Many new technical textile items will be brought under quality control order and there is also a discussion on 48 QCOs for technical textile items in the medical sector.
The Centre is working to formulate 107 Quality Control Orders (QCOs) for the technical textile sector, a move aimed at protecting the interest of domestic textile players and also improving exports, ET NOW’s Sameer Dixit reported, citing sources.
Many new technical textile items will be brought under quality control order and there is also a discussion on 48 QCOs for technical textile items in the medical sector.
To deliberate on the issue, a consultation meeting for 34 QCOs is scheduled for February 28.
Discussion is also going on to bring 48 technical textile items under the QCO in the medical sector.
The development is a significant one for the sector as India is heavily reliant on imported machinery and specialty fibre for technical textiles.
Technical textiles are those textile materials used primarily for their technical performance and functional properties, and not for their aesthetic or decorative qualities.
