Ajay Sahai, Director General, Federation of Indian Export Organisations, said there is no problem of orders in the shorter run, but exporters are still not getting long-term orders. “We are expecting that the situation will improve further,” Sahai said. On labour shortage, he said factories are still not running at full capacity, but the situation will improve in the next few months.
PR Aqeel Ahmed, Chairman, Council for Leather Exports said the sector is doing well as “our order books are improving.” A Sakthivel, Chairman, Apparel Export Promotion Council, also said there is a positive sentiment for Indian goods, which is helping in pushing the outbound shipments. “Orders are coming. This year we hope we will be able to significantly increase our exports. Factories are running at about 60 per cent capacity. By November, we will be able to reach the pre-COVID level,” he said.
