The exemption of import duty on cotton till September 30 will boost textile exports to $60 billion in the current fiscal year, says Home Textile Exporters Welfare Association (HEWA).

HEWA says the government needs to stop the uncontrolled exports of raw materials to nations such as China and Bangladesh as they are disrupting the current supply-demand cycle.
