Garment manufacturing companies across India have warned that if the central government issues a notification limiting cotton exports in a way that does not align with the needs of the textile industry, they will halt production for one day. This potential shutdown comes as a strong message from the sector to the government, highlighting the critical role of cotton in their operations.
The Tirupur Exporters Association (TEA) has confirmed that the exact date of the production suspension will be announced later, depending on the central government's response to their demands. The TEA and other major textile groups, including several key associations, recently held a meeting to discuss the issue. They collectively urged the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Textiles to impose restrictions on cotton exports, arguing that current policies are harming the domestic textile sector.
Prior to this, the Ministry of Commerce had announced that cotton exports would resume from October 1st. However, the textile industry feels that this decision is premature and could lead to a shortage of raw materials, affecting both domestic and international supply chains.
During the meeting, it was also decided that if the government fails to fully implement the recommendations of the textile industry, the sector would consider more drastic actions, including a complete shutdown of operations.
In response, the Executive Committee of the Tirupur Exporters Association met on Monday to further discuss the matter. They reached a consensus to call for a one-day shutdown of the apparel industry, urging all garment manufacturers nationwide to participate. The committee also engaged in discussions with the Garment Export Promotion Council and other industry bodies to coordinate a unified response.
This coordinated action reflects the growing frustration within the textile sector over the lack of clear policy direction and the need for greater collaboration between the government and industry stakeholders to ensure sustainable growth.
