The Indian Commerce and Industry Ministry has issued a separate HS code for khadi to categorise its products in export and segregate those from routine products.

The Indian Textiles Ministry has received 56 proposals during the last three to four years from Chhattisgarh Government under the National Handloom Development Programme (NHDP) out of which 51 were approved with a projected cost of Rs 17 million.

The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has sent a legal notice to Fab India, a chain of ethnic wear retail outlets, demanding a whopping Rs 525 crore in damages for “illegally” using its trademark “charkha” and selling apparels with the ‘khadi’ tag.

Aiming to scale up employment at rural locations and push up the khadi and village industries products from the villages, the Khadi & Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has initiated a project named Khadi Gaon (Khadi Village).
