Evolving Industry Landscape
The textile and apparel industry is being reshaped by technological advances, the rise of e-commerce and demand for sustainable and technical textiles. In response, governments worldwide, including in India, have introduced targeted policies like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme and initiatives promoting textiles and manufacturing hubs. Changing global trade dynamics, environmental regulations and labour reforms are prompting businesses to rethink sourcing strategies, compliance frameworks and operational risks. Businesses must navigate a multi-jurisdictional regulatory landscape that includes trade controls, IPR disputes, ESG obligations, BIS standards and quality control orders, which demand strategic legal insight and proactive compliance.
