Textile South Asia – What is your expectation on growth in textile manufacturing and exports from India after the Indian government’s increased focus on textile sector?
Sarthi Sawhney – There is a lot of work to be done to promote textile manufacturing and exports from India. Laws and policies from the central government go in one direction while there is a different direction by the state/ local governments and the overall execution. Every textile factory struggles with complicated and confusing legislation such as labor laws, customs regulations, building, and fire compliances, and time-consuming post-shipment documentation. The PLI scheme seems to benefit only those companies who can deploy large capital and are already well established.
