Excellences, necessary training and seminar activities and the existing reduction of certain tariffs to 5 % for textile machinery imported to India.

However, from the VDMA-point of view there are still obstacles to overcome. The market development of technical textiles in India still has to be intensified. One example is the lack of regulations and standards (e. g. in the area of infrastructure, health care) which provides the ground for further use and sustainable growth of technical textiles. So far, the use of geotextiles e. g. is not mandatory in India which, if incorporated might lead to a spurt of investments in this important field of technical textiles.

VDMA and its member companies will follow up to be constantly present in India which was the second most important customer market for German Textile Machinery exports in 2009 (161 million EUR or 9.8 billion INR). Therefore, VDMA Textile Machinery Association has recently applied for an official German pavilion on the occasion of the forthcoming trade fair Texmac India 2011 (16th – 19th March 2011, Mumbai).

Due to the leading role of German textile technology worldwide and the innovative solutions provided by more than 120 member companies, VDMA is convinced that the German industry is the right partner to successfully support the Indian textile industry in their upgrading activities in the future.
