The participants of National Defence University (NDU) course have appreciated the visionary approach of the Aptma leadership in suggesting the workable solutions to the government about industry problems. The NDU delegation also eulogised resilience of Pakistan textile industry against odd circumstances.
In a recent interaction between the two sides, the Aptma leadership said only uninterrupted energy supply at regionally competitive rate through maximum indigenization can ensure economic security of the textile industry. Aptma leadership further said 200mmcfd should immediately be provided to the captive power plants for generation of 1000MW electricity.
According to Aptma, the government should also introduce regionally competitive interest rates, five-year textile policy, centre of excellence for cotton research, adequate availability of manmade fibres, nation policy on image building and growth oriented long-term policies for industrialisation.
