The Indian textile industry is the most prominent sector of the economy and plays a crucial role in its growth and development. The study is based on secondary data collected from the websites of the leading textile companies in India. The purpose of this study is to determine the disparity between the total resource growth of the top Indian textile companies and its effect on profitability. Financial ratios and statistical tools are utilized to determine the profitability, disparity in resource growth, and its effect on the profitability of the leading textile companies in India. The relationship between total resources and gross profitability (profit before depreciation, interest, and taxes) is concluded to be positive but U-shaped in leading textile companies in India. The governance of profitability on capital employed (ROCE -return on capital employed) is superior to that of profitability on total resources (ROA-return on assets). Based on analysis and findings it is advised to invest in the current assets of the leading Indian textile firms to maximize returns until the profitability of the sales begins to decline (PBDIT) because the relationship between enhancement of resources and the profitability of the sales or gross profitability (PBDIT) is U-shaped.

“…On the other hand, the economic conditions of trade destination countries also affected the demand for textile exports in the textile industry (Bank Indonesia, 2016). The increasing competitiveness of textile products in several textile manufacturing countries such as Bangladesh and India also affected the number of textile products exports, making trade relations between Indonesia and China in the textile industry products dominated by Inter-Industry relations as shown in the results of analysis with SITC standards and ISIC (Agarwal, Kaur, & De, 2017;Bank Indonesia, 2016). This shows that there are other potential commodities that can be increased in maintaining and improving trade relations between Indonesia and China to increase the surplus value of Indonesia's trade balance.…”

The result shows that Intra-textile textile trade intensity between Indonesia and China, from 2000-2013 based on the ISIC 321 category (textile industry) obtained by Indonesia and China intra-industry trade, because the overall intra-industry trade index is 53.9%. Suggestion to the The government is expected to be able to boost the performance of exports and consumption of the domestic community, because so far Indonesia's economic growth has been driven more by the performance of exports and household consumption which is still quite strong; Policies regarding investment licensing must be further simplified and there is a guarantee of the availability of energy supplies for the textile industry machinery.
