EDITORIAL '' There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same''

What the organisations of the industry look out for the forthcoming Budget?

By the time this issue falls in the hands of readers, the pre-Budget season must have come to and end.

Although all stakeholders are now thirsty of the Budget, analysts, whether in the field or finance or textiles and our readers must be keenly interested to know the demands made by various organizations of the textile industry. The pre-Budget demands do help analysts to appreciate provisions made in the Budget. Hence, Textile Value Chain has decided to present in a comprehensive manner Pre-Budget Memoranda of leading textile organizations, whom we profusely thank for their co-operation and support.

A host of textile industry organisations have pleaded for reduction in excise duty on man-made fibres to 6% from 12%. To bring about revenue neutrality, on reducing excise duty on man-made fibres to 6%, some organisation have recommended a mandatory duty of 2% on fibre forward chain including cotton yarn, cotton fabrics, etc along with man-made fibre textiles.

Really speaking, there is no justification for imposing higher excise duty on MMF and MMF textiles, particularly when it is a tenet of the principles of taxation that the government should not promote or discourage consumption of same or similar products. st However, once the GST is introduced from 1 April, 2016, there will be the same rate of duty on Cotton and MMF streams of production.

zero duty to super-high-speed shuttleless looms. This may be found irksome by the textile industry.

The textile industry looks forward to zero customs-duty regime for all Textile Machinery other than ring frames.

If the textile industry is to emerge as the winner in the international race for textiles and garments, it must be encouraged to install state-of-the-art machinery and for this purpose, zero duty window must be opened.

To encourage the textile manufacturers to diversity into the manufacture of weaving and processing machinery, government could consider other avenues, like soft loans, liberal TUFS support, assured supply of power at concessional rate etc .

TVC Monthly Issue From Now ... !

With the encouragement, support and appreciation received from our subscribers, advertisers, wellwishers and authors of articles, we are glad to announce that with effect from January 2015, our magazine will be published every month, instead of quarterly as at present.

We are planning to introduce several new features in the monthly format for the benefit of our readers, and look forward to receiving the support of all of you with greater zeal.

Like all segments of the industry, Textile Machinery Manufacturers are also keen to guard their turf. One recommendation of theirs is to restrict the benefit of

However, even if Pakistan likely to gain from the preferential treatments, the factors like infrastructural bottle necks like scares power and gas supply, lack of quality manpower may create constraints for Pakistan to fully capitalise the preferential arrangements offered by EU.

Similarly, Bangladesh has been enjoying comparative advantage in most of the apparel exports to EU. The availability of cheap labour is an added advantage to Bangladesh.

Hence Pakistan will able to enhance its market share in most of this products of Ch 63 and few products of apparels and cotton yarns due to the implementation of the GSP Plus schemes. Further, the GSP plus advantages be perceived to be accruing to Pakistan are also likely to trigger strong defensive action from textiles lobbies with the EU (i.e.

Italy, Portugal and Greece in Textiles, Romania in clothing) and offensive actions may be initiated by the main non-EU competitors of Pakistan (i.e. Bangladesh, China, India, etc.)

Conclusion: In synthesis, the extension of the EUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GSP + preferences to Pakistan will certainly boost its competitiveness, but ultimate success in accessing the EU market in greater

The level of technology and quality of Indian textile machinery has been improving steadily. In case of spinning, India is at par with international technology levels. Though in weaving and processing India has a long way to go, here too there has been a lot of improvement witnessed in the recent decade.

With correct government support and policies in place, India has potential to be a manufacturing hub of textile machinery, parts, components and accessories and match the demand of the Indian textile industry for high tech machinery.

The scope and opportunity in Indian market is unfathomable with only a small portion of the potential tapped till now.

World-renowned manufacturers of textile machinery have strong presence in India, indicating a strong buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market and long term opportunity in urban as well as regional markets in the country. Thus, modern machinery and equipments are in high demand in all segments of textile industry in India making it an excellent market for textile engineering companies. Price competitive products are in high demand especially in rural markets of India.
