Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 26:<\/strong> Brijendra Kagzi, CMD of Shrijee Lifestyle Pvt. Ltd, applauded the Union Budget for 2024-25, highlighting its growth-oriented approach and its potential to foster employment, skill development, as well as MSME growth.<\/p>\n

Key Highlights<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Employment Incentives<\/strong>: The budget\u2019s employment-linked incentives & internship programs are expected to drive job creation in the textile sector, the largest employment generator in manufacturing.<\/p>\n

Credit Guarantee Scheme:<\/strong> The proposed scheme will enable MSMEs to secure funding without collateral or third-party guarantees, encouraging growth in this sector.<\/p>\n

Areas for Improvement<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Interest Subvention:<\/strong> To provide relief to existing and upcoming MSME textile units, Kagzi advocated for an interest subvention of 2-3%, aligning MSMEs with large corporates that enjoy lower funding rates.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Import Duty on Fabrics<\/strong>: Introducing a minimum import duty of Rs 25 per square meter on cheaper Chinese fabrics would protect the local textile industry and promote local sourcing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

-GST Inverted Duty Structure<\/strong>: The textile sector faces a disparity with input GST rates at 12-18% and output rates at 5%. Rectifying this anomaly would release substantial amounts stuck due to higher GST paid on inputs. Refunds for accumulated credits, including on capital goods, should be streamlined.<\/p>\n

GST on Textile Machinery and Supplies<\/strong>: Reducing the GST rate on textile machinery, dyes, and chemicals from 18% to 5% would stimulate growth in the fabric sector, enhancing India\u2019s competitiveness in global trade.<\/p>\n

Digital Printing Sector<\/strong>: The incidence of 18% GST on digital printing machines and inks needs reduction to 5% in order to help Indian fabric units compete against Chinese digital printed fabrics in both domestic and international markets.<\/p>\n

Kagzi expressed optimism that these changes could be addressed in the upcoming GST council meeting, complementing the budget proposals to create a conducive environment for high growth in the fabric processing segment, a crucial part of the textile value chain.<\/p>\n
