Huge opportunities are there to increase collaboration between Indian and Japanese firms in the textiles sector, and companies from Tokyo are keen to invest here, AEPC said on Wednesday.
Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) chairman Sudhir Sekhri said that numbers of meetings were held between companies of the two countries in the apparel sector to explore business opportunities.
A number of domestic firms are participating in the India Tex Trend Fair (ITTF) in Tokyo.
“We have appealed to increase their (Japan) sourcing and invest more in India. We had successful meetings with major brands like Uniqlo, Adastria, Toray, Itokin company, Broque Japan, Daiso, along with YKK and Pegasus,” he said.
