The modern textile industry in India first began at Fort Gloster near Kolkata in early 19th century.

    The textile and apparel sector continues to be the driving force for economic growth in both India and Pakistan. The textile and apparel sector in these countries accounts for a significant portion of traded goods, contributing 18.8 percent in India and 65.6 percent in Pakistan, of the total value of exports in FY04. Both these countries are highly dependent on the sector for creation of employment opportunities and export earnings. The dismantling of the quota regime represents both an opportunity as well as a threat: an opportunity because markets will no longer be restricted; a threat because markets will no longer be guaranteed by quotas and even the domestic market will be open to competition. Presently trade in textile and clothing between India and Pakistan is almost nonexistent. Pakistan’s total imports of textile and clothing in FY04 stood at $65.3 million (of which 85.6 percent was raw cotton imports), while exports to India stood at a dismal $11.1 million despite the grant of MFN status to Pakistan by India. It is generally apprehended in Pakistan that Indian textile products are cheaper than Pakistani products and hence will flood the domestic market once India is granted MFN status. In both India and Pakistan, the textile and apparel sectors exhibit different degrees of specialization. While firms in Pakistan are specialized in cotton textile intermediate goods (yarn and grey fabric), as well as towels and bed linen, firms in India have developed a highly complex sector covering the entire value and production chain from fibre…
