印度：对中小型企业的政策将有利于服装行业发展

MSME Package will benefit garment industry: CMAI
The recent package announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the MSME sector has been welcomed by the garment industry. Over 75 per cent of the garment industry in India is in the MSME sector and the 12 announcements covered in the package would benefit most units in the industry, The Clothing Manufacturers’ Association of India (CMAI) has said.
Terming the Package as “Growth oriented and visionary”, CMAI president thanked Modi and Union textiles minister Smriti Irani.
Identifying scarcity of working capital as a major constraint for the garment industry, Mehta said that the 2 per cent Interest Subvention for New Loans, 2 per cent Additional Subvention for Export Credits and Clearance of Loans within 59 minutes would immensely help thecountry’s garment industry to address working capital problems. Credit based on Upcoming Receivables under e-discounting system is another welcome step in this direction, he said in a press release.
The garment industry being the most labour-intensive segment of the manufacturing sector, complying with the requirements under various labour laws is a major responsibility for the industry. The present government had initiated some labour reforms for the segment earlier under a Special Package. Stricter Regulation of visits by Inspectors and stipulating that Returns Under 8 Labour Laws and 10 Union Regulations have to be filed now only on annual basis have taken this process further ahead, said Mehta.
He also welcomed social security measures contemplated for workers in the MSME sector.

印度：对中小型企业的政策将有利于服装行业发展
印度总理纳伦德拉•莫迪最近宣布的对中小企业的一揽子计划受到了服装业的欢迎。印度服装制造商协会表示，印度服装行业超过75%属于中小企业领域，该计划涵盖的12项公告将惠及该行业的多数部门。
CMAI主席将这一揽子计划描述为“以增长为导向并有远见的”，他感谢莫迪和纺织部长Smriti Irani。
识别出缺乏营运资金是服装行业的主要约束，Mehta表示，为新贷款2%的利率补助金，出口信贷2%的额外补助金以及在59分钟内清除贷款将极大帮助该国的服装行业解决营运资金问题。他在一份新闻稿中说，在电子贴现系统下，基于即将到来的应收款项的信贷朝着这个方向又迈出了一步。
服装业是制造业中劳动力最密集的部门，遵守各种劳动法的要求是服装业的主要责任。本届政府早些时候根据一项特别的计划为该部门进行了一些劳工改革。Mehta说，来访的检查人员更严格的监管，并规定8部劳动法和10部工会法规现在必须存档，只有在每年的基础上才能进一步推进这一过程。
他还欢迎为中小企业部门的工人设想社会保障措施。
