The ITF's appeal has come on the heels of the government finalising first draft of the Joint Study Group (JSG) report on the feasibility of India-EAEU FTA.
In a letter to Sitharaman, ITF Secretary, Prabhu Dhamodaran said that there were tremendous opportunities for the Indian textile sector to exploit in the Eurassian region.
He stressed that the Indian textile industry must expand to untapped markets to overcome the challenges raised by the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). He said ITF had already submitted the basic information regarding the scope for export of Indian textile products to Russia, the main country in EAEU or Eurassian Economic Union.
The ITF Secretary pointed out that while Russia had imported textile and apparel items worth $13.5 billion, of which apparel items accounted for $7.5 billion in the 2014 fiscal, India's share was just $248 million of this huge Russian market. (SH)
