The textile industry including readymade garments occupies a unique position in the Indian economy. Its predominant presence in the Indian economy is manifested in terms of its significant contribution to the industrial production, employment generation and foreign exchange earnings.
The readymade garment industry in India owes its existence to the emergence of a highly profitable market for exports. Ready-made garments account for approximately 45% of India's total textile exports. It has immense potential for employment generation particularly in the rural and remote areas of the country on account of its close linkage with agriculture. They represent value added and less import sub sector. In the recent years, however, the domestic demand has also been growing rapidly.
