* OVERVIEW OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY AND EXPORTS

The Textile industry is one of the largest and most important sectors in the Indian economy in terms of output, foreign exchange earnings and employment. India''s Textile industry is one of the leading textile industries in the world. It contributes approximately 14% to India''s industrial production, 4% to the GDP and 17% to the country''s export earnings. It provides direct employment to over 35 million people and is the second largest provider of employment after the agricultural sector.

Textiles sector of India did remarkably well in an otherwise dull exports scenario in year 2013-14. Textile exports were worth $30.37 billion in year 2013-14, up from $26.36 billion in the previous year - a growth of 15.24 per cent, compared to a decline of 3.11 per cent in year 2012-13. All major segments in the sector grew at a healthy rate. Readymade garments, which accounts for nearly half of all textile exports at $14.93 billion, grew 15.53 per cent. Cotton yarn and fabrics grew 18 per cent to $8.88 billion, while manmade textiles grew nearly 13 per cent to $5.69 billion. The industry is expected to grow at a significant rate in the future, as it is fuelled by a strong domestic consumption. The textile industry is expected to reach USD 223 billion by 2021.

During the year under review, the overall business and economic environment in India and other emerging countries remained challenging. The GDP growth rate dipped below 5%, amongst the lowest levels in a decade. The year witnessed several volatile events like significant depreciation of the rupee, burgeoning current account deficit, weakening and uncertain demand, elevated inflation and interest rates; all of which lead to declining business confidence. However, your company achieved a growth of 15.55% in total income from operations despite the continued headwinds.

The erstwhile Government initiated some steps to kick start manufacturing growth with reduction in excise duty on automobiles, high priority for faster clearance of projects etc. Steps were also taken to rein in the current account deficit by increasing import duty on Gold. But except some respite, there was no significant pick up in the pace of growth.

The Lok Sabha elections in May 2014 were a much awaited event and the country voted decisively in favor of National Democratic Alliance underscoring the wants and hopes of a nation for good governance and a growth oriented policy framework. There is a sense of optimism across the country and the newly formed government has the responsibility to deliver on its promise of stimulating growth.

A revival in economic sentiment driven by increase in manufacturing output along with job creation and an easing inflationary environment would be crucial for supporting and sustaining growth in discretionary consumer spending.

The apparel industry is amongst the oldest and the largest industries in India. The trend from stitched garments to ready to wear and from unbranded to branded apparel is well established and growing. Viewed from the retailing space the apparel market is the second largest category after food and groceries.

# OVERVIEW OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY AND EXPORTS

The Indian Textile Industry is one of the leading textile industries in the world. The textiles and apparels sector is a major contributor to the Indian economy in terms of gross domestic product (GDP), industrial production and the countrys total export earnings. India earns about 27 per cent of its total foreign ^exchange through textile exports. Besides, the Indian Textile industry contributes 14 per cent of the total industrial production of the Country. This sector provides employment to over 35 million people and it is expected that the textile industry will generate new jobs during the ensuing years. **

The industry went through a challenging year 2009-10, with the global meltdown ravaging economies. The collapse in consumer sentiments, weak exports, noteworthy drop in discretionary spending in textiles/apparels and down trading by the consumers put immense pressure on both the top-line and the bottom-line of textile companies. After the close of financial year 2009-10, the World economy has shown initial indications of recovery after a severe spell of recession. The world economy is expected to grow by 4.2 percent in 2010 and projected to maintain the growth momentum in the next 5 years. However, the consumer confidence in major importing countries like USA and EU has been lagging behind economic growth projections and may take some more time before showing any convincing revival. Though some growth has been seen in the world trade of textile and clothing especially post Sept. 2009. The USA textile and clothing imports, which declined by 13 percent in 2009 over 2008 has been on increase since last some months. The partial explanation of increase in textile and clothing imports may be attributed to the pressure on retailers caused by very low inventory levels. It has resulted into creation of demand for textile and clothing products in international market. The domestic market is also showing some signs of improvement leading to overall increase in textile manufacturing in the country. The industry has attracted investment to the tune of Rs. 2 lacs crore under TUF for capacity expansion and modernization, which has started paying yield.

Future Outlook for Indian Textile Industry and Exports

The global economy is showing signs of a turnaround with Asian economies experiencing a relatively stronger rebound. The global economic performance improved during the latter half of the calendar year 2009, prompting the IMF to reduce the projected rate of economic contraction in 2009 from 1.1 per cent to 0.8 per cent in January 2010. Consequently, the IMF also revised the projection of global growth for 2010 from 3.1 per cent to 3.9 per cent. However, significant risks remain: (1) in many economies, the recovery is largely driven by government spending whilst consumer sentiments remain fragile; (2) high levels of global liquidity have led to steep increases in commodity prices; (3) emerging markets are likely to face increased inflationary pressures and (4) developed economies are facing large budget deficits. There are concerns that the global recovery phase may be fragile, as economies of developed countries, particularly USA and Europe, continue to be beset with the problems of high unemployment, low consumer spending and depressed housing markets. Besides, the recent crisis in Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Greece indicate that there would be many pitfalls along the road to recovery and that normalcy is still some time away. Indias growth-inflation dynamics are in contrast to the overall global scenario. The Indian Textile Industry is recovering steadily from the growth slowdown, but inflationary pressures, triggered by the supply side factors, have developed into a wider inflationary cycle. Although the growth momentum of the Indian textile industry was substantially impacted with the onset of the global economic slowdown, the severity of the impact was considerably less when compared to most developed economies. The fiscal and monetary policies implemented by the Government of India helped the economy to weather the downturn phase. The outlook of the Indian economy turned positive towards the end of 2009, driven by the uptrend in industrial production and recuperating consumption and investment demand. The Reserve Bank of India has projected the final real GDP growth for 2009-10 in the range of 7.2 per cent to 7.5 per cent with a forecast of 8.0 per cent for 2010-11. In view of these factors, the future for the Indian Textile Industry seems to be quite satisfactory.
