India's positioning in the international market depends upon branding of Indian textile products.
For instance branding of handloom products by involving top designers and retail giants in the country has led to a paradigm shift in the handloom sector.
Many states still do not have a dedicated textile minister. Views and contribution of all states would be reflected in the new textile policy so that India becomes the textile destination of the world.
Various measures have been taken to boost growth and remove bottlenecks and challenges facing the sector. A huge apparel package has been given to the industry. Support would be given for expanding manufacturing capacity and employment generation capacity as only this would address the challenges of industry such as cost of power and labor.
There is a need for more dialogue and convergence between the states and the Center.
A MoU has been signed between IGNOU and The National Institute of Open Schooling to provide free, anytime, anywhere education to children of artisans and weavers.
The textile sector faces challenges, especially in the export market, due to uneven tariff and non-tariff barriers. GST is expected to bring down input costs, give a boost to textile exports and bring in greater capital investment in the sector.
