Detailed Solution

The first cotton mill was set up in Calcutta. However, it turned out to be a failure. Therefore, another mill was established in Bombay in 1854 in Tardeo. This cotton mill was named Bombay Textile Mills. A resident and industrialist, Cowasji Nanabhai Davar, established this cotton mill. The Calcutta mill was the first cotton mill in India, but it was unsuccessful and shut down after a few years. The Bombay Mill was established after the Calcutta mill, and it was successful; it ran for many years.
