Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The power looms gave tough competition to the Ahmedabad textile mills in the late 19th century. Ahmedabad textile mills were very famous for their cotton fabrics. It was a booming industry and was called the Manchester of India. These mills were labour-oriented and, thus, employed thousands of workers from all over the country. The cotton fabrics produced by the mills were exported all over the world. But with the introduction and increased use of power looms during the 1980s and 1990s, the output of textile mills went down as these were labour-oriented. These mills were obliged to shut down during the late 19th century.
