LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

Business dealings are permissible. The subject is doing the business since 2002 under the name of “Rama Creations”.

 

Mr. Ratneshwar Jha, Managing Partner is looking after exports activities and Mrs. Mamta Jha is looking after production activities. The subject is exporting their products on the selling terms of LC at sight for new customers and LC 60 days for existing customers.

 

The textile industry occupies a unique place in their country. One of the earliest to come into existence in India, it accounts for 14% of the total Industrial production, contributes to nearly 30% of the total exports and is the second largest employment generator after agriculture. Although the development of textile sector was earlier taking place in terms of general policies, in recognition of the importance of this sector, for the first time a separate Policy Statement was made in 1985 in regard to development of textile sector. The textile policy of 2000 aims at achieving the target of textile and apparel exports of US $ 50 billion by 2010 of which the share of garments will be US $ 25 billion. The main markets for Indian textiles and apparels are USA, UAE, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Canada, Bangladesh and Japan.


The main objective of the textile policy 2000 is to provide cloth of acceptable quality at reasonable prices for the vast majority of the population of the country, to increasingly contribute to the provision of sustainable employment and the economic growth of the nation; and to compete with confidence for an increasing share of the global market.

 

Developing countries with both textile and clothing capacity may be able to prosper in the new competitive environment after the textile quota regime of quantitative import restrictions under the multi-fibre arrangement (MFA) came to an end on 1st January, 2005 under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Agreement on Textiles and Clothing.


As a result, the textile industry in developed countries will face intensified competition in both their export and domestic markets. However, the migration of textile capacity will be influenced by objective competitive factors and will be hampered by the presence of distorting domestic measures and weak domestic infrastructure in several developing and least developed countries.

 

The elimination of quota restriction will open the way for the most competitive developing countries to develop stronger clusters of textile expertise, enabling them to handle all stages of the production chain from growing natural fibres to producing finished clothing.

 

The textile industry is undergoing a major reorientation towards non-clothing applications of textiles, known as technical textiles, which are growing roughly at twice rate of textiles for clothing applications and now account for more than half of total textile production. The processes involved in producing technical textiles require expensive equipments and skilled workers and are, for the moment, concentrated in developed countries. Technical textiles have many applications including bed sheets; filtration and abrasive materials; furniture and healthcare upholstery; thermal protection and blood-absorbing materials; seatbelts; adhesive tape, and multiple other specialized products and applications. India must take adequate measures for capturing its market by promoting research and development in this sector.


The mood in the Indian textile industry given the phase-out of the quota regime of the multi-fibre arrangement (MFA) is upbeat with new investment flowing in and increased orders for the industry as a result of which capacities are fully booked up to April 2005. As a result of various initiatives taken by the government, there has been new investment of Rs. 500000 millions in the textile industry in the last five years. Nine textile majors invested Rs. 26000 millions and plan to invest another Rs. 64000 millions. Further, India's cotton production increased by 57% over the last five years; and 3 million additional spindles and 30,000 shuttle-less looms were installed. The industry expects investment of Rs.1400000 millions in this sector in the post-MFA phase. A Vision 2010 for textiles formulated by the government after intensive interaction with the industry and Export Promotion Councils to capitalise on the upbeat mood aims to increase India's share in world's textile trade from the current 4% to 8% by 2010 and to achieve export value of US $ 50 billion by 2010 Vision 2010 for textiles envisages growth in Indian textile economy from the current US $ 37 billion to $ 85 billion by 2010; creation of 12 million new jobs in the textile sector; and modernisation and consolidation for creating a globally competitive textile industry.

 

There will be opportunities as well as challenges for the Indian textile industry in the post-MFA era. But India has natural advantages which can be capitalised on strong raw material base - cotton, man-made fibres, jute, silk; large production capacity (spinning - 21% of world capacity and weaving - 33% of world capacity but of low technology); vast pool of skilled manpower; entrepreneurship; flexibility in production process; and long experience with US/EU (European Union). At the same time, there are constraints relating to fragmented industry, constraints of processing, quality of cotton, concerns over power cost, labour reforms and other infrastructural constraints and bottlenecks. E.g., cost of power was Rs. 8 per garment in India whereas in China it was only Rs. 2 per garment.


Further, for the benefit of exporters, there should be a state-owned cargo shipping mechanism. Several initiatives have already been taken by the government to overcome some of these concerns including rationalisation of fiscal duties; technology upgradation through the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS); setting up of Apparel Parks; and liberalisation of restrictive regulatory practices.

 

India is presently exporting six billion U.S. Dollars worth of garments, whereas with the WTO regime in place, they can increase the production and export of garments to 18 to 20 billion U.S. Dollars within the next five years. This will enable generation of employment in general and in rural areas in particular. By tripling the export of apparels, they can add more than 5 million direct jobs and 7 million indirect jobs in the allied sector, primarily in the cultivation of cotton. Concerted efforts are needed in cotton research, technology generation, transfer of technology, modernisation and upgrading of ginning and pressing factories and an aggressive marketing strategy.
