expected to capture 43% of global textile trade.
» Companies need to concentrate on new product developments.
» Increased use of CAD to develop designing capabilities and for developing greater options.

• In Feb 2021, The Indian Government has announced the setting up of seven mega
textile parks in the next three years. The government has also decided to rationalize
the duties on raw material inputs to manmade textiles by reducing the customs duty
rate on nylon chips, and nylon fiber and yarn to 5 %.
• In Feb 2021, Paraguay’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce announced that it will
be investing USD 1.1 million in the manufacturing sector, mainly benefiting the
clothing, textiles, and footwear industries, among other areas related to assembly
operations.
31. CONCLUSION:
• A huge window of opportunity has opened up for the Indian textile industry which is
fast closing up. Various players need to get act together. It’s now for players to
make investments in building the capacities and making them integrated
manufacturers. They need to invest more in R&D. This is the only way they can
compete with the Chinese dragon.
• Despite the industry grows in the positive trend with the negligible R&D
Expenditure, the Ministry of Textiles may focus on low-cost superior quality textile
products since India is the destination of cheaper cost with superior Quality. The
existing firms should plan in the long-run to enjoy the benefit of market opportunity
by realizing the nearest competitors China whose R&D of the Textile industry is
5.4% average.
