TEXTILE INDUSTRY SEEKS STABLE & COMPREHENSIVE POLICY

摘要

The textile industry is fully geared to make fresh investments and modernise. But what it seeks from the Centre is a stable policy on the lines of Satyam Committee recommendations (report submitted in 1999), say industry experts. Stating that the last textile policy was released about a decade back and since then, the industry had undergone a sea change, Chairman of the Southern India Mills Association (SIMLA), T Rajkumar, said, "We are seeking a stable and comprehensive policy. We have appealed to the Union Government to review the draft recommendations of the Ajay Shankar committee and announce an integrated textile policy soon and create a level-playing field for all the sectors in a global environment. The new policy should be in line with the present era of development, should not be sectoral, but quite comprehensive," he added.
