Silk trade body puts up pre-budget demands

In a pre-budget meeting held with the Textile Commissioner and Textile Secretary, the Federation of Indian Art Silk Weaving

Industry (FIASWI) has demanded special incentives for the decentralised powerloom industry.

FIASWI has demanded that the import duty on Polyester Filament Yarn (PFY) be lowered from the current 5 percent to 2 percent

and custom duty levied on import of machinery for technical textiles be scrapped.

They have also suggested for having a uniform excise duty on all types of yarns and also reduce excise duty on textile

machinery to 4 percent and import duty on yarns for production of technical textiles should be abolished.

The Federation has also strongly recommended that import duties on import of fabrics should continue as India has seen a

surge in shipments of synthetic and cheap fabrics by nearly 30 percent in the last two years.

They have also demanded an increase in capital subsidy paid to the powerloom sector from Rs 10 million to Rs 50 million,

which will help increase the production efficiency of the decentralised sector.

      由纺织部官员和秘书长共同举办的预算会议上，印度联邦艺术丝绸编织工业部（FIASWI）要求为分散动力织机产业设立特别奖励。
      FIASWI要求涤纶长丝纱线的进口关税应该从目前的5%降到2%，并且减免进口纺织机械关税。

      他们也建议为各种纱线设立一个统一的消费税，同时对纺织机械的消费税应该减少到4%，先进纺织纱线产品应免征消费税。

      联邦也强烈的要求进口面料的关税应该继续执行，因为印度新出现的一种合成廉价面料在市场上的 占有率达到30%。

      他们还要求为动力织机部门提供资金补贴从1亿卢比增加到5亿卢比，这将帮助各部门提高生产效率
