Seeing Is Believing: India's Textile And Garment Factories Are More Advanced Than They Think.

India's textile industry is mainly concentrated in the industrial center of Mumbai. Mumbai's position in India is equivalent to that of Shanghai, which was in the early stage of reform and opening up. In the British colonial period, the textile industry has a relatively good foundation. In recent years, the textile industry has been greatly developed through large-scale transformation. The development of the textile industry in Mumbai has benefited from its industrial concentration and relatively developed economy. Many India financial institutions have their headquarters in the Southern District of Mumbai, and many foreign banks and financial institutions have set up branches in the region.

The area has obvious advantages, convenient transportation, next to the Arabia sea and Mumbai Bay. It is a natural harbor with good shelter from wind. The railway network and highway network are interlaced densely, and there are international shipping and aviation lines. Mumbai is located on the west coast of India, with numerous rivers and lakes, and many alluvial plains around it. Suitable climate, moderate humidity, warm air, suitable for cotton and linen growth. The population of the Mumbai metropolitan area, which includes the neighboring suburbs, is about 25 million, with abundant labor force.

　　 India city is known for its "dirty, messy and poor". Even in the capital city of New Delhi, its appearance and environment is far inferior to that of prefecture level cities in China, and even worse than those of counties and cities with better hygienic conditions. However, we can not think that India's efforts in environmental protection are not as good as ours. From the recent collection of information, the environmental pressure imposed by the India government on textile dyeing and printing industry is also large enough, which is mainly reflected in the requirements for printing and dyeing water and wastewater treatment.

The demand for water resources in India's textile industry will continue to grow for a long time. Textile industry will face more intense competition from agricultural water and domestic water. In order to better cope with the water resources crisis, the government of India has formulated a clear national water efficiency target, striving to increase by 20% in 2020 (based on 2005). The government said that the adjustment of water price will be one of the important means to achieve this goal, so the high water consumption industries are preparing for the increase of industrial water prices in the next few years.

Sino US trade friction brings opportunities for India's textile industry

The India Press Trust reported that Prabhu Damodaran, the convener of the India textile entrepreneur association, said on Saturday that Sino US trade friction has brought opportunities to India's textile industry.

　　 He said that the total amount of global textile exports was fixed at 260 billion US dollars. In the past 5 months, China's exports to the United States dropped by 3% to 4%, and textile manufacturers in India must make use of this opportunity to make money.

Darmodaran made his remarks at the opening ceremony of the second India National Textile Conference. He further said that India manufacturers must shift their focus to value added products and mass garment manufacturing in the clothing sector, which will help reduce the cost of basic commodity clothing.

"An increase of US $1 billion in exports will create 150 thousand new jobs for India." Damodaran said.

According to press reports, India has identified 151 commodities that can replace US exports to China. With the escalation of Sino US trade frictions, India stakeholders believe that India is expected to expand its exports to China with price advantage and make profits.
