    Why Textile IndustryWhy Textile Industry

    A worldwide increase in demand for Indian textiles and garments.

    The apparel industry is the largest source of foreign exchange flow into thecountry with the garments exports accounting for almost 16% of the total exports

    of the country. The industry is very vast with over 30,000 readymade garments

    manufacturing units and employs nearly three million people.

    There is great demand for Indian readymade garments the world over. They are

    renowned in the international market for their durability, high quality and

    exquisite work. The ready availability of highly skilled cheap labour is one of the

    primary reasons for Indian garments being so economically priced. Apart from

    this there are other factors in favour of the Indian garments industry like the cost

    effectiveness in manufacturing, raw materials and quick adjustment to what will

    sell, offering high quality at competitive prices, shorter lead times and a virtual

    monopoly in embellishments.

    The lowering of customs duties on imported textile machinery

    With the lowering of the customs duties, removal of quantitative restrictions and

    phasing out of MFA, the Indian textile industry is going to face fierce competition

    not only in exports but also in domestic market. Thus the industry will have to

    improve its efficiency and productivity to meet the emerging global competition.

    The new Policy is targeting textile exports to reach US$ 50 billion by 2010, of

    which the share of garment exports being US$ 25 billion.

    Budget Impact

    The budget will have an overall positive impact on the textile industry, which is

    happy to receive the expected Fiscal Stimulation Package. The main thrust for the

    textile sector, is to have a moderate rate structure, to complete the CENVAT chain

    to promote compliance, to encourage modernisation and to eliminate evasion.

    Reduction of duty across the board - The textile industry which suffers from

    low level excise compliance of about 35-40% duet its complicated structure

    and sectorial disparities has been granted a special merit rate of excise duty.

  • 7/28/2019 Textile Project NIRVANA

    6/27

    Lowering of excise duty along with levy of excise duty at weaving and knitting

    stage will complete the Cenvat chain. Its also expected that at such low and

    special merit rate the overall compliance level of the industry will move up

    significantly. Reduction in Customs duty that will enhance the imports from

    US and EU countries. With the result the decentralized sector namely,

    powerloom, handloom and small garmenting units would now be relieved of

    problems relating to maintaining excise records and complying with the excise

    procedures. Additional excise duty on textiles & textile articles (AT&T) and

    Additional Excise Duty have been abolished. Basic Custom Duty on various

    textile machinery and spare parts to 5% has also been reduced. Reducing import duty on textile machineries and spares - Lowering of

    customs duty on textile machinery from 25% to 5% will fill the gap and meet

    the need of investment both for modernization and capacity creation mainly in

    weaving and processing sectors.

    Extending the scope of Textile Up-gradation Fund

    The Export Promotion Credit Guarantee Scheme has been extended to thetextile sector (limit reduced to Rs.10 million).

    The ERMI Units have taken the lead in incorporating IT in the textile sector.

    [Use of ERP and CAD].

    Government initiatives for special package for modernization of power looms

    and textile infrastructure development scheme, in addition to existing TUF

    scheme will provide opportunity for power looms to upgrade and restructure to

    meet the challenges.

    culture global. Kurta is a hardcore traditional Indian wear and the way it is

    been glamorized by Indian designers it will certainly take on international

    markets by storm.

    STRENGTHSSTRENGTHS1. Abundant Raw Material Availability: This will allow the industry to cut

    costs and reduce overall lead-times across the value chain. India is one of the

    largest producers of Natural and Man-made fibre.

  • 7/28/2019 Textile Project NIRVANA

    8/27

    Since our company Indo Garment Industries is situated in Mumbai (Maharashtra)

    it has the advantage of being in close proximity of sources of both Natural and

    Man-Made fibre and fabric as well as access to important fibre through excellent

    ports (Eg. JNPT)

    2. Low Cost of skilled labour: This provides a competitive advantage for the

    industry. Maharashtra has one of the best available skilled labour force in textile

    due to existence of traditional textile centres- Mumbai, Sholapur, Amravati etc.

    3. Presence across the Value Chain: Provides a competitive advantage when

    compared to countries like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka who has developed

    primarily as garmenters. The presence across the value chain resulted in Reduced Lead-Times: Manufacturing capacity present across the entire

    product range enables textile companies and garmenters to source their

    material locally and reduce lead times. Especially Maharashtra has presence

    across the entire value chain- yarn, fabric, process houses, garmenters and

    access to excellent ports.

    4. Growing domestic markets: Growing domestic markets in India allows

    manufacturers to Mitigate Risks while allowing them to build competitiveness.

