Footwear exports reached $196 million—a 16.9-per cent YoY growth.
More orders from the West and partial inventory normalisation backed shipment volumes compared with the volatility seen earlier, according to a domestic media outlet.
Footwear exports reached $196 million showing 16.9-per cent YoY growth during the month, while leather goods and travel articles added another $201 million, showing the strongest 66-per cent YoY growth. Other made-up textile articles contributed $41.5 million (41.7 per cent YoY growth).
Industry stakeholders, however, caution that risks, including soaring energy costs, competition from regional peers and evolving sustainability requirements from global buyers, remain.
However, ongoing investments in logistics, renewable energy use in factories and upgradation of skills are expected to support medium-term growth in the sector.
