MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 1. Current Scenario: As per the latest GDP growth estimates, Indian economy grew by 7.4% in FY 15 compared to 6.9% in FY 14, mostly driven by improved economic fundamentals and revision of GDP methodology calculation. Even inflation showed signs of methodology calculation. Even inflation showed signs of moderation, a welcome sign - wholesale price and consumer price inflation decline to 4.2% and 7.4% respectively, compared with last year's 6.3% and 10.1%. Reduced inflation, falling crude oil price, stable Rupee, improved purchasing power and consumer spending, higher capital inflows supported by the government policy reforms have already put India on an accelerating growth track and improved the business outlook. The Government envisages GDP growth to accelerate to 8% in FY16 driven by strengthening macroeconomic fundamentals and implementation of policy reforms recently announced. Reforms like e-auctions of coal mines and telecom, FDI hike in insurance, speedier regulatory approvals etc. will be critical growth enablers to de-bottleneck stalled projects, improve the investment outlook and the ease of doing business in the country. Reforms currently underway such as GST implementation, Amendment on Land Acquisition Bill, Labour Reforms, etc are expected to provide the requisite thrust the growth in the medium-term. Opportunities and Challenges: Being the second largest employer in India coupled with strong industry linkages with the rural economy augurs Indian textile industry as one of the most significant sectors with an incremental growth potential. Rural economy has seen a spurt in income levels the last few years and this is the right time to juxtapose their synergies to promote the industry growth. Being one of the key focus sectors under the Government's "Make in India" campaign is a testimony to the huge growth potential the industry holds, both in terms of infrastructure development and skill improvement. Globally, favourable trade policy reforms would also allow the industry to expand its trade partners, improve its export competitiveness and contribute substantially to the nation's income. However, the growth prospects are constrained by many challenges including rising input costs (wages, power and interest cost), restrictive labour laws and intensified competition from other low cost countries like Bangladesh. Such issues need to be addressed to result in unlocking maximum industry growth potential. 2.
