Textile development and trade have been India’s forte since centuries. The last few decades have also seen the growth and development of the Clothing or Garment Industry. India’s garment industry has achieved worldwide prominence as a source of clothing that combines the latest global fashion trends with exquisite designs, inspired from local culture. Globalisation has helped trade in many ways. Garment Industry in India: The industry covers over one lakh units and employs about 60 lakh workers, both directly and indirectly in almost equal proportion. The indirect portion helps to sustain the direct production sector in the shape of items associated with the garment industry production, which includes sewing/embroidery threads, trims, machine parts, cardboard sheets, and packaging material. The organised sector of the garment industry is roughly 20 percent of the total industry, concentrating chiefly on exports. As the apparel industry is fashion driven and fashion keeps changing, manufacturing units have to cope with the changing trends. The consumers are now more aware and more demanding with the development of media like television and internet. They have more choices in quality, price and design.
