“Garment export from India is increasing. Similarly apparel exports from other countries are also rising which means consumption of yarn and fabrics in other countries as well as domestically will also go up.

“The consequence will be that, many of the mills will find it very difficult to repay the loans they had taken for expansion and modernization because there are large debt commitments for all of them especially spinning which is capital intensive. So they have large loans and repaying the loans will be a big problem.
