The country's long-standing textile industry has provided a strong foundation for specialized skills in garment production, including intimate wear and sportswear. This skilled workforce enables efficient manufacturing processes and ensures quality production.
Cost Competitiveness: India is known for its cost-competitive manufacturing capabilities. The availability of affordable labor and relatively lower production costs compared to many other countries makes it an attractive destination for manufacturing. This cost advantage can help businesses achieve competitive pricing in the global market.
Strong Textile Supply Chain: India has a well-established textile supply chain, including a robust network of fabric suppliers, dyeing and printing facilities, and other supporting industries. This enables manufacturers to source quality materials and components locally, reducing lead times and logistical challenges.
Government Support and Incentives: The Indian government has implemented various initiatives and policies to support the growth of the textile and apparel industry, including intimate wear and sportswear. These include schemes such as the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) and the Integrated Skill Development Scheme (ISDS), which provide financial assistance and skill development programs for manufacturers.
Access to Domestic and International Markets: Setting up manufacturing operations in India provides access to both the large domestic market and opportunities for export. With a rising middle class and increasing disposable incomes, the demand for intimate wear and sportswear within India is growing. Additionally, India has established trade relations with many countries, making it a favorable export destination.
Customization and Innovation: The intimate wear and sportswear sectors offer room for customization and innovation. Manufacturers in India can leverage their expertise to develop customized products and cater to specific consumer preferences. There is also room for innovation in terms of fabrics, technologies, and sustainable manufacturing practices.
Vertical Integration Possibilities: India offers opportunities for vertical integration in the manufacturing process. Companies can explore backward integration by investing in textile mills or forward integration by establishing their own distribution networks or retail outlets. Vertical integration can provide greater control over the supply chain, quality, and branding.
