Many Indian states are working aggressively to lure as many investors as possible. Gujarat seems to be at the top spot in this rat race. The state is going to have its 9th edition of Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2019 from 18th-20th January 2019. As textile and apparel manufacturing is one of the major industries in Gujarat, the state is focusing more on the same. It signed two MOU (Memorandum of understanding) with leading industry associations, Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) and The Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI), in the same regard.
The associations aim to disseminate information about Gujarat Apparel & Garment Policy 2017 among its members and sensitise them for making an investment in the state. While the Industries Commissioner of the state Mamta Verma will handhold the apparel investors introduced to GoG by the trade bodies.
These MoUs were signed in Delhi in the presence of Vijay Rupani, CM of Gujarat during the roadshow to promote the summit. On behalf of CITI, its president Sanjay Jain and AEPC’s senior members Rakesh Vaid and Animesh Saxena were present during the ceremony.
An official told Apparel Resources that both the associations will facilitate, motivate their members and the industry to invest in the state. Further, the trade bodies will help through workshop and seminars to the prospective investors of the textile and apparel industry so they can execute their plan easily.
