External Environment
Global Economic Condition and Outlook:
The year 2022 saw the developed world grapple with some of the highest levels of
inflation in recent history. The global recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and Russias
invasion of Ukraine is slowing amid widening divergences among economic sectors and
regions. In May, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced COVID-19 as no longer a
"global health emergency". However, Inflation remains high and continues to
erode household purchasing power. As per the IMF estimates, the world economy grew by 3.4%
in 2022. The most notable disparity was seen between the growths of Advanced and Emerging
economies. The Advanced economies grew by 2.7% in 2022 while the Emerging economies led by
China and India grew by 4% in 2022.
The IMF estimates that the global growth is projected to fall from an estimated 3.5% in
2022 to 3.0% in both 2023 and 2024. Core inflation is generally declining more gradually.
Globally, it is set to decline from an annual average of 6.5 percent in 2022 to 6.0
percent in 2023 and 4.7 percent in 2024. The major forces that shaped the world economy in
2022 seem to continue in 2023 but with changed intensities. Debt levels remain high,
limiting the ability of fiscal policymakers to respond to new challenges. Commodity prices
that rose sharply following Russias invasion of Ukraine have moderated, but the war
continues, and geopolitical tensions are high. Infectious COVID-19 strains caused
widespread outbreaks last year, but economies that were hit hard - most notably China -
appear to be recovering with easing of supply-chain disruptions.
While the Western world becomes the epicentre of global tensions, emerging and
developing economies are expected to outpace them by growing at 3.9% in 2023 and 4.2% in
2024. Emerging Asian economies led by China and India are bound to grow by 5.3% in 2023
and 5.1% in 2024 respectively.
According to the IMF World Economic Outlook- July 2023, in most economies, the priority
remains achieving sustained disinflation while ensuring financial stability. Therefore,
central banks should remain focused on restoring price stability and strengthening
financial supervision and risk monitoring.
Indian Economy and Outlook:
The IMF has estimated Indias growth at 5.9% in FY23 and 6.3% in FY24, well above other
economies of significant scale causing many to state that this could well be Indias
decade. India has emerged as the shining beacon in a grim global scenario by growing at
6.8% in 2022. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has tried to cushion the economy from rising
prices and maintain liquidity. Still navigating inflation and preserving financial
stability while boosting growth drivers will continue to be a tightrope walk. The central
government has played a major role in boosting the growth of the economy as it continued
with its capital expenditure push in the Union Budget 2023-24. In FY 202324, capex is
budgeted at 10 lakh crore, which will constitute 3.3% of GDP. As per the RBI, such level
of capex spending can take Indias real GDP growth close to 7% in FY24. Despite the
challenging global environment, the Indian economy with its strong fundamentals and
massive demographic strengths seems en route to outpace other large economies.
Textile Industry
Global Textile Industry
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.
Indian Textile Industry
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.
In the Union Budget 2023-24, the government announced various initiatives to aid the
Textile and Apparel sector across its value chain from raw materials to manufacturing. The
government has a special focus on Extra-Long Staple (ELS) cotton with the adoption of a
cluster-based and value chain approach through public-private partnerships (PPP). The
focus on enhancing the yield of ELS cotton would help increase the manufacturing of
value-added garments and also to reduce the import of ELS cotton. The government also
identified five new HS codes for cotton for further classification of cotton as per staple
length. This will help in calibrating policy support for the segments which are import
dependent or need further incentivisation. The increased outlay of funds to
textile-centric schemes like RoDTEP, RoSCTL and the Amended Technology Upgradation Fund
Scheme (ATUFS) further underlines the governments focus on textiles. The government has
introduced various schemes such as the Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP) and Mega
Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (MITRA) Park scheme to attract private equity in the
sector. The PM Mitra Park Scheme under which the government plans to invest over 70,000
crore to set up mega textile parks will provide a massive fillip to the textile sector and
will help India transform from only a traditional textile industry to an MMF (man-made
fibre) and technical textile hub in the world. The government recently approved an
investment of 4,455 crore under this scheme for the creation of seven mega textile parks
that would streamline multiple verticals from spinning, weaving and dyeing to printing and
garment manufacturing. The government has come up with several export promotion policies
for the textile sector as well. It has also allowed 100% FDI in the sector under the
automatic route.
The government aims to achieve a 3-5x time increase in the export of technical textiles
worth US$ 10 billion over the next three years. Further, Production-linked Incentive (PLI)
Scheme worth 10,683 crore (US$ 1.44 billion) for manmade fibre and technical textiles
over a five-year period will also help the sector. The capex spending on transportation
and logistics sectors by the government has increased to 10 lakh crore in the recent
budget. This spending which is roughly about 3% of our GDP will have a ripple effect on
multiple industries including the textile sector which could benefit from a smooth and
sustainable infrastructure model. The textiles and apparel sector supported by the
governments structural and productivity-related policy interventions and fuelled by a
rising domestic demand looks well poised to prosper exponentially
OPPORTUNITIES AND GROWTH DRIVERS
• Favourable 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.
• China plus one diversification policy will benefit Indian manufacturers. As
global retailers are looking for an alternate supply base, India has greater appeal as an
attractive option for manufacturing and exports of textiles and apparels.
• The growth of the technical textile market will create lucrative opportunities
• The rapid growth of the retail sector and E-commerce will boost the growth of
the textile and apparel industry.
• Rising disposable income will stimulate domestic demand.
• The growing popularity of the fast fashion products will contribute to the
growth of Textile and Apparel Industry.
Threats
• Intense competition in the global market, especially from the textile and
garment industries in Bangladesh and China.
• Subdued demand for textile and apparel exports as consumer confidence is low in
the key markets.
• Compliance issues with the environmental norms and regulations.

Risk and Concern
Risk is an integral and unavoidable component of all businesses. The broader trends in
the economy are expected to have a direct impact on your Companys growth prospects as
well. Inflation is expected to remain elevated for the foreseeable future, driven by
war-induced commodity price increases and broadening price pressures.
In addition, the anticipated increase in interest rates by Central Banks in the coming
year are also expected to lower growth and exert pressure on economies particularly those
in emerging markets. In these circumstances, the ability to successfully navigate cost
pressures would have a significant bearing on the overall performance of your Company.
Diminishing purchasing power and demand due to the economic circumstances could result in
fundamental shifts in consumer behaviours and adversely impact the market for textiles and
apparel. Migration to value-for-money options could also lead to reduced growth and
profitability for your Company.
