The Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) has said that the Resilience & Logistics Intervention for Export Facilitation (RELIEF) scheme under the Export Promotion Mission will offer a dose of relief to the MSME-dominated textiles and apparel sector, for which the 2025-2026 financial year was hugely challenging. Ashwin Chandran, the CITI chairman, said in a press release that the scheme aims to alleviate the challenges faced by exporters due to the ongoing turbulence in West Asia. The package announced under RELIEF should be implemented quickly. A significant portion of India’s textile and apparel exports is for west Asia with the UAE being one of the largest markets for Indian textile and apparel exporters. In 2024, the UAE was the fourth largest market for India’s textile and apparel exports, after the US, the EU, and Bangladesh.
