Textile Vision 2005 gave a road map to Textile Industry to avail the opportunities of global Textile Trade when textile quotas will phase out. Target set for 2005 under three scenarios were:

1998 Low Road Do Able High Road Exports4.97.44010.1213.82 (Bln. U.S. $) Investments2.74.56.4 (Bln. U.S.$)Employment1.37--2.38 (Millions)

Pakistans Textile Exports in 2002 03 fetched US $ 7.17 Bln. Which is almost the Low Road scenario.

EXPORT TARGET FOR TEXTILE 2005 6. UNDER THREE SCENARIOS EXPORT TARGETS 2005 (Million ) 4,897 10,121 7,440 13,815 7.

China has made huge investment in modern equipment. China has merits of Scale, Productivities, Quality and Aggressive Marketing.

China has expanded textile exports from $ 39.5 billions in 1998 to $ 53.5 billions in 2001. China plans to increase its textile exports further to US $75.0 billions by 2005.

Buyers are watching the global supply position & if Pakistani Entrepreneursare not willing to change , the buyers will shift to China which has developed a large supply base for Textile Products.

ANALYSIS OF THE MAJOR COMPETITOR 8.

Pakistans Textile Industry haspotentials to increase volumes of textile exportsand enhance earnings by shifting more & more to high value added products. A comprehensive policy package is desired to support the Textile Industry to survive & win the post MFA competition by making available the necessary facilities & infrastructure in a timely manner.

It is critically necessary for Pakistan to provide infrastructure for Textile Industry to expand in size and volume to compete with China in the international market after the elimination of MFA quota by 1st January, 2005.

REQUIRED ACTIONS 9.

In order to give a boost to export of value added textile products at a quicker pace, Textile Vision 2005 proposed establishment of

Textile City .

REQUIRED ACTIONS (continued) 10.

The concept of the Textile City is based on designing an exclusive production area specializing inlarge-scaleproduction ofvalue addedtextile products, and

Providing necessary infrastructure facilities such as sufficient water, gas, stable voltage power, and treatment of waste water that ensures cleaner environment in the Textile City; as well as

Making available all support activities to facilitate the units for concentrating on production activities with high level of productivity and quick delivery response to the export orders.

CONCEPT OF TEXTILE CITY 11.

Further it is easier for the foreign buyers to visit and place orders for particular products with the units of their choice, economizing their time-traveling and ease in contacts with local manufacturers.

The proposal is to create the Textile City as a broad and integrated Free Trade Zone specializing in Textile Industry, particularly dyeing factories in order to gather the scattered textile companies together in the Textile City as much as possible .

CONCEPT OF TEXTILE CITY (continued ) 12.

The proposal is to locate the Textile City somewhere physically near or having good access to a sea-port.In Karachi, vast land area for industrial use is available at Port Qasim , which seems to be an ideal place for the Textile City.

(NB) The Textile City needs to be kept at 3-4 kilometers distance from the Pakistan Steel Mill at Port Qasim because its dust can harm the textile dyeing process. Additionally the water used at the Textile City can be re-utilized by the Pakistan Steel Mill.

LOCATION OF TEXTILE CITY 13.

The Textile City will be declared under the legislation of

Export Processing Zone

offering the same incentives.

FACILITIES OF THE TEXTILE CITY 14.

Priority will be given to large-scale factories with minimum capacity of the knitted fabric dyeing of 20 MT/day and/or 50,000 meter/day for woven fabrics possibly with knitting/stitching facilities.

Guaranteed supply of sufficient water (18 million gallon/day or 80,000MT/day) (details explained later), as well as stable voltage power and gas

Common facilities for waste-water treatment to be used collectively at reasonable fee will be provided to allow participating companies to meet ISO -14000 certificate as a requirement from their buyers in Europe and the US that is envisaged to be escalated after the elimination of the MFA quota at the end of 2004.

FACILITIES OF THE TEXTILE CITY (continued ) 15. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TEXTILE CITY 10 units Minimum No. of dyeing units in the Zone 1.8 Million gallons/day per unit Water requirement per unit Average 40 MT/day (Min. 20 MT/day) 50,000 meters/day Capacity of one dying (knitting) Unit Capacity of one dying (woven) Unit Port Qasim, Karachi Preferable Location 150 200 Acres Total Land Requirement (10 Acres / Unit) 18.0 Million gallons/day (80,000MT/day) Total water requirements 16.

The supporting industry for the textile accessories e.g. sewing thread interlining, padding, buttons, zipper, tags, embroidery & name labels need to be promoted also.

Inviting relevant industries like accessories makers or packers to the adjacent area to the Textile City.

A housing complex for the workers in the Textile City need to be considered beside the transportation to the Textile City by the stake- holders

Averagely, one kg of Pakistani dyed knitted fabric fetchesUS$4.00 higher price. So the supply of sufficient water can add the value ofUS$1.6 million/day(Average capacity:40MT/day, 10units). If each unit works 365 days a year, total increased value becomes aboutUS$580 million . If dyed fabrics are stitched before shipment, there will be 50% further increase in value, which is equivalent to aboutUS$870 million . Supply of 18.0 Million gallons water per day means that the export earnings increase toUS$870 million per year.

As water supply condition is currently extremely inadequate at Karachi, it is necessary to provide enough water for the dyeing industry in Karachi. These units heavily seek abundant water supply for their works and further expansion.

JUSTIFICATION / DETAILS (continued) 19.

One more Textile City is being planned for up-country and

Three Garment Cities are being planned in Karachi Lahore & Faisalabad.

Ministry of Industries is working separately on proposals for the Garment Cities.
