Mumbai, Apr 15 (KNN) With a view to giving opportunities to the textile manufacturers to work with different kinds of fabric, the textile committee is keen to purchase high end fabric such as 'Taffeta' as well as printed and woven designer labels.

Taffeta is a crisp, smooth, plain woven fabric made from silk or cuprammonium rayons. The word is Persian in origin and means "twisted woven." It is considered to be a "high-end" fabric, suitable for use in ball gowns, wedding dresses, and interiors for curtains or wall covering.

In this context, the Director, Textiles Committee seeks bonafide manufacturers or an authorized agent for the supply of printed taffeta and printed and woven designer labels to Textiles Committee for a period of two years.

The Indian Textiles Industry has an overwhelming presence in the economic life of the country. Apart from providing one of the basic necessities of life, the textiles industry also plays a vital role through its contribution to industrial output, employment generation, and the export earnings of the country.

The sector contributes about 14 per cent to industrial production; 4 per cent to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP); 17 per cent to export earnings.

It is the second largest provider of employment after agriculture and provides direct employment to over 35 million people. Thus, the growth and all round development of this industry has a direct bearing on the improvement of the economy of the nation. (KNN/SD)
