Government has made provisions for a special corpus fund in the next Five Year Plan for branding Indian cotton.
"The Government has kept a particular fund this year for branding cotton in the Plan, which has been provided for the first time," said Sudripto Roy.
"An India brand is important as a lot of Indian cotton is being shown as grown in other countries." He says, "Shankar is a very important brand. If it is branded (internationally), one would say if it is Shankar, it is from India," Roy said.
"We are trying to make a branded market so that the quality is standardised. Indian cotton is needed to be marketed globally, and that too properly," K F Jhunjhunwala, President, East India Cotton Association said.
Textile firms should work closely with suppliers and customers in order to reduce working capital cycle and release funds for capital investment, a study by Crisil suggests.
