November 08, 2017 - India
The Indian textiles ministry has formed eight committees to identify specific sectors in technical textiles that warrant formulation of standards, textiles secretary Anant Kumar Singh has said. A new mission for technical textiles will also be launched, Singh said inaugurating the third edition of the national conclave on standards on technical textiles.
Standards are a must to accelerate the sector’s growth, Singh said. The tenure of the earlier mission on technical textiles is over.
The eight committees will also include industry representatives, according to a report in a top business daily.
The conclave was recently organised by the ministry of textiles, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).
The share of Indian technical textiles in the domestic and international textile market is quite low compared to those from developed countries, he added. (DS)
