AEPC Chairman, Mr. Uppal, commented that, “This impressive growth of 25% is a clear cut indication that Indian industry is poised to emerge as one of the top sourcing destination, with high on ethical agenda and ensuring best compliant standards destinations in the world. The global developments in China and Bangladesh as competing countries have also given the thrust to our exports like; vacation of export market space due to serious labour problem by China (moving To Cosmetics, engineering) and Myanmar and Bangladesh are facing the problem of non- compliance for the large number of factories, etc.

“However, the garment exporters are putting in their best efforts and itching to do much more. Exporters are constantly leveraging the existing strengths in terms of raw material, compliant factories but, the availability of specialty fibre as a raw material is a key constraint to even out the seasonality character of the trade, which is the need of the hour. The government must now allow the request made by apparel export industry for 5% duty scrip at least in case of speciality segment so that we could work to our potential.

“Simplification of labour laws, the availability of soft credit for the industry at a fixed rate of 7%, may further strengthen exports. He also said that the vision of the Hon’ble Prime Minister –“Skill, Scale and Speed” finds a lot of synergy in Apparel Export Promotion Council, which is already doing a lot of work in training the manpower, employing them in large numbers in apparel factories and geared to speed up, provided it receives little support from government in policy initiatives and tax reforms”.
