Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs, Nirmala
Sitharaman has emphasised the need to strengthen the
entire textile value chain, from farm to fibre, factory, fashion and
foreign markets, to ensure a robust and uninterrupted cotton
yarn ecosystem. Referring to the Sindhu-Saraswati Civilisa
tion and archaeological evidence, the Union Minister noted that
Indias rich textile and weaving heritage dates back to ancient
times and continues to shape its global identity in the sector.
Fulfilling the vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047 will require ambi
tious action, including reaching USD 100 billion in textile exports
and USD 250 billion in textile production by 2030, further noted
by the Union Finance Minister.
