The Indian government has taken a significant step to support domestic manufacturers of synthetic knitted fabrics by implementing a minimum import price (MIP). This policy aims to create a more level playing field for Indian producers facing competition from cheaper imports.
Effective Date: March 16, 2024 (immediate)
Affected HS Codes: Specific HS codes under Chapter 60 of the ITC (HS) 2022, including:
Minimum Import Price: US$ 3.50 per kilogram (CIF value)
Policy Duration: Until September 15, 2024 (subject to extension)
This policy reflects the government’s dedication to:
Boosting Domestic Production: The MIP aims to strengthen domestic production capabilities and create a more favorable environment for Indian textile businesses.
Balanced Trade Growth: The policy seeks to safeguard the interests of domestic stakeholders while promoting sustainable economic growth through strategic trade regulations.
Stakeholders in the textile industry, particularly those involved in importing and selling synthetic knitted fabrics, will need to adapt their operations to comply with the new regulations.
