PESHAWAR: Salim Saifullah Khan, chairman, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Textile Mills Association (KPTMA), has rejected the value-added textile sector’s demand to allow the import of cotton yarn from India, saying it would be disastrous to the textile spinning industry of Pakistan.
In a statement, he said allowing import of cotton yarn from India, on the one hand, would create a crisis for the spinning industry of Pakistan and lead to mills closure whereas, on the other, it would strengthen the economy and the spinning industry of India.
He said that the plea of the value-added textile sector is not correct that the quality yarn is not available in Pakistan as more than 90 per cent of the yarn produced in Pakistan is available for the value-added sector.
