Support for Global recognition of Indian Brands
Ministry of Textiles is promoting global recognition of various certification marks such as Handloom mark and Silk Mark and traditional products such as Baluchari Silk, Jamdani Cotton, Chanderi Saree, Pochhampally Ikat, tie-dye, etc. Indian brands who are planning to venture overseas can capitalize this marketing support by including such marks and products in their offering to international customers.
