The council is a Company registered under the Companies Act, 1956. Its main activities include:
- Export promotion of cotton fabrics, cotton yarn and cotton made-ups.
- Market studies for individual products, circulation of trade enquiries, participation in exhibitions, fairs and seminars etc.
- Determines and allocates export quotas for yarn, fabrics and made-ups in accordance with quota policies of government.
Since its inception in 1954 as an autonomous, non-profit export promotion body, TEXPROCIL has become the international face of Indian Cotton Textiles successfully facilitating exports. For the foreign buyer, it has opened the entire range of Indian cotton yarns, fabrics and made-ups and has become the one-stop source for it. While for the discerning Indian seller it has brought within reach the opportunities afforded by the global market. The ever increasing quantum of exports and diversity of markets tapped bear testimony to the success of TEXPROCIL
Wide scope of activities
The activities of TEXPROCIL extend to all areas related to the promotion of exports. Collation and dissemination of information, fielding of trade enquiries, administering quotas, facilitating an interface between domestic manufacturers and the global market and settling of disputes are some of the activities of the Council.
One of the most important functions of TEXPROCIL is the collection of vital market information and collation of the same. Information with regards to new products, new ranges, government policies, rules and regulations, changing trends, quality standards, products commanding greater demand in the global markets and statistics about the exports of Indian cotton textiles are disseminated regularly. This not only makes TEXPROCIL the premier repository of relevant information but also provides the key inputs for both the Indian seller as well as the foreign buyer in their respective efforts.
Fostering international presence
TEXPROCIL has initiated the process of participating in several international trade fairs and exhibitions which has opened a new avenue for Indian sellers to exhibit their products, field enquiries and clinch deals. This increased international presence has made the face of Indian cotton textile accruing from the participation in these fairs is that it provides another opportunity to disseminate information.
Evaluation of new markets
TEXPROCIL has conducted studies in far-flung markets to gauge the potential of the same and thereby provide reliable information for the Indian seller. The European market, which is the most potential one for Indian textiles, is constantly monitored by the Council and up-to-date information is disseminated to the members. Foreign offices in Frankfurt, Durban and Hong Kong have allowed TEXPROCIL to be in touch with the pulse of these towards creating and maintaining good bilateral trade relations. TEXPROCIL sends delegations to various markets on a regular basis.
Advertising & publicity
A well-planned advertising and promotional strategy has helped project India as one of the leading sources for good quality cotton textiles. The effort has been to focus on the obvious strengths and convey them to a wide audience. Presence in relevant media vehicles like fashion magazines, event-related pull-outs, India reports and leading trade magazines has helped to make India one of the most sought source for cotton textiles.
Aneffective aid to the Government
Invaluable help has been provided to the Government of India in the area of framing of policies that have a bearing on the exports of cotton textiles. This has helped in the creation and nurturing of a healthy trade climate and exporter-friendly policies which have been the primary reasons for the boom in exports. The roles played by TEXPROCIL in the finalisation of the Multi Fibre Arrangement and in the negotiations at the World Trade Organisation have been extremely commendable.
