Focus on quality & delivery: Textile Min to fashion exporters

Fashion jewellery and accessory exporters should focus on maintaining quality and timely product delivery to enhance competitiveness in global markets and boost exports, Textiles Minister Ajay Tamta said.

According to Tamta, Indian exporters have stepped up by increasing exports of fashion jewellery and accessories.

"However, they need to do more hard work in maintaining quality, price and delivery of their products to face the competition from other competitive countries as well as promote exports from the country," the ministry said in a statement, quoting Tamta.

He was speaking at the 9th edition of the Indian Fashion Jewellery and Accessories Show at the India Expo Centre and Mart in Greater Noida.

Tamta suggested that new crafts other than those being practised in clusters in villages should be introduced in order to generate sustained employment opportunities.

There is also a need for development of craft of the Himalayan region as well, he said, promising the exporting community all possible help from the ministry.
