Covid-19 has altered global textile & apparel (T&A) supply chain with several brands preferring more than one sourcing destination.
Further, US-China trade war & imposition of additional duties on Chinese T&A imports have forced US-based importers to search for alternatives.
In December, US signed a law that bans imports from China's Xinjiang region over concerns about forced labour. As Xinjiang constitutes ~ 20 per cent of global cotton market, supply re-adjustment on account of this ban has led to more demand for Indian cotton and cotton yarn.
Countries such as China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Cambodia have become reliant on India for their cotton requirements after the ban, and Indian cotton exports have skyrocketed in the past eight months as a result.
The government’s efforts to introduce export promotion policies for the textiles sector has opened up multiple opportunities for industry players.
The government has approved PLI scheme for textiles, with an outlay of Rs. 10,683 crore for 5 years.
Each and Every company related to textile sector will directly or indirectly benefit from this.
