The Directorate of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics’ (DGCI&S) provisional export data and the import data of US authorities show increase in India’s textile exports to the US in the post quota period, i.e. after 1.1.2005. While DGCIS’s data shows that India’s textile exports to US during the period January- March, 2005 were 1.33% higher thatn the corresponding period of previous year, the US trade data shows a growth of 8.24% in import of textiles products from India during the period January – March, 2005 vis a vis corresponding period of last year. However, certain exporters have expressed that there is an underestimation of export figures given in the DGCI&S data.
