Cotton fabric exports likely to rise by 10% this year

22 Jul 2015 Evaluate

India’s cotton fabric exports are expected to rise at least 10% this year because of inclusion of the fabric in the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS). Products notified under MEIS for any specific market are eligible for reward on the free-on-board (FOB) value. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) announced inclusion of cotton fabrics into MEIS for exports to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, which would offer export incentives of 2%, last week. Currently, more than 4,000 items are included in MEIS.

R K Dalmia, Chairman, The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council (TEXPROCIL) and senior president, Century Textiles said that Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are two major destinations for India’s cotton fabrics, which get converted into garments and are then exported to Europe and the United States. Due to the lack of conversion value, cotton fabrics are not exported from India directly to Europe and United States. So, inclusion of cotton fabric into MEIS would increase India’s competitiveness in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka with respect to other countries including China, which will ultimately help increase India’s fabric exports at least by 10%.

Cotton fabric exports to these two destinations took a hit between January and April this year because of unavailability of incentive schemes. Shipments to Bangladesh grew by a marginal 2% to $156.39 million during January - April 2015. By contrast, cotton fabric exports to Sri Lanka dipped by 3.73% to $76.95 million January - April period this year as against $79.93 million in the same period last year.
