A Stitch in Time: Why Simplifying GST is Crucial for India’s Textile Sector
India’s textile industry is one of the largest employers in the country, second only to agriculture. It contributes significantly to exports, domestic consumption, and rural employment. However, the complexity of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) has been a persistent challenge for the sector. A simpler GST system can be the turning point that strengthens India’s textile value chain and drives long-term growth.
The Current GST Challenge in Textiles
The textile industry is characterized by a fragmented supply chain—spinning, weaving, dyeing, and garmenting often involve different tax rates. This leads to confusion, compliance burdens, and increased operational costs for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that form the backbone of the sector.
Why a Simpler GST Matters
Boosting Exports – Streamlined taxation reduces costs, making Indian textiles more competitive globally.
Supporting MSMEs – Simplified compliance ensures that smaller manufacturers can focus on production instead of paperwork.
Encouraging Investment – Clear tax structures attract domestic and foreign investors.
Strengthening Rural Employment – A healthier textile industry secures jobs for millions, particularly women in rural India.
