The Government of India through CSB has so far supported the establishment of 46 multi-end reeling units in Tamil Nadu. This information was given by the Minister of State for Textiles, Panabaaka Lakshmi in the Lok Sabha, in a written reply to a question by Sivasami C.
The Minister further said that with a view to facilitate production of quality raw silk of international standards, support was provided for the establishment of one automatic reeling unit in Gobichettypalayam under the X plan.

This reeling unit can absorb the cocoon produced in Udumalpet, Pollachi and Puravipalayam areas due to its proximity to Gobichettypalayam.
