Indian govt promoting textile exports in newer markets (India)

The Government of India is actively promoting textile exports to newer countries under a programme initiated by it around two years ago, Commerce Secretary Mr. SR Rao has said.

 

There is vast scope for boosting India’s textile exports to Iran, the Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries, he said.

 

India can also export its textiles to China, which is currently the biggest textile exporter in the world, he added.

 

Echoing similar views, Mr. Rafeeque Ahmed, President of Federation of Indian Exporters Organization (FIEO), said there is greater scope for Indian textiles in China.

 

India is currently the second biggest manufacturer of textiles and garments, next to China.
