apparel exports: AEPC asks govt for labour law reforms, improvement in skilling schemes to boost exports

[ad_1] Apparel exporters' body AEPC on Tuesday suggested the government to introduce reforms in labour laws, improve schemes for skilling the workforce and make policy for fabric import flexible to boost exports. Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) Chairman Sudhir Sekhri said that the exports target of USD 40 billion for ready-made garments by 2030 is an ambitious aim, though the industry is making all possible efforts to achieve that. The government should "introduce reforms in Indian labour laws, improve schemes for skilling the workforce and make policy for fabric import flexible and industry friendly," he said. To discuss ways to increase exports, the council held a round-table discussion with the major apparel brands here. The council said that India's biggest strength is its design prowess and raw material base and it must be leveraged. "Among the major asks of brands is the need for building capacity and fast-tracking manufacturing. Also, the skilled labour shortage which is hampering India's growth story needs to be addressed. Brand leaders also suggested that FTAs (free trade agreements) are working in our favour and orders have grown in volume," it added.

[ad_1] Biswajit Dhar, noted economist and former professor, JNU, shares his analysis of the NDA’s external trade performance in the last ten years. How would you rate NDA’s performance on a scale of 1 to 5?My score would be 2.5, which is 50 per cent. There has been a lack of policy focus on how to engage with the global economy. While the process of global integration continues India is seen as somewhat of a laggard, a country not enthusiastic about integrating with the global economy. But after Covid, we have seen more proactive approach towards trade integration. What has been the game changer, if any, in the last 10 years for external trade?The NDA government came to office with an agenda to reverse the pro-FTA stance of its predecessor government.
