Commenting on the performance, Madhu Sudhan Bhageria, CMD, stated, The Government of India (GoI) implemented Quality Control Order (QCO) effective from 5th October 2023 for polyester yarns, to enforce quality standards and curb the influx of substandard imports. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) plays a pivotal role in ensuring adherence to these standards by certifying products meeting the prescribed criteria for both domestic and international manufacturers.
Following BIS enforcement, polyester yarn imports saw a significant decline in subsequent months. However, the Indian textile industry faced another challenges by way of from a surge in low-price knitted fabric imports from China which caused a cute distress to whole value chain i.e. yarns manufacturers, weavers & processors. Such unprecedented volumes of import at low prices prompted the Government upon various trade association representations and has set a minimum value cap of USD 3.5/kg. This step has stemmed the tide.
The textile industry requires a fair competitive landscape. Currently, the Indian Polyester Industry struggles to compete with China. The influx of low-priced Chinese imports, spanning yarns and fabrics, poses a major threat, leading to diminished margins for domestic polyester manufacturers. The export of yarns has dropped to almost negligible levels. The exports from India can only be improve, when the Government would provide any measures by some means or way of ensuring the availability of raw materials at par with international prices.

Despite such external challenges, domestic demand remains robust, growing at an impressive 8% CAGR. As import-related margin pressures ease, we are optimistic about the future of our polyester filament business, considering its status as the most widely utilized fiber globally."
