Textile and engineering exporters have expressed hope that the Market Access Support (MAS) Intervention under the Export Promotion Mission will enable them to explore new markets.

The Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) said the Intervention will be a big help to India’s textile and apparel exporters as they seek to venture into newer geographies.

“Coming on the back of the signing of the India-Oman trade pact and conclusion of FTA negotiations with New Zealand in December 2025, it’s one of the best news to end what has otherwise been a very challenging year for the textile and apparel sector,” its chairman Ashwin Chandran said in a press statement.

“With the trade deals already signed by India and those on the anvil opening new opportunities, the Market Access Support intervention will provide a fillip to textile and apparel exporters to expand their presence in more countries.”
