Directors Report Year End : Mar '12    « Mar 11
The Directors hereby present the 23rd Annual Report along with the
 audited statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2012.
 
 Overview
 
 Countries are increasingly eliminating their trade barriers and
 international trade now truly spans the globe. Products and services
 
 come from everywhere and go everywhere. This, as well as the
 liberalization of large financial flows, makes countries very dependent
 on what happens in the international economy. India has some leeway to
 get reforms back on track with its long-term growth prospects firm,
 according to the resources.
 
 India''s textile and apparel exports may have missed the -billion
 target in 2011-12 fiscal despite a weak rupee, as demand from biggest
 market Europe dwindled due to the sovereign debt crisis.
 
 The country''s apparel shipment inched up by just 1.5 per cent to 1.28
 billion in February, the third worst monthly performance this fiscal,
 as the crisis in Europe intensified. Apparel exports between April and
 February, however, rose 19 per cent in dollar terms to .14 billion
 due to an initial pick-up and a 16 per cent depreciation of the rupee
 against the dollar that made overseas dispatches more remunerative.
 Apparel exports account for nearly half of the total shipments by the
 textile and garments industry.
 
 The government expected the exports to rise in 2011-12 as demand seemed
 to have returned after the global financial turmoil in 2008, but the
 debt crisis in Europe erupted, jeopardizing shipment prospects.  EU and
 the US, the worst affected nations in the current debt crisis, together
 account for around 65% of India''s textile exports.
 
 The textile industry accounts for around 14 percent of industrial and
 more than 10 percent of the country''s total exports. It is the largest
 jobs generator after agriculture, employing around 35 million people
 across various segments.
 
 To prop up the cash-strapped textiles sector, the Industry has
 requested for the restructuring of loans as well as interest subsidy to
 the garments and knit-wear sectors grappling with the economic slowdown
 of their biggest export markets that forced a sudden plunge of product
 prices after two successive years of relentless rise in raw material
 costs.
 
 With the Reserve Bank of India rejecting the proposal, the fortune of
 the Exporters is again reserved.
