Detailed Solution

Cotton production in India doubled between 1900 - 1912.
Late nineteenth-century Indian businesses avoided competing with Manchester products in the Indian market when they started establishing industries. Early cotton mills in India produced coarse cotton thread rather than fabric since the yarn was not a significant component of British imports into India. Only the best kinds of yarn were imported at that time. Weavers of handlooms in India and China both used the yarn created by spinning mills in India. By the first decade of the 20th century, a number of changes had an impact on the pattern of industrialization. Nationalists encouraged people to shun foreign clothing as the swadeshi movement gained traction. Industrial associations banded together to defend their common interests, putting pressure on the government to increase tariff protection and make other concessions. Additionally, since Chinese and Japanese mills' products saturated the Chinese market starting in 1906, the shipment of Indian yarn to China decreased.
Indian businessmen started switching from the production of yarn to textiles as a result. Between 1900 and 1912, India's production of cotton goods increased.
