Why the Textile Sector is Thriving

India is not only the world's largest producer of cotton but also a key exporter of textile products. By 2029, the Indian textiles market is projected to surpass US$ 209 billion. During the crop year from October 2021 to September 2022, India produced 360.13 lakh bales of cotton. Despite global challenges, the country’s textile exports grew by 9% in FY21, highlighting the industry's resilience.

As a business in the textile industry, now is the perfect time to expand into international markets. BizMantra can help you obtain the Textile Export Promotion Council License (TEXPROCIL), ensuring you benefit from this massive opportunity.

What is the Textile Export Promotion Council (TEXPROCIL)?

The Textile Export Promotion Council (TEXPROCIL) is an organization established by the Government of India to support Indian textile exporters, including apparel exporters. As a registrant under the Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC), you’ll gain access to international markets and participate in initiatives to promote Indian textile products globally. The TEXPROCIL license allows exporters to leverage government programs designed to boost exports.

Merchandise Exports from India (MEIS) SchemeThe MEIS offers duty rewards to eligible textile categories, providing exporters with incentives of 2–5% on the Free on Board (FOB) value of exports. This is designed to encourage textile exports to target markets.

 

Duty Drawback SchemeUnder the Duty Drawback Scheme, exporters receive refunds on customs duties paid on imported raw materials or machinery used for textile production. This refund applies when textiles are exported or used in the manufacture of exportable textile products.

 

Market Access Initiative (MAI) SchemeThe MAI Scheme supports long-term export promotion by assisting exporters, institutions, and trade organizations in entering new markets or expanding their presence in existing ones. It includes funding for trade fairs, market surveys, and more.
