In the last fiscal year, India's textile and clothing exports to Iran amounted to 108 million US dollars, P.

But Iran should lower tariffs and make India products more competitive, Mr. Nair said.

India's textile industry accounts for about 14% of the total domestic industrial production and 10% of its total exports, and its subsidy amount is about 310-320 billion US dollars.

The industry employs 35 million, second only to agriculture.

According to the statistics of India textile Commissioner's office, in May this year, the output of cotton yarn in India reached 307 thousand tons, an increase of 7.4% over the same period, increasing for thirteenth consecutive months.

< p > Iran exports US $11 billion 500 million to India every year, and India exports to Iran about US $3 billion 300 million.

The official said that the trade deficit between Iran and India was one of the reasons why India textile was particularly concerned about Iran's exports.

As an important export industry in India, the government has taken measures to subsidize textiles. According to the WTO Agreement on subsidies, countries are allowed to provide export subsidies to domestic industries, as long as the industry's share of world trade is less than 3.25%.

But India's textile exports account for 4% of the world's share and have been increasing in the past 5 years.

According to the WTO rules, India needs to cancel its export subsidies to textiles by 2015.

Manickam Ramaswamy, chairman of the P Cotton Textile Export Promotion Association, said that Iran could become an important market for India textile exporters.

When exporters negotiate with Iran in dollar terms, they also win the buyer's consent to use rupee settlement according to the rupee payment mechanism.

"P looks like Iran will be a large market for acrylic yarn and fiber, synthetic fiber and synthetic fiber and jute," said Anil Rajvanshi, vice president of the synthetic and rayon Textile Export Promotion Association.

Since the rupee payment mechanism is a new way of payment, there will be some trouble at the beginning.

But "we must see the potential of the market."

For India exporters, relying on the US and European markets will be very dangerous, so they must find alternative markets. "
