The Indian government has launched certain initiatives to boost textile exports on pan-India basis and make textile sector globally competitive. As per a SME Times report, the government has approved the PM Mega Integrated Textiles Region and Apparel Parks (PM MITRA) scheme for setting up of seven PM MITRA Parks in Greenfield/Brownfield sites with an outlay of Rs. 4,445 crore for a period of seven years upto 2027-28. The Scheme would help create a modern, integrated large scale, world class industrial infrastructure including plug and play facilities. These parks will enable the textile industry to become globally competitive, attract large investment and boost employment generation.

The government has also continued the scheme of Rebate of State and central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) effective from March 2019 till 31st March 2024 for exports of apparel / garments and made-ups in order to make the textile sector competitive in international market. Besides, the government has approved the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Textiles, with an approved outlay of Rs 10,683 crore, to promote production of Man-Made Fiber (MMF) Apparel, MMF Fabrics and Products of Technical Textiles in the country to enable Textile sector to achieve size and scale and to become competitive.

To boost exports in Man Made Fibre(MMF) sector, Government has removed anti-dumping duty on PTA (Purified Terephthalic Acid), Viscose Staple Fibre and Acrylics.
