Programme_IWDP\" >What is the Integrated Wool Development Programme (IWDP)?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/wool-business-startup-india-iwdp\/#Key_Components_of_IWDP\" >Key Components of IWDP<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/wool-business-startup-india-iwdp\/#Indias_Wool_Industry_Current_Scenario_and_Market_Gap\" >India\u2019s Wool Industry: Current Scenario and Market Gap<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/wool-business-startup-india-iwdp\/#Access_Complete_Business_Plan_Wool_Yarn_Manufacturing_Plant_Report\" >Access Complete Business Plan: Wool Yarn Manufacturing Plant Report<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/wool-business-startup-india-iwdp\/#Why_Wool_is_a_Promising_Startup_Sector_in_India\" >Why Wool is a Promising Startup Sector in India<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/wool-business-startup-india-iwdp\/#1_Strong_Government_Support\" >1.

Nevertheless, the nation continues to receive a huge amount of fine wool, to be used in high-end clothing and luxury fashion items.<\/p><p>This gives a significant disconnection between the domestic production and market demand. Although India has good availability of raw materials in some of its areas, value addition is still at its early stages. This leads to a significant amount of revenue being lost to imports and incomplete exports.<\/p><p>Meanwhile, the growth in global markets of Indian handmade carpet industry has been stable, which means that Indian craftsmanship is in high demand at the international level.
