REF. MR/CIR/2021-22/0091 14 October 2021
To the Members of the Council
Sir/Madam,
Sub: Inputs on Exports to major markets - regarding
We are glad to inform that a virtual meeting to analyze the export trend of the Textile sector for the period of April-September 2021 and discuss the strategy to achieve the textiles exports target, was convened on 14.10.2021 at 11:30 AM under the chairmanship of Shri Amitabh Kumar, Joint Secretary (EP-Textiles Division), Department of Commerce.
As you may be aware, the export target set by the Government for MMF textiles during the 2021-22 is US$ 6139 million and during April-September 2021 around 50% of the export target has been achieved, according to the latest data released by DGCI&S. However, in some of the major markets such as Bangladesh, Turkey, UAE, etc. exports are not doing well which is a serious concern.
In this regard, the Department of Commerce is seeking views/inputs from the exporters to highlight the market-wise specific difficulties being faced by them as per the given below (Annexure – I).
Accordingly, Member-exporters are requested to furnish their views/inputs in the desired format and send us positively by Monday 10th October 2021 through email at baruah@srtepc.in, ed@srtepc.in. Based on the same, the Council will send a consolidated reply to the Department of Commerce as solicited.
Thank you.
Regards,
S. BALARAJU
