CTA Apparels has welcomed the Government of India’s decision to reduce Goods & Services Tax (GST) rates on select textile and apparel categories. The reforms include rectifying the long-standing GST inversion in the man-made fibre (MMF) value chain by aligning GST on MMF fibre and yarn at 5%, down from 18% and 12% respectively.
“This is a timely and forward-looking decision,” said Dr. Mukesh Kansal, Chairman, CTA Apparels. “The reduction in GST and correction of the MMF value chain will ease industry costs, boost demand, and make Indian textiles more competitive globally. It will also allow manufacturers like CTA to reinvest in technology, sustainability, and skill development. We applaud this step and remain committed to passing the benefits to our customers and partners.”

The revised GST structure is expected to:
Enhance price competitiveness in domestic and export markets
Improve cash flows for MSMEs and integrated players
Support employment generation across the sector
Overall, it’s a good step as it puts more money in people’s hands and returns it to the supply chain.
