Centre targets $47.5-billion textile exports in 2015-16


27 May 2015

The government has set the textile and clothing export target at $47.5 billion for the current fiscal, aiming for an almost 14% rise in outbound shipments from the actual level of 2014-15.

The country’s overall textile and garment exports grew roughly 5% in the last fiscal to $41.4 billion from a year before, said a textile ministry official. Still, the exports fell short of the official target of $45 billion for 2014-15. Earlier, quick estimates had showed that the exports during the April-February period went up by nearly 2% from a year before. The industry wants certain incentives to capture markets in countries such as Bangladesh, Vietnam and Cambodia.
