SRTEPC’s delegation to visit US to promote technical textiles

New Delhi, July 1 (KNN) The Synthetic and Rayon Textiles Export Promotion Council (SRTEPC) is planning to send a delegation to the U.S. soon to promote exports of manmade fibre and technical textiles.

Following the recent visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the U.S., the Council is working on the trip as U.S. is one of the leading export markets for Indian textiles and clothing, according to Council Chairman Bhadresh Dodhia.

“The U.S. is also a source for supply of high-quality raw materials such as speciality yarns, aramid yarns, filter fabrics, etc., required by Indian manufacturers of technical textiles,” he said.

India’s overall exports of manmade yarns and fabrics stood at USD 788 million in FY23, down 10 per cent year-on-year from USD 878.34 million in FY22.

The Synthetic & Rayon Textiles Export Promotion Council, set up in 1954, is one of the oldest Export Promotion Councils in India.  (KNN Bureau)
