1. Conference on “Strategy for Making India a Global Leader in Textiles and Apparels” 7 th April 2015 Stimulating Investments in MMF and Fabrics

2. Indian Textile Industry Market Size : $110 billion ◦ Domestic Consumption : $70 billion ◦ Exports: $40 billion Contribution of the Industry ◦ 14% of the industrial production ◦ 6% of the country’s GDP ◦ 13% of export earnings ◦ 35 million-strong workforce- 2 nd largest employer after agriculture The National Textile & Apparel Vision document envisions a target of $650 billion by 2025 (domestic $350 billion and export $300 billion), from the current $110 billion. ◦ This requires investment of around $180-200 billion and is expected to create 35 million additional jobs

3. Indian Textile Industry Indian textile industry is cotton based. In contrast globally, MMF enjoys bigger share as shown below. Fibre Consumption Pattern Profile (in %) Non - Cotton Cotton World Non - Cotton Cotton India

4. China- the World Leader China- industry size of $532 Billion; exports of $260 Billion cornering 36% of the global textile trade. MMF forms a staggering 80% of the total exports China Exports MMF Exports Other Exports India Exports MMF Exports Other Exports

5. OPPORTUNITIES- China Factor China is expected to vacate nearly $100 billion of global trade space over the next 5-6 years due to: ◦ Rising labour costs, appreciating currency, energy costs and focus on domestic market ◦ Countries including India, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka potential gainers Cotton consumption is expected to fall from the current 40% of the global fiber consumption, to nearly 25%. To reach the target of $650 billion with exports of $300, quantity of textile fiber needs to be increased multifold

6. OPPORTUNITIES In India, Cotton consumption represents around 60% of the total fiber consumption However, due to some factors, such as frequent fluctuation in cotton prices and push by global brands towards polyester filament, MMF is gaining momentum. India accounts for less than 0.5% of the global trade of MMF fibres-based textile and apparel products which indicate huge opportunity ◦ In domestic market too, preference for apparel made from MMF, is fast changing, in the ladies wear, active wear, kids wear and uniforms, automotive furnishings, protective and medical applications, etc. ◦ This is expected to boost demand for fiber to around 19 million tons by 2025

8. Fibre Mix Needs to Change Dramatically Volume: 10 Bn kg; Value: $110 Bn Volume: 20 Bn kg; Value: $220 Bn Even with conservative growth estimates fibre dynamics have to change dramatically Even with conservative growth estimates fibre dynamics have to change dramatically Availability of cotton in India with a global best yield of 750 kg/ha will take Indian cotton production to ~8 Billion kg. Availability of cotton in India with a global best yield of 750 kg/ha will take Indian cotton production to ~8 Billion kg.

9. REQUISITES This requires increased investment and MMF production from about 4.3 billion kg to 11.8 billion kg ◦ This implies increasing the consumption of MMF from the present 40% to 60% of total consumption This target is achievable if provided right fiscal policies to encourage investment in the sector ◦ Past experience shows reduction in MMF duty results in increasing the demand for the same thereby neutralizing the impact on revenue

10. Key Proposals An intermediate Excise Duty regime of 6% for MMF and Yarns ◦ The present duty of 12% should be reduced to 6% on MMF Certain excise duty on cotton with entire textiles chain under CENVAT Duty Rationalisation needed to treat MMF gradually at par with cotton. The growth in revenue collection will be in the range of Rs 8000-10000 crores.

11. Scenario 1- Only Cotton Yarn Under Excise Assumptions Excise duty was calculated based on production. Imports and exports are not considered in this calculation as any excise duty collected in export will be refunded as duty drawback The volume of cotton fabric has been assumed based on 25% of cotton yarn is exported out of the country Garment volume has been assumed based apparel market size of USD 40 Billion Scenario 1-ExistingScenario II (Current excise rate) ( Excise rate @ 2-6% -Cotton Yarn included) Excise Duty Rates Naptha14% PX6% PTA12%6% MEG12%6% ACN-12%6% PSF12%6% VSF12%6% Asf12%6% Polyester Filament Yarn12%6% VFY12%6% 100 % Non Cotton Yarn0%6% PV Yarn0%2% PC Yarn0%2% Cotton Yarn0%2% Cotton Fabric0% Blended Fabric0% 100% non cotton0% Garment0% Excise collection (Rs-Crs)77448214

13. Proposals (contd.) Customs duty on Catalysts and Chemicals used for manufacture of synthetic fibers/fabrics should be on par with raw materials. Customs duty structure should be a cascading structure, i.e. the duty differential should be progressive at each stage of value chain. To encourage the domestic industry, following model is proposed:
