Pre Budget-Memorandum 2025-25 for Indian Textile & Apparel Industry: CITI

Ensure availability of Raw Materials at international competitive prices
Indian domestic raw material prices are significantly higher than international prices. While competitors like Bangladesh, and Vietnam have free access to such raw materials, India has imposed QCO on MMF fibre/yarn which is acting as a Non-Tariff Barrier on the imports of such raw materials and thus affecting their free flow. It has resulted in a shortage of some specialized fibre/yarn varieties as also impacted domestic prices.
