I am glad to know that M/s. Hindustan Chamber of Commerce is organizing a Textile Trade Exhibition (ASIATEX 2007) from 22nd to 25th Feb. ’07 at Mumbai. Apart from serving Textile trade and Industry, I am glad to know also that Hindustan Chamber of Commerce is carrying out its social obligations in the field of Education, Family health and other philanthropic activities.

The Indian textile industry in our country is one of the few industries, which has the potential to emerge as a true global player. In order to increase our market share substantially, we need to tap the potentially more promising and dominant market segments. We must give emphasis on product quality, cost-competitiveness and delivery punctuality with the aid of information technology and electronic commerce.

As regards the growth in fabric production it is very encouraging and the Government has experienced a growth of 7% in the last years and it is expected around 10% in the coming years. It is important note that the increase in GDP per capita in the domestic sector has led to greater disposable income with the Indian people. I believe that with a improved quality, management and competitive prices with effective delivery mechanism India can emerge as a true winner in the global market.

I congratulate the organizers of this event for putting up this Textile Exhibition, which is a step in the right direction. I hope that all the participants in this exhibition will find it to be a rewarding experience. I convey my best wishes for the success of ASIATEX 2007.

It gives me immense pleasure to congratulate the Hindustan Chambers of Commerce for organizing the Fourth Asia Tex 2007 at Mumbai as a part of celebrative events to commemorate 110th years of the inception of organization. As we are aware, the phenomenonal success of the Indian textiles and clothing sectors during the recent past has brought about a new era in the sector. If the present trend continues for some more years, India will be a super power in T & C in the world. Our past experience reminds us the contribution of the trade exhibitions, informative seminars/conferences, fashion shows towards the development of a dynamic textiles sector. Further, the objectives embarked for the Asia Tex 2007 to make India a major resources hub in South Asian region and worldover is appreciable. I hope the Asia Tex 2007, will provide enough opportunities to interface our manufacturers, exporters and other valued stakeholders to the International value chain of the world; and will add a new dimension to our endeavours.

On this occasion I congratulate the Hindustan Chambers of Commerce for taking such an excellent effort in organizing this exhibition for providing further strength to the sector. I wish all success.

I am delighted to learn that the Hindustan Chambers of Commerce is completing 110 years and is commemorating the event by organizing a textile fair, titled ASIATEX 2007 in Mumbai in February 2007.

The Indian Textile Industry has a glorious record of producing fine textiles which are acclaimed across the world. However, the industry has seen ups and downs in the past, particularly in the last two decades. It is heartening to see that the industry has now evolved, adapting to the new environment and successfully responding to the challenges posed by newer technology, shifting consumer preferences, cheaper imports, removal of trade barriers and competition from similarly placed economies.

Our Government is sincerely committed to supplement the efforts of the textile industry to upgrade it. The Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme is intended to provide loan assistance at competitive rates of interest so that the industry can effectively meet the challenges of globalization. The Government is also taking measures to minimize, if not mitigate, the impact of change on business and workers in the transition period.

I compliment the Hindustan Chamber of Commerce for their dedication and commitment in promoting Indian Textile products and wish the fair all success.
