Indian textile has a global exports share of just 3.5 percent that leaves huge scope for increasing it and the potential to export an additional USD 4-5 billion as China, which enjoys 35 per cent share, is slowly reducing its exports.
If the government eases tariff burden and raise overall concession under the Focus Product Scheme to 7 percent, the textile industry can easily add another USD 4-5 billion. The country's textile exports stood at USD 40 billion last year, stated Texprocil Chairman Manikam Ramaswami.
