The Indian market, he said, was extremely price sensitive and import inhibits the consumption of various items of technical textiles. With indigenous production, the market for most of these products will grow substantially, Mr. Singh observed.

The topics and issues that were discussed at the conference include: India: The Next Destination for Techical Textiles; Development of Standards in Technical Textiles; Geotech, Buildtech, Mobiltech and Meditech; and Defence & Fire Retardant Techical Textiles
