Indian textiles minister Smriti Irani recently said that the problems experienced by the domestic textiles sector over the goods and services tax (GST) would be discussed at the ongoing 23rd meeting of the GST council in Guwahati that will end today as feedback had been received from textile industry representatives over the irritants.

Though a few recent steps had offered succour to the sector, their problems would be put before the meeting for redress, a top business daily reported Irani as saying in Lucknow.

As the textiles sector generated most employment in the country after agriculture, the government is fully aware of its importance and interests of small weavers, she said. (DS)