    Domestic markets in India are very sensitive to fashion and fads and this has

    resulted in development of very responsive garment industry. Also very low per

    capita consumption of textile in India indicates significant potential for growth.

    WEAKNESSSESWEAKNESSSES

    1. Fragmented Industry: Leading to lower the ability to expand and emerge as

    "World Class" Player. In case of Maharashtra the industry is extremely

    fragmented with significant section of the industry is still in the power loom

    sector- in centres like Bhiwandi.

    9/27

    Degree of Fragmentation in Indian Textile Industry.Degree of Fragmentation in Indian Textile Industry.

    Power loom sector -63%

    Handloom Sector -14%

    Mill Sector - 4%,

    Hosiery Sector -19%

    2. Historical Regulations: Though relaxed continue to be an impediment to

    global competitiveness. These regulations resulted in complex industry structure,

    which is currently an impediment Eg. Pre-2000, Garmenting was reserved for the

    SSI sector, which was resulted in most unit being set-up with small capacities.Knitted garments continue to be reserved for SSI sector.

    3. Lower Productivity and Cost Competitiveness: Low cost competitiveness

    has hampered the ability to compete with low cost global players. Labour force in

    India has a much lower productivity as compared to competing countries like

    China, Sri-Lanka etc. The Indian Industry lacks adequate economies of scale and

    is therefore unable to compete with china and other countries. Costs like Indirect

    Taxes, Power and Interest Rates are relatively high in India as compared to the

    competing countries.

    4. Technology obsolescence: Technological Obsolescence has resulted in the

    need for significant technological investments to achieve world-class quality.

    Large portion of the processing capacity is still obsolete. While state of the art

    technology mills exist, majority of the capacity lies currently with the power loom

    sector. This has also resulted in low value addition in the industry.

    OPPORTUNITIESOPPORTUNITIES

  • 7/28/2019 Textile Project NIRVANA

    10/27

    1. Post-2005 challenges: Post 2005 is s huge opportunity that needs to be

    capitalised. Global Trade is expected to be triple from the current USD 305 Bn to

    USD 856 Bn.

    2. New Product Development: Indian companies need additional focus in order

    to move up the value chain and capture a greater global market share. Indian

    companies needs to increase focus on product development like new specialized

    fabric like Smart Fabrics, Specialized treatments etc. At the same time Indian

    garment industry should stress on faster turnaround times for design samples. To

    facilitate the process of new product development we should increase the use of

    CAD to develop designing capabilities in the organization and developing greateroptions. Indian garment industry should invest in trend forecasting to enable

    growth of the industry in India.

    THREATSTHREATS

    1. Competition in global markets: Almost all the major players in the industry

    are competing with each other not only on the basis of lower prices but also on

    better quality. Competition is not likely to remain just in export space, the

    industry is likely to face competition from cheaper imports as well. This is likely

    to affect the international industry and may lead to increase consolidation.

    2. Ecological and Social awareness: Increasing Social and Ecological awareness

    is likely to result in increased pressure on the industry to follow international

    labour and environmental laws. Developed markets have seen extensive

    developments in the form of increased consumer consciousness on issues such as

    usage of polluting dyes, usage of child labour, unhealthy working conditions etc.

    The Indian Industry need to prepare for the fall-out of such issues by improving

    its working practices.

  • 7/28/2019 Textile Project NIRVANA

    11/27

    3. Regional alliances: Regional Trade Blocks play a significant role in the global

    garment industry with countries enjoying concessional tariffs by virtue of being

    member of such blocks/alliances. Indian industry, would need to be prepared to

    face fall-out of the post 2005 scenarios in the form of continued barriers for

    imports.

    INDUSTRY ANALYSISINDUSTRY ANALYSIS

    Competitors of Indo-Garment Industry

    The apparel industry is one of India's largest foreign exchange earners, accounting

    for nearly 16% of the country's total exports. The 1996 Indian textile exports

    approximately amounted to Rs.35,000 crores of which apparel occupied over

    Rs14,000 crores.

    It has been estimated that India has approximately 30,000 readymade garment

    manufacturing units and around three million people are working in the industry .

    Today not only is the garment export business growing, enthusiasm in the minds

    of the foreign buyers is also at a high.Today many leading fashion labels are being

    associated with Indian products. India is increasingly being looked upon as a

    major supplier of high quality fashion apparels and Indian apparels have come to

    be appreciated in major markets internationally. The credit for this

    goes to our exporter commmunity.

