India’s textiles sector is also one of the largest contributing sectors of India’s exports contributing 14 per cent to the country’s total exports basket. Today, India's textiles market stands at $150 billion and is expected to touch $250 billion in the next two years (by 2020). The textile industry employs about 51 million people directly and 68 million people indirectly. India has overtaken Italy and Germany to emerge as the world's second largest textile exporter. Modernising machinery is the need of the hour, for boosting Make in India. Country should focus more on skill development, infrastructure and machinery as a whole.”

Fostering R&D

Techtextil India also offered the right platform to the eight Center for Excellence units to foster R&D in the sector. Market creation is a biggest challenge since technical textiles are an important element at every walk of life. There has to be national level awareness on seamless movement between government and the industry, shared UK Gangopadhyay, Executive Director.

This year, the Telangana is the official state partner for the fair promoting textile policies and networking with potential investors. The Department of Handloom and Textiles is currently working to strengthen the textile and apparel industry, and has launched many incentive-based programmes in areas such as capital support, power tariff and land price to attract investors.
