Abstract: Abstract The textile and clothing (T&C) industry of India has faced enormous changes in policies in both international and domestic spheres over time. The potential of this industry is particularly important in the light of liberalization in T&C trade with the phased removal of MFA quota, enhanced competition created by China’s WTO accession as well as ambitious export-led growth and the domestic sector reforms undertaken by the Government of India. This chapter discusses the international and domestic policies affecting the trade potential of this industry in a meticulous detail. It also takes into account the diverse projections and resultant effects stated by earlier studies for ensuing a complete knowledge about the present scenario embracing this industry.
