The EU, US and UAE remained the top export destinations for India’s textiles and garment products, WTI said.
On the import front, all categories except fibre saw an increase in H1 FY19.

今年上半年，印度纺织品服装出口略有下滑
根据最新的瓦齐尔纺织品指数(WTI)，印度上半年纺织品和服装出口总额为184亿美元，同比下降1%。有关纺织业市场表现的调查结果显示，同期纺织品和服装进口同比增长4%。
除了服装以外，2019年上半年所有类别的出口同比都有所增长。今年上半年，服装出口下降了16%，这在很大程度上归因于对阿联酋服装出口的下降。印度对阿联酋纺织品和服装出口在19财年上半年也下降了约50%。WTI表示，欧盟、美国和阿联酋仍是印度纺织品和服装产品的最大出口目的地。
在进口方面，2019年上半年，除了纤维以外的所有类别都出现了增长。服装进口大幅增长56%，主要原因是来自中国和孟加拉国等国的进口商品关税扣除消费税后，实际进口关税下降。中国仍是印度最大的进口伙伴，但与前一年相比，今年上半年的进口略有下降0.4%。
与2018财年上半年相比，上半年EBITDA平均利润率上升1.1个百分点，达到13.8%。“上半年，综合原材料成本占销售的52.3%，而综合人力成本占销售的10.2%。”在2019财年上半年，原材料和人力成本占销售的比例几乎停滞不前。这反映在印度顶级纺织企业盈利能力的增长上。
