“Rather than trying to take away market share of the Chinese, Indian’s should rely on its own strengths like good cotton and its transformation to yarn. Based on this, the Indian textile industry should increase the added-value till the final product and export more finished products rather than raw cotton and yarn”.

“The second part of the strategy is to build capacity in high-value textiles like composites, technical textiles and nonwovens, but which generate lesser number of jobs, compared to traditional textiles. So it would be a mistake to depend only on high value textiles”, he concluded by saying.
