Speak
 "The
sudden surge in imports from China is alarming."
G.P. Goenka, President, FICCI
With a sector-wise report on Chinese imports and representations to the
Government, FICCI is at the forefront of the battle against imports.
 "Imported
fabric has minimum defects. This improves our productivity."
Arvind Poddar, Managing Director, Siyaram Poddar Group
Arvind and Vijaya Poddar, owners of the Oxemberg brand, have proved that
an open regime can also be a boon. They are importing 50,000 m of fabric
from Thailand to produce readymade garments.
"If
I confine myself to Indian goods, it will be difficult to survive in business."
Hunaid F. Pocketwalla, furnishings showroom owner
With his customers increasingly demanding foreign goods, Pocketwalla has
no choice but to stock imported items. And unlike goods from western countries,
the Chinese items are far cheaper than Indian products.
