APTMA urges MoTI to impose safeguard measures on yarn import from India

All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) has approached the Ministry of Textile Industry to take steps by providing level playing field to compete with the international market place and immediately impose safeguard measures on import of Indian yarn into Pakistani commerce to stop the attrition of competitiveness of domestic textile industry. The import of Indian yarn into Pakistan is increasing day by day and during last three years the import of Indian Yarn has increased from 4,927 tons to 25,839 tons. It is a matter of serious concern that India, on the other hand, has erected an invincible wall particularly against yarn imports, as a result of which there are no meaningful yarn imports into India.
