India’s share in RMG exports has improved
3
Source: Intracen,Crisil Research
World RMG Exports remained stable over past 5 years World RMG trade growth remained relatively
stable in 2010-2015, vis-à-vis 2005-2010
- Exports declined in 2015, mostly due to Euro
depreciation and consequent drop of European sales
in dollar terms.
India gained significant market share in 2005-
2009 on quota removal
- However, growth slower than key competitors
Vietnam and Bangladesh
India’s share has slightly improved in 2015, as it
continued to gain market share in non traditional
markets

Textile package marginally positive for apparel exports
• Duty drawback on MMF fabric inputs to make India more cost competitive and boost MMF exports
• Flexible labour laws a significant structural change, which should help the industry scale up production based on market needs
Source : Ministry of Textiles, CRISIL Research
Textile package not a game changer but would support export growth
Special package for Textile exports
Increase in overtime caps on working hours (from 3
to 8 hrs a week)
EPF Scheme (Govt. to bear 12% of employers’ contribution for 3 yrs for employees earning
less than Rs 15,000 pm)
Additional incentives under ATUFS (Outcome based
incentives; increase in subsidy to 25% )
Enhanced duty drawback coverage (duty drawback
to enhance MMF capabilities)
Enhancing scope of 80 JJAA of Income Tax Act (provision
of 240 days relaxed to 150 days)
Introduction of fixed term employment

India less competitive than Bangladesh and Vietnam
India scores high on raw material availability, but loses out on machinery, market diversification
and mix by fabric. Absence of FTAs and low scale of operations also hamper India’s prospects
9
India’s moderate competitiveness in export market
Note: L: Low; M: Moderate; H: High
Source: CRISIL Research
• Bangladesh enjoys zero duty in EU; China has FTAs with many of its
markets; Vietnam has signed trade agreements with the EU and US
• China gets maximum support from its government
• India exports 59% to US & EU; China ships only 44%
• But shipments to non-US/non-EU markets growing at an impressive
pace
• Majority of RMG exports from India are cotton-based
• Smaller scale of operation and lower labour and machine productivity
hamper India’s efficiency.
• However, surplus cotton availability is a positive.
• China has the best infrastructure in among major textile exporters

Long term RMG export growth to be moderate
Exports growth in 2015 moderated to 3% as compared to 15% growth in 2014 due to
- Decline in demand from Europe due to sharp (~16%) Euro depreciation
- Deceleration of growth in Non US-EU markets (from 26% export growth in 2014 to 9% in 2015)
Lower export competitiveness to slowdown export growth to 5-7 % CAGR in the next
5 years
