Technical textiles
Technical textile units depend heavily on imported machinery and specialised inputs. MOOWR defers the duty on both, with no export obligation.
Why MOOWR suits technical textiles
Technical textile lines are capital-intensive, and much of the machinery is imported. Specialised fibres, yarns and chemicals often are too. MOOWR defers the duty on both, with no export obligation.
Where it applies
- Nonwovens, including spunbond and spunlace
- Geotextiles and agrotextiles
- Medical and hygiene textiles
- Protective and industrial textiles
- Automotive textiles and composites
Serving both markets
Many technical textile units supply Indian buyers and export from the same plant. Duty on inputs used in exports is remitted. Duty on inputs used in goods sold in India is paid on clearance, without interest.
