Garment Exports Rise Despite Global Qualms

New Delhi: India’s readymade garment exports rose 11.4 per cent to USD 9.85 billion during April-November this fiscal despite global uncertainties, signalling robust global demand for Made-in-India products, AEPC said on Tuesday. The Apparel Exports Promotion Council (AEPC) said that with the changing geopolitical equa-tions, a lot more business will shift to India in the near future. AEPC Chairman Sudhir Sekhri said: “With India’s inherent strengths and strong supportive policy framework by the Centre and states, India is all poised to reap its benefits.

With end-to-end value chain capability, a strong raw material base and factories focusing on sus-tainable responsible business practices, India will surely see substantial growth in times to come”.

The growth also reflects the growing trust of global brands for Made-in-India products, especial-ly considering the uptick in the festive season demand. The chairman appealed to international buyers to visit India and participate in Bharat Tex Expo 2025, a big platform to see India’s entire textiles value chain under one roof.

“We have been to various countries during the Bharat Tex Roadshow and have received phenom-enal responses from international buyers and retail chains.”