    Consistant efforts towards extensive market coverage, improving

    technical capabilities and putting together an attractive and wide

  • 7/28/2019 Textile Project NIRVANA

    12/27

    merchandise line has paid rich dividends. But till today, our clothing industry is

    dominated by sub-contractors and consists mainly of small units of 50 to 60

    machines. India's supply base is medium quality, relatively high fashion, but small

    volume business.

    The Top 10 competitors are as follows:1) Indian Rayan & Inds 2) Ambattuer Clothing

    3) Rupa & Co. 4) Nahar Spinning Mills

    Marketing and SalesMarketing and Sales

    Considering that to the core of our business is stitching cloth and making

    ready made garments for the garment companies, the textile industry can be

    segmented into the cloth manufactures or fabric manufactures, readymade

    garment exporters and companies that are a hybrid of these two.

    Most companies in our business are targeting the ready made garment

    exporters and the hybrid companies. This part of the business is straight forward

    but difficult to differentiate. All these companies pick up the cloth or fabric from

    these garment exporters, stitch the garment as per the specifications and then

    deliver it to them on time. The margin enjoyed is pretty substantial especially in

    the recent past when the demand for these readymade garments has shot up.

    We will get in touch with the fabric or cloth manufacturers who supply this

    cloth to the readymade garment exporters. The arrangement we intend to have is

    that we will aim for a tie up with these companies who can in turn offer the

    garment manufacturers a complete set of services. This will ensure that we get a

    steady flow of business from these companies though the margins will be thinner

    as we need to give them the added margins that they can offer to the garment

    exporters. What we will also gain in this process is the experience of handling

    large orders which can later be used to get into the market on our own. The fabric

    or cloth manufacturers on the other hand will gain in the sense that apart from the

    revenue they get on their existing business, they will get additional profits in

    terms of the margins on the stitching cost they offer to the readymade garment

    manufacturers and what we offer them. They will also be able to differentiate

  • 7/28/2019 Textile Project NIRVANA

    17/27

    themselves as a company offering a range of services which would help them get

    more business.

    Once our company name is established and we have carved a niche for

    ourselves, we would reverse the roles i.e. we will look out for fabric

    manufacturers who would tie up with us for assured business while we gain on the

    margins. This entire setup works favorably for us mainly because this ensures

    optimum utilization of our machinery and man power a must for succeeding in

    this industry.

    We intend targeting these two segments by positioning ourselves on two

    counts quality stitching and excellent prices. Quality stitching would becommunicated to the target segment by highlighting the best imported machinery

    that being used in our factories and the highest quality of stitching tools being

    employed. The price aspect would be communicated by highlighting the

    increased automation of the processes in our factories. The prices are also

    achieved as a result of the lower margins that we will be able to absorb.

    The 4 PsThe 4 Ps

    Product: The product strategy in place is the highest quality of stitching on offer

    and the ability to cater to all kinds of fabrics. Its ultimate designs are of

    international appeal.

    Price: The margins allow us a lot of flexibility in pricing which would be used to

    offer better credit periods. Discounts would also be offered based on the size of

    the orders.

  • 7/28/2019 Textile Project NIRVANA

    18/27

    Place: As part of our promotion, we intend to offer both pick up and delivery of

    the material from and to the garment exporters or the fabric manufacturers.

    Promotion: We intend to use advertising in media as a medium to promote our

    business. Also we intend to use direct marketing with a core pitch stitching

    relationships around which the campaign will revolve. An excellent sales agency

    will also be put in place for better results.

    STPSTP

    SegmentationSegmentationThere are several basis of segmentation some of which are discussed below

    Geographic Segmentation:

    This involves segmenting on the basis of region, country, continent,

    state, and district, urban & rural areas.. So we will be targeting North

    East USA which includes New York, Boston & Philadelphia.

    Demographic Segmentation:

    We will be targeting men falling in the age group of 14-35. The market

    places selected comprise of people mainly falling in the same age group.

    Also there are many Indians residing over here who can be targeted as

    our target market.

    Psychographic Segmentation:

    Variables such as the personality types, lifestyles & value systems form

    the basis of psychographic segmentation. In this case people who are

    stylish, open to new trends & traditional will be zeroed upon.

    Volume Segmentation:

  • 7/28/2019 Textile Project NIRVANA

    19/27

    Here the volume of purchase or the potential quantity of purchase is the

    basis of segmentation. There may be bulk buyers & small scale buyers,

    regular buyers & one time buyers. For Kurtas we are targeting young

    and middle age crowd which is stylish and responsive to new trend

    forming majority of the population.

