Coimbatore: Synergy between cotton fabric and synthetic fabric is the need of the hour for the textile industry, said Kavita Gupta, textile commissioner, government of India, on Friday. “Even if a textile fabric blend has 45% cotton and 55% synthetic fabric it is categorised as synthetic fabric,” she saidGupta said a mega textile expo in Bengaluru has brought the entire textile value chain in one place. “Textile producers from Coimbatore have also been asking for a mega textile expo. “We need at least 9 billion kilograms of synthetic fabric to meet the demand,” she said. “The country’s textile sector is a $150 billion market with $110 billion domestic textile production and $40 billion in exports,” she said and added that the cotton deficit should be bridged by synthetic textiles.
