Resource Calculator A Much Needed Innovation For Textile Industry
In the present day
scenario, as for any other industry, the most pressing need in the textile
industry is to create sustainable solutions that help in the conservation of
resources to the greatest extent possible. A feasible way to ensure that
resources are conserved is to gauge the textile manufacturing process
meticulously and pin-pointing the areas where there is some potential to
initiate savings. Since energy, water and additives are the major components
that go into the manufacturing
of textiles, it
is the saving of these very elements that matter the most. In this regard, the

Textile Industry Welcomes Extension Of Export Benefit
The textile industry of India has been facing a
major blow, one of the worst in its history, pertaining to the slowdown that
hit the global textile and clothing markets in April 2014. Due the termination

an all-time low owing to its tariff barriers, expensive cotton, high fibre
price and the unprecedented delay in the pay-out of the TUF subsidies. Given
the scenario, the industry had long been demanding the extension of additional
incentives through the Merchandise Export from India Scheme (MEIS). The demand
also pressed for a grant of 3% interest with respect to the export of all
textile merchandise, at least till the time that the exports reach their
projected potential growth.
