India recently said the new Textiles Policy 2020 being formulated is aimed at developing a competitive, modern, sustainable and inclusive textile sector. This new policy will have a special focus on manufacturing of apparel and garment, technical textiles, man-made fibre products and exports. The textiles ministry has sought suggestions on the policy.

The policy will envisage positioning India as a fully integrated, globally-competitive manufacturing and exporting hub, according to an official release.

The policy will entail the strategy and action plan for the country’s textile and apparel segments, while maintaining pre-eminent position in handicraft and handloom sectors.

“The entire effort is being made to realise the Prime Minister’s vision of ‘Make in India’ for the country and for identifying one strong product with export potential from every district and cluster,” the ministry said.

In the statement, the ministry said it is requesting substantive inputs and suggestions from all stake-holders, including individuals and associations on various topics like wool, cotton, silk, jute, man-made fibre, handloom, handicraft, power loom, infrastructure, investment, apparel, exports, branding and quality control, technical textiles, human resource, technology and machinery up-gradation to take forward various sub sectors of Textiles Industry to a level where production, exports and employment grows at faster pace.

Inputs and suggestions can be received till January 15.
