Reimagining Denim Apparel Exports of India
Denim apparel exports from India is negligible despite India produces around 1.80 billion meters of denim fabrics a year – second only to China! However, neighbouring countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh are touching heights in their denim apparel exports, even though they do not have as strong denim supply chain as India has. The panel will explore the underlying challenges hindering Indian denim apparel manufacturers from capitalizing on the global market for exports. Furthermore, the speakers will delve into potential solutions aimed at overcoming these hurdles and facilitating the growth of India's denim apparel exports.
