India's garment industry outraged at duty-free decision

9 September 2011

This week's decision by India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to provide duty-free access to the Indian market for 46 different garment products from neighbouring Bangladesh, has been met with angry responses from the Indian garment industry.

"The prime minister has made a major mistake," says Kandasamy Selvaraju, secretary general at the Southern India Mills' Association, in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu: "It is a disaster; our industry will now be ruined."
