TN readymade garment exporters' profit may rise by 8-10% in FY25: CRISIL

Readymade garment exporters from Tamil Nadu are likely to see 8-10 per cent growth in revenue to Rs 43,000 crore in this financial year on healthy order flow amid rising demand conditions, a report said on Friday. The industry has seen signs of recovery in Tamil Nadu after two years of subdued demand and muted realisations and is expected to fare better than the national level where revenue growth is expected to be 3-5 per cent this fiscal. Operating profitability will improve 25-30 basis points (bps) on better operating leverage, marginal increase in realisations and stable yarn prices, Crisil Ratings said in a report. "Tamil Nadu readymade garment industry, which accounts for over 30 per cent of readymade garment exports from India, will see volume grow 6-7 per cent in the current fiscal. Growth will be driven by the Tirupur region, the knitwear hub of India, supported by improving demand from the US and Europe. "The government's plan to review the Production-Linked Incentive (PL

Bangladesh garment industry faces crisis amid political unrest, floods

Bangladesh's garment industry, a vital economic pillar, is facing a severe crisis due to a volatile mix of political unrest, including violent protests, and catastrophic flooding, threatening to unravel years of rapid growth and global prominence. The textile and garment industry, which accounts for over 80 per cent of Bangladesh's total export earnings and contributes approximately 11 per cent to the nation's GDP, has been hit hard. This industry contributes significantly to export earnings and employs millions. Following the unprecedented anti-government protests, which reached a crescendo on August 5, Sheikh Hasina resigned as prime minister and fled the country. She landed in India on August 5 and is currently staying there. The two-month-long anti-quota protests have led to widespread demonstrations, curfews, and violence. This unrest has not only disrupted factory operations but has also caused significant economic losses. Factories were forced to close, and with the peak se

Govt to give focused attention to promote textiles' exports, says secy

The government will accord focused attention to promote India's textiles exports, which declined for the second year in a row in 2023-24, Textiles Secretary Rachna Shah said. The government has set an ambitious target to achieve USD 100 billion export for textile products by 2030. The cumulative exports of textiles and apparel from India during April 2023-March 2024 registered a de-growth of 3.24 per cent at USD 34.4 billion, as compared to USD 35.5 billion in April 2022-March 2023. In 2021-22, outward shipments of textiles and apparel were recorded at over USD 41 billion. "We had challenges like the Red Sea crisis making it slightly more challenging," Shah said on the decline in India's textiles exports in 2023-24. Although geo-political challenges remain, the textiles secretary said some exporters have reported improvement in their order books in the first quarter and the shipments are likely to improve in the coming months. "We will be looking at more focused attention on prod

Ludhiana's hosiery players bear losses due to weak demand, lack of orders

Ludhiana's famous hosiery sector is staring at losses because of weak demand for winter garments this season, as many manufacturers say they faced lack of repeat orders as well as return of stocks from traders in many states. Hosiery goods manufacturers also blame dumping of China-made winter wear items, available at much lower prices, for adding to their woes. However, bone-chilling cold wave weather conditions prevailing in the northern region have given some sort of relief as they anticipate a pick up in demand which may lead to clearance of stocks. Ludhiana hosiery sector, which is one of the oldest industry verticals, is famous for winter garments like sweaters, jackets, thermals, cardigans, pullovers, innerwear, shawls etc. Several states like Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Bihar and Haryana are among key markets for the hosiery sector. The industry representatives said they started offering discounts to wholesalers in December when the deman
