BUSINESS SEGMENT: i. TEXTILE BUSINESS

Industry Structure and Development:

As per the International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF), the Textile sector has seen weakening demand since June 2022 due to persistent global inflation and lingering possibilities of a recession. Inflation has affected consumers and manufacturers alike with manufacturers and suppliers having to pay much more along all stages of their supply chains, from the cost of freight to wage increases for their workers. This has put textile manufacturers in a difficult situation. Despite the slowdown in the sector globally, the Indian textile and apparel industry is expected to grow at 10% CAGR from 2019-20 to reach US$ 190 billion by 2025-26. The overall Indian textiles market is expected to be worth more than US$ 209 billion by 2029. In FY23, exports of readymade garments (RMG) cotton including accessories stood at US$ 7.68 billion till January 2023. It is expected to surpass US$ 30 billion by 2027, with an estimated 4.6-4.9% share globally. This has been made possible due to a structurally strong Indian economy fuelled by an ever-increasing domestic demand and some critical policy initiatives taken by the Government of India.

Textile industry plays the most important role in earning of foreign exchange and provides gainful employment to millions of people. The emerging tendency to spend more on life style products and the spread of organized retailing and e-retailing to smaller towns and even rural areas, has increased the demand for textile products in the domestic market. The industry is expected to grow substantially in the upcoming years and also in the long run.

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS: Opportunities:

• Favorable government initiatives such as the National Technical Textiles Mission (NTTM), 100% FDI in the sector, SAMARTH-Scheme for Capacity Building in the Textile Sector, etc. for the development of the textile industry.

• Extension of the scheme for Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) till March 31, 2024, for the export of apparel, garments and made-ups with the same rates would benefit textile companies.

b. Challenges

Textile industry is always subject to facing crisis in a cyclical way and increased competition due to surplus capacity in the country has resulted in pressure on margins due to price under cutting in the market.

Rupee values in the global market has affected in the past few months thus making it extremely difficult to be competitive at a time when some of our major competing countries are depreciating against dollar and exporters are being badly affected.
