The National Committee on Textiles & Clothing (NCTC) comprising of different players in the VSF value chain said the textile industry has been facing stagnation since many years mainly due to the lack of availability of the basic raw materials of man-made fibre and filament yarn at internationally competitive prices. Unless addressed urgently, it will result in job losses and stoppage of production across VSF textile value chain, the committee said.
