The export credit, which has been applied to leather, jute and textile industries, provides exporters with interest rates below 2% of market interest rates to reduce interest burden on enterprises.

The weak demand has severely damaged the export performance of garments and knitted garments in India, resulting in widespread confidence in these enterprises.

In addition, the closure of Tirupur dyeing and finishing plant in India textile town has also led to the cancellation of many export orders by buyers.

The canal also warned that many garment enterprises in India will soon be classified as bad assets by banks. This is because they are unable to repay their loans, causing the survival crisis faced by garment exporters in India is increasing.

The Reserve Bank of India has raised interest rates 13 times since March 2010. Dr. Sakthivel said that the loan interest rate of India garment exporters was higher than 12%, which was a threat to India's competitiveness compared with the 6% or lower lending rates of rival countries such as Bangladesh, Vietnam and Kampuchea.

President AEPC asked the Ministry of finance of India to support the measures in addition to the 2% export of garments and knitted industries.

Credit subsidy

At home and abroad, the plan includes extending the principal repayment of the long-term loans for 24 months, as well as the sharp decline in the prices of materials and finished products, resulting in the backlog of the liquidity of the enterprises, which can be converted into working capital loans, with a period of 5 years and a 1 year extension of repayment.
