Garment exporters seek Govt support, tax holidays

摘要

As the knitwear hub grapples with a slowdown in demand from the export market, the stakeholders reiterate that they would be able to regain their place if the Government extends support to the employment-intensive garment sector.rnKnitwear exporters from Tirupur had set a target of Rs 25,000 crore for 2012 when exports had crossed the Rs 11,000-crore mark in 2006-07. However, the growth progress took a hit when the rupee appreciated against the dollar in 2007-08. The global meltdown in 2008-09 further aggravated the situation.
