Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh has made new announcements about linen and cotton that could have a big impact on India’s textile sector.
The country plans to scale back on linen fibre imports and focus on domestic production.
India aims to become a bigger linen player, increasing exports and supplying more international demand.
The Minister of Textiles also noted the positive development of Indian consumers embracing cotton blends like cotton-linen and cotton-poly.
Giriraj Singh reassured: “Cotton will never die". Cotton remains a cornerstone of India’s textile industry and cultural heritage.
India’s push toward more linen exports is part of a broader plan to boost value-added textile exports. TRACK COTTON, LINEN AND BLENDED YARN PRICES.
