centuries-old knowledge, craft & techniques to create timeless fabrics. The
level of artistry and intricacy is unparalleled.

Textile Ministry is working closely with MOF to resolve the issue of old dues

upon the Industry to aim to increase textiles exports 3 times from
present export value of $33 bn at the earliest and enhance domestic
production to $ 250 bn as well in a very quick time.
Goyal asked the industry
leaders to handhold small exporters and guide them.
The Minister said that the
Launch of Indian brand “Kasturi Cottonâ€Â
with international fibre quality, has opened great new opportunities for
Textile Industry to expand business opportunities.
Goyal further stated that he
personally has been interacting with different nations to expedite
FTAs/PTAs (UK, EU, Australia etc.). It will provide new avenues to build a
loyal customer base.
