Stage one being of production efficiency and stage two of social efficiency. The study has utilised Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) unit level data for NIC-2008 industry codes NIC131 (spinning weaving and finishing of textile industry) and NIC-141 (manufacture of wearing apparel, except fur apparel) for the period of five years. Important finding of the analysis is that the managerial slacks are restricting the potential efficiency gains to Indian spinning, weaving and finishing of textile industry while, the large-scale inefficiency is potential threat to manufacturing of wearing apparel except fur industry.
