India: Textile Ministry plans EPC for Technical Textiles

  

The Ministry of Textiles plans to set up an Export Promotion Council for Technical Textiles. India already has 11 Export Promotion Councils (EPCs) for the textile and apparel industry. Through this EPC, the government now aims to focus on the potential in technical textiles in India.

The global market for these 12 products is estimated to be $11 billion, though India’s export is only $93 million.Hence, there is a huge potential for export of these products in India.
