Govt to promote India’s textiles exports: Textiles Secretary

The government will accord focused attention to promote India’s textiles exports, which declined for the second year in a row in 2023-24, Textiles Secretary Rachna Shah said.

The government has set an ambitious target to achieve USD 100 billion export for textile products by 2030.

The cumulative exports of textiles and apparel from India during April 2023-March 2024 registered a de-growth of 3.24 per cent at USD 34.4 billion, as compared to USD 35.5 billion in April 2022-March 2023.

Although geo-political challenges remain, the textiles secretary said some exporters have reported improvement in their order books in the first quarter and the shipments are likely to improve in the coming months.

She said the free trade agreements, which India has entered into with other nations “hopefully will open up more opportunities” for the textiles exports.

India has been losing ground in global garments trade to countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam due to their lower labour costs, larger operation footprints, and benefits from free trade agreements.
