India?s textile machinery industry is no big achiever compared to its European counterparts. But in exports, it is slowly and steadily making an impressive impression in the global markets in its own way, reveals an exclusive ITJ Report.

Most textiles do not require high water and oil repellency, and use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) should be limited to applications for which technical performance is “unique and critical”, according to the European Commission. For other applications, safer alternatives should be used, said the Commission’s Valentina Bertato.

Presently the Indian textile engineering industry is fulfilling only 45-50 per cent requirement of the domestic market of Rs 15,000 crore, while exports about Rs 6,500 crore worth textile machines and accessories.
