PROFILE
2.1. PROFILE OF THE INDUSTRY
India is among the top garment-manufacturing countries in the world. Indian textiles and
apparel products have a history of fine craftsmanship across the entire value chain from fibre,
yarn, and fabric to apparel with high global appeal. India’s cotton, silk, and denim are highly
popular in other countries, and Indian apparel too has found success across fashion centres
around the world. India is one of the largest consumers and producers of cotton with the
highest acreage of 12.5 million hectares which is 38% of the global area under cotton
cultivation. The Indian textile and apparel industry is highly diversified with a wide range of
segments ranging from products of traditional handloom, handicrafts, wool, and silk products
to the organized textile industry in India.
India’s textile and apparel market size is growing at a CAGR of 14.59% from US$ 172.3
billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 387.3 billion by 2028. Industry is one of the
biggest contributors to the economy with a 2.3% contribution to the gross domestic product
(GDP) which is approx. US$ 70 billion. It is also the second largest employer after
agriculture, providing direct employment to 45 million people and 100 million people in the
allied sector. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Haryana, Jharkhand, and Gujarat are the top textile
and clothing manufacturing states in India
TOP EXPORT DESTINATIONS
India’s textile and apparel products, including handlooms and handicrafts, are exported to
more than 100 countries across the globe. India’s key export destinations for textiles and
apparel products include countries namely the USA, Bangladesh, UK, UAE, Germany, and
among others. The USA is the largest importer among all, importing about one-fourth of the
total exports from India. During 2023-24, the USA was the top export destination for the
textile and apparel industry, accounting for a 28% share of overall exports which has grown
from a 24% share witnessed in 2019-20. India and UAE signed a Free Trade Agreement
(FTA) that went into effect on May 1, 2022, and the country was also in the process of
negotiating FTAs with the EU, Australia, UK, Canada, Israel, and other countries/regions
which is likely to boost exports of Indian textile and apparels in future by providing a
competitive edge over other exporting countries. Furthermore, India’s consolidated foreign
direct investment (FDI) policy circular 2020 provides 100% FDI in single-brand product
retail trading and up to 51% FDI in multi-brand retail trading, subject to certain conditions.
This continues to attract leading international retailers to source their garment and home
textiles requirements from India and drives interest from new export destinations.
Policy changes:
The government can remove the Quality Control Order ('QCO') on Man Made Fibres
('MMF') and yarn.
The government can abolish the customs duty on all types of cotton fibers.
The government can remove customs duties on machinery imported for quality and
competitiveness.
2.2. PROFILE OF THE COMPANY
In 2007 Honeywell Creation was founded in the industrial city of Tirupur in the south Indian
state of Tamilnadu. From the outset the goal has been to establish a modern and
technologically dynamic apparel manufacturing factory that can accommodate ever changing
fashion industry needs. From its humble beginning in 2007 with less than 40 power operated
sewing machines, Honeywell Creation had grown into a major manufacturing facility in less
than a decade. Today’s Honeywell Creation is equipped with 1,800 power operated Japanese
sewing machines that are most modern and the finest in the industry. Lean management
principles are followed throughout the organization to achieve maximum efficiency.
Advanced machinery operated by highly qualified personnel in the industry makes
Honeywell Creation among the best in the apparel manufacturing craft.
Tirupur is the largest cotton textiles, and cotton knitwear, manufacturing hub in the country
since the 1970s. It is also one of the biggest exporting centres of cotton textiles. Over 1000
units Tirupur's export turnover over Rs 20,000 Cr and domestic sales around Rs. 15,000 Cr.
Tirupur is a major textile center in the west of Tamil Nadu and the “Knit wear capital” of
India. It is known for its famous banyan factory and functions successfully for more than
three decades. The city provides employment opportunities to more than six lakh people
through its textile industry. The apparel exporters in Tirupur mostly produce and export
knitted garments and the share of woven garment is insignificant when compared with knitted
garment production and exports.
Tirupur is known for the cluster activity and mostly each activity of garment making is being
carried out in the outside units viz., knitting units, dyeing
& bleaching units, fabric printing, garmenting, embroidery, compacting and calendaringand
other ancillary units. The textile industry in Tirupur is facing many challenges
like poor road and other transport infrastructure, labour shortage during peak season,outdated
machineries, pollution, exchange rate fluctuations and cotton yarn price fluctuations and over
dependence on cotton. To encourage apparel exporters to increase the export marketing
activity the Indian government has to focus on manpower development and other innovative
methods.
