Brace up for currency challenges, textile industry told

Our Correspondent

Madurai, March 24 Exploration of an alternative currency for dollar could help the textile industry to meet the crisis on the foreign exchange front, Mr M.B.N. Rao, Chairman and Managing Director, Canara Bank, has said.

He was inaugurating five new spinning mills with 80,000 spindles of Ramco textile division of Ramco group at Rajapalayam, near here, recently.

Pointing out the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates in an open economy, with reference to pricing textile goods in US dollar terms for goods exported from India, the Chairman stressed the need for the industry to face these challenges.

He cautioned that with the quota regime coming to an end, challenges from China were in the offing and needed to be faced boldly.

Calling the Ramco textile division a pioneer in the field, he appreciated the division for combining innovation and quality with sound business sense and corporate social responsibility.

The Chief Executive Officer of machinery supplier Rieter AG (Switzerland), Mr Peter Gnagi, in his address on the occasion, hailed the high degree of education and craftsmanship among the workforce in India.