    Target Market SegmentsTarget Market Segments

    Targeted primarily to style conscious person one who;

    Is casual.

    Has affiliation towards cotton material

    Views it as fashionable apparel.

    Consideration of Profitability:

    The profit potential on the premium segment is quite high & a relativelylower volume would provide adequate returns to the firm. But as

    competition is increasing day by day, and this product is generally

    considered trendy the company will have to depend upon timely R&D in

    design & fabric as we plan for a long term stand in the international

    market.Market Segmentation & Target Market selection are closely

    related to marketing strategy formulation. It is segmentation that leads

    the firm to the acquisition of a competitive capability or a distinctive

    excellence in catering to the specific needs of target segments of the

    market.

    As Youth of modern times who likes to portray an image which is versatile,

    flamboyant, cheerful and simultaneously attached with their culture and we are

    now targeting those youth by proper utilization of media tools to spread awareness

    about our traditional oriented garments.

    POSITIONINGPOSITIONINGIt involves the act of fixing the exact locus of the product offer in the chosen

    market; it decides how & around what distinctive feature, the product offer has to

    be couched & communicated to the consumers.

    RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENTRESEARCH & DEVELOPMENTAs we have long term plans for the international markets and our product is

    considered as trendy, timely R&D is necessary to retain the interest of the

    consumers in the product. Also as time passes we will diversify into other clothing

    like designer shirts, T- Shirts etc.

    BRANDINGBRANDING

    Brand is a name or symbol used to identify the source of a product. When

    developing a new product, branding is an important decision. The brand can add

    significant value when it is well recognized and has positive associations in the

    mind of the consumer. This concept is referred to as brand equity

    BRAND NAMEBRAND NAME

    As we are the players of international market we need to name our brand in way

    so that it appeals to that particular market. We have planned as our brandname since it is not only universally understood but also denotes Indian ness.

    Brand Punch LineBrand Punch Line

    The company name itself will be used to form the punch line of the brand.

    means attainment of perfect bliss. That is what will be the kind of feeling the

    end user experiences after wearing our product. Hence the punch line WEAR IT,WEAR IT,

    TO ACHIEVE ITTO ACHIEVE IT

    Brand EquityBrand Equity

    Brand equity is a set of brand assets and liabilities linked to a brand, its name

    and symbol, that add to or subtract from the value provided by a product or

    service to a firm to that firms customers.

    The asset and liabilities on which brand equity is based will differ from context to

    context; they can be usefully grouped into five categories:

    1. Brand loyalty

    2. Name Awareness

    3. Perceived Quality

    4. Brand association in addition to perceived quality

    We will consider at least three perspectives to view brand equity:

    Strong brand equity provides the following benefits: Facilitates a more predictable income stream.

    Increases cash flow by increasing market share, reducing promotional costs,

    and allowing premium pricing.

    Brand equity is an asset that can be sold or leased.

    Building and Managing Brand EquityBuilding and Managing Brand EquityIn his 1989 paper, Managing Brand Equity, Peter H. Farquhar outlined the

    following three stages that are required in order to build a strong brand, consider it

    with the example of

    1) Introduction - introduce a quality product with the strategy of using the

    brand as a platform from which to penetrate deeper into the market. A

    positive evaluation by the consumer is important. Launch of is

    based on the same principle.

    2) Elaboration - The brand is easy to remember and develop repeat usage.

    There is accessible brand attitude, that is, the consumer easily remembers

    his or her positive evaluation of the brand.

    3) Fortification - the brand carries a consistent image over time to reinforce its

    place in the consumer's mind and develops a special relationship with the

    consumer.

    Advertising aspectAdvertising aspect

    Hoardings: - Electronic hoardings are easy way to advertise new brands that come

    to market. So we plan to expose our brand through electronic hoardings through

    out the NewYork city

    Newspaper & magazine; - Newspaper & magazine advertising is the easiest way

    to reach out the masses. Thus impressive advertising through newspaper would

    help us to reach our target market effectively

    Television ads: - taking cost into consideration advertising through television

    becomes occasional but spot on like at the launch of new product and so on.

    Other than the efforts put in by the Sales agency we will even look forward to tie-

    up with shopping malls. Also opportunities in entering shopping festivals will be

    targeted. A continuous follow-up with the PR agency is necessary for

    improvements in methods of building a brand image. Tie-ups with Marketing

    agencies over there will help us market our product in a foreign environment.
