‘Levy will lead to higher import of garments, escalate prices’
The Southern India Mills’ Association has sought a rollback of the 10% customs duty on cotton imports announced in the Union Budget, as it would escalate the cost of garments and result in higher import of garments, especially from countries such as Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Ashwin Chandran, chairman of Southern India Mills’ Association, said that India imports mainly extra-long staple (ELS) cotton, organic cotton, contamination-free cotton and sustainable cotton. The production of these varieties is either nil or meagre in India.
The Indian textiles and clothing industry has broadly welcomed the
Union Budget 2021-22 presented by finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Parliament on February 1. Setting up of 7 mega textiles parks under MITRA, and reducing duty on nylon raw materials are welcomed by all trade bodies, while there is a mixed reaction to 10 per cent import duty on cotton.
The grant to the
textiles and clothing sector in Union Budget 2021-22 is ₹3,614.64 crore, which is about 10 per cent higher than the revised budget of ₹3,300 crore in 2020-21. The budget also puts emphasis on Infrastructure Development and Research & Capacity Building as the grant for these sectors has been increased by about 43.7 per cent and 77.5 per cent respectively as compared to last year. Share of these sectors in total textile and apparel budget allocation for 2021-22 stands at about 6 per cent and 10 per cent respectively.
