To boost global competitiveness, the government has adopted a multi-pronged strategy covering the entire value chain, including high-value segments.
Key initiatives include the approval of seven PM MITRA Parks with an outlay of Rs 4,445 crore to create integrated textile infrastructure and the Production Linked Incentive scheme for textiles worth Rs 10,683 crore to promote man-made fibre apparel, fabrics and technical textiles, the government has informed Parliament on Tuesday.
Additional support is being provided through technology upgradation, skill development programmes and export promotion schemes to strengthen India’s position in the global textile trade.
The Ministry of Textiles has constituted an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Taskforce as a multi-stakeholder platform, including but not limited to industry, labour, and environmental representatives. The objective of the Taskforce is to identify key hotspots in the textile value chain and to support the transition of the textile and apparel industry towards a sustainable and resource-efficient production system. No proposal to establish a separate “National Textile Sustainability Council” has been received.
