Dear Sirs/Madam,

It has been brought to our notice through the Office of the Textile Commissioner that certain concerns are being faced by the fabric industry relating to fibre mixing in yarn manufacturing, which is reportedly leading to quality-related issues in downstream products.

In this regard, CITI would like to make an earnest appeal to all industry stakeholders to ensure proper and accurate declaration of yarn count and blend percentage on yarn cones as well as in invoices, so as to maintain transparency and facilitate fair trade practices.

We believe that proactive self-compliance and greater transparency by all stakeholders will go a long way in strengthening confidence. However, any such continued instances of misdeclaration or non-transparency may result in initiation of appropriate corrective measures from the Government side.

We, therefore, request all members to kindly take note of the above and extend their cooperation in upholding best trade practices in the larger interest of the industry.

With Regards,

Chandrima Chatterjee

(Secretary General)
