Silk trade body puts up pre-budget demands

In a pre-budget meeting held with the Textile Commissioner and Textile Secretary, the Federation of Indian Art Silk Weaving

Industry (FIASWI) has demanded special incentives for the decentralised powerloom industry.

FIASWI has demanded that the import duty on Polyester Filament Yarn (PFY) be lowered from the current 5 percent to 2 percent

and custom duty levied on import of machinery for technical textiles be scrapped.

They have also suggested for having a uniform excise duty on all types of yarns and also reduce excise duty on textile

machinery to 4 percent and import duty on yarns for production of technical textiles should be abolished.

The Federation has also strongly recommended that import duties on import of fabrics should continue as India has seen a

surge in shipments of synthetic and cheap fabrics by nearly 30 percent in the last two years.

They have also demanded an increase in capital subsidy paid to the powerloom sector from Rs 10 million to Rs 50 million,

which will help increase the production efficiency of the decentralised sector.

      由紡織部官員和秘書長共同舉辦的預算會議上，印度聯(lián)邦藝術絲綢編織工業(yè)部（FIASWI）要求為分散動力織機產(chǎn)業(yè)設立特別獎勵。
      FIASWI要求滌綸長絲紗線的進口關稅應該從目前的5%降到2%，并且減免進口紡織機械關稅。

      他們也建議為各種紗線設立一個統(tǒng)一的消費稅，同時對紡織機械的消費稅應該減少到4%，先進紡織紗線產(chǎn)品應免征消費稅。

      聯(lián)邦也強烈的要求進口面料的關稅應該繼續(xù)執(zhí)行，因為印度新出現(xiàn)的一種合成廉價面料在市場上的 占有率達到30%。

      他們還要求為動力織機部門提供資金補貼從1億盧比增加到5億盧比，這將幫助各部門提高生產(chǎn)效率
