Manufacturers in the garment industry fear the problem of dead inventory due to order cancellations and contemplate the reduction of workforce. More than 20% believe the industry will begin to recover only in 2022.

The Clothing Manufacturers Association (CMAI) of India has urged the Centre to reduce GST on all readymade garments to 5 per cent from 12 per cent and retain the same on all types of cotton yarn, synthetic yarn, fabrics and made-ups.

Indian apparel businesses could face up to 40 per cent loss of revenue and many smaller players are contemplating closure.
