The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council (Texprocil) has urged the ministry for higher incentives including 5 percent duty reduction for exports to China. This incentive will help to put another USD 7 billion worth of fabrics and home textiles into China and reduce the trade deficit of USD 32 billion with China.
India has a USD 32 billion trade deficit with China, in which USD 12 billion worth of imports are allowed to come into India either duty free or at concessional duties. India on the other hand has not acquired any reciprocal benefit.
