MoS Margherita lays foundation for textile exports, discusses jobs for Indians during Russia visit
Moscow [Russia]October 5 (Memorial): India actively explores the likelihood of increasing textile exports to Russia and possibly other CIS countries, as it concentrates its efforts to diversify.
This week, a three -day official visit to Russia, Foreign Minister Pabitra Margherita, Minister of Foreign Affairs, underlined India’s intention to deepen the participation in the Russian textile industry on trade, technology and manpower as well as others.
India is currently exporting US textiles worth $ 37.4 billion and the government aims to an three -storey increase by 2030. “We are trying to diversify our markets and discover new markets.”
Russia imports approximately 12 billion dollars of textile from global markets annually and India’s share can be neglected.
During his visit, Margherita met for the Russian Deputy Minister for trade and trade and held high -level talks focusing on future cooperation.
“We discussed the way to deepen our cooperation in the textile industry by developing industrial, R & D, investment and academic cooperation. We invited Russian companies to benefit from the human power available in Bharat to benefit from our flagship PM Mitra parks.”
The most important feature of the visit was historically interacted with the authorities and industrial stakeholders in the Ivanovo region, the center of the live textile industry of Russia.
“I discussed with a strong delegation, including these state officials. We discussed about future cooperation, technology change, joint initiatives and investments. Also, they also stated that they wanted more talented Indian workers for textile industries, along with the import of textile.” He said.
He also took time to visit Indian workers employed in a textile factory in the region and accepted their vital roles.
“He had the opportunity to interact with Indian workers working in a textile factory in Russia’s Ivanovo region. He appreciated his contributions and repeated our commitment to support talented, semi -skilled and irregular mobility abroad.
The Ivanovo textile industry is ready to suck at least 2,500 Indian workers this year.
“Russia has a good working situation for a good fee and talented Indian workers have tremendous opportunities there,” Margherita said.
Russia, which continues its cultural and trade synergy, is preparing to exhibit Indian hands in one of its prestigious places and more details at a later stage. In this museum, there are 2 million Footfalls annually that will allow rich Indian textiles to meet many eyeballs.
The Tsaritsyno Museum in Moscow will host the ‘Time: India Fabric’, a series of Indian textile products curated by the National Crafts Museum and Hastala Academy in December 2025. The initiative points to “a new section in the mutual discovery of our rich textile traditions”.
The Minister also opened the best of India in Moscow – India Clothing and Textile Fair held on October 1-3.
“More than 100 participants and producers participated in this three -day event. For three days, more than 10000 visitors should have an estimated uprising as well as several B2B meetings,” he said.
The event, organized by the Handloom Export Promotion Council (HEPC), aimed to strengthen India’s textile exports to Russia and to unlock opportunities in the wider BDT region.
India’s best – Indian clothes and textile fair in Moscow exhibited the power of India’s hand weaving and textile industry. Margherita also met with representatives of Russian textile companies.
“I approved them about India’s textile value chain (human -made firatory) and other advantages about the relevant infrastructure. In addition to other advantages, I talked about the PM Mitra Parks that will receive end -to -end facilities from companies.
These developments are also difficult to export to the key target, where Indian textiles face 50%Trump tariffs. (MOMENT)
