SIMA seeks measures to address issues related to raw materials for textile industry

.. -


September 20, 2024 The Central government should address issues related to raw materials used by the textile industry, said S.K. Sundaraman, chairman of the Southern India Mills Association (SIMA).

In a press release issued by the Association on Tuesday after its annual meeting, the SIMA said the government should come out with a Technology Mission on Cotton (TMC) to increase cotton production and productivity and address the inverted duty structure for manmade fibre (MMF).

The government had announced a special package last cotton season to encourage indigenous seed technology for high density planting of cotton crop, improve agronomy practices, and to promote cultivation of extra long staple cotton. The phase one of trial projects in these areas saw 30% to 60% increase in productivity and phase II trials were progressing.
