the previous year exports. However, a declining trend has beennoticed in
the textile exports since the beginning of the year 2001, which is mainly
due to the
slow-down in the economies of some of the major importing countries
such as US and increasedcompetition from our neighboring countries like
china, Bangladesh etc. Indian textiles andclothing exports is facing various
constraints of infrastructure, high power and transaction cost,incidence of
state level cess and duties, lack of state-of-the-art technology etc. Textile

CONCLUSION
Analysis of the available data shows that Indian gains in world textile and
clothing trade in the ATC and post MFA era have not been commensurate
with its expectation by any reasonable yardstick. Indias performance in
textile and clothing with reference to EU and the US market was
substantially inferior in comparison with China.
The fact that Indias imports grew faster than its export and Chinas export
grew faster than its imports.Several factors are responsible for this.
These include:
(a) Indias inability to rise up to the occasion,
(b) Its poor capabilities and resources that inhibited it from moving
beyond the level of other competing developing countries and attaining a
stature comparable to Chinas,
(c) The myopic vision of Indian textiles and clothing enterprises about the
post-quota gains whereby they expected the gains to accrue to them even
as they did very little to ensure the arrival of these gains,
