VERTICAL INTEGRATION :

India's textile industry is truly vertically integrated from raw material to finished product, including fiber production, spinning, knitting and weaving, and apparel manufacture. Business and cultural linkages with neighboring countries Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, Thailand, Myanmar, PR China provide a platform for sourcing from them as well.


PRODUCTION VARIETY :

Raw material production includes cotton, silk, wool, linen and manmade fibers such as polyester, viscose, acrylic, and polypropylene. Indian companies have built global scale even in non-traditional areas.

Fabric production includes fine dress fabrics, shirting, fabrics for trousers/shorts worsted suiting , denim, fleece, jersey, flat/woolen knits, technical fabrics, and more. Apparel production includes active sportswear, outerwear, foundation garments, suits, socks, infantwear etc. Production of made-ups includes a wide variety of bed, bath, and table linens, kitchen accessories etc.


LABOR FORCE :

India's textile and apparel industry directly and indirectly employs 35 million people. The country has an abundant, low-cost base of labor which has long-term sustainability and very high skill in fabric-and garment making.


CAPACITY :

 India's industry has consistently remained flexible in terms of production quantity and lead time and thus presents the possibility of producing quantities as low as a few hundred pieces. A large base of European and American customers are already served from India, with almost 35% of apparel exports headed to EU.


OPERATING ENVIRONMENT :

The textile and apparel industry is an important one to India, contributing 1.6% of industrial production and 30 % of total exports. Import duties on capital equipment are low (the majority of the capital equipment used by the apparel industry, like sewing machines, can be imported at 5% basic customs duty), fabrics can be imported duty-free if made up into garments and re-exported, and import duties on fabrics and other raw materials are duty free for export production. The apparel industry can import duty free specified trimmings and embellishments like Fasteners, Rivets, Garment Stay, Laces, Badges, Sewing Thread, Sequin, Tape & others for export production. India has a structured, multi-tiered administrative, political and legal system that would be familiar in nature to European and American investors.

The Indian garment exporters have given main emphasis on new fabrics and presentations like Romantic line meant for top designer, which is not available in budget stores. There is an introduction of new fabrics like poly satin, viscose, ply chiffon, heavier georgette, tie and dye fabrics, chifley fabrics, embroidery and hand knitted garments.

The exporters have chosen to revisit the prints and have taken those floral prints where flowers of other countries have taken place in place of Indian flowers.

The exporters have been using various kinds of washes like natural wash, vintage wash and laser wash to give a new look to the garments. Hippie/frills and lot of sparkling bead works have also been demonstrated. Geometric designs have also been projected as per the new fashion trends. Some exhibitors have made their collection by using lycra and have presented with different kinds of embroidery to reach high fashion community.

The uniqueness of Indian garment exports is quick turn-around time, factory compliance, factory personally looked after by Presidents/CEOs of the company and undertaking even small size orders.

The handicrafts industry is one of the largest employers of economically weaker sections of the society in the interiors of the country and also one of the largest foreign exchange earners. The handicrafts sector has tremendous potential in the world market. Export of handicrafts in 2004-05 crossed Rs.130327.000 Millions that is 2.9 billion US dollars registering growth of 24.53% in rupee term and 29.07% in dollar term. The growth in the current year is also impressive witnessing achievement of 16.01% in the month of September 2005 in dollar terms. The world trade in handicrafts is of the order of US $ 235 billion but India’s share in the same is only 1.6%. and most of the buyers are from countries like USA, Germany, UK, France, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, Israel, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa
