Apparel exporters ask govt to expedite India-EU FTA |
|
NEW DELHI: Apparel exporters on Monday sought expeditious finalisation of the India-EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA) to enable better market access for Indian exporters whose total outbound shipments stood at $15.7 billion last year.
"India's clothing exports to the FTA countries have increased significantly after signing of the FTA/PTA (Preferential Trade) agreements.
"These markets accounted for 12% share of India's clothing exports and around 58% (of $475 million in 2013) share in the country's global clothing import," Apparel Exports Promotion Council (AEPC) chairman Virender Uppal said.
