While Bangladesh has compiled data on readymade garment (RMG) order cancellations or postponement, no such data has so far been gathered for the Indian apparel export industry. Hence, management consultancy firm Rajesh Bheda Consulting (RBC) is conducting a survey ‘Measuring impact of the Corona Pandemic on Indian apparel export industry’. The firm has volunteered to capture and collate data on orders postponed or cancelled. It is requesting the members of apparel exporting community to share information about their order status. This will help in creating better understanding of the calamity and communicate to the stakeholders, including buyers, the real impact of such order cancellations or postponement.

The individual survey responses will be kept confidential. Only cumulative and summarised data will be shared so that the members of the industry, government and other stakeholders understand the gravity of the situation.
