The Khadi and Village Industries Commission has contacted the commerce ministry of India, requesting a ban on import of silk and silk products from China.
India is the second largest producer of silk in the world after China.
“The import of low cost and low quality Chinese silk including artificial silk products negatively impacts the demand of Indian silk in its own markets,” the KVIC chairman wrote in a recent letter to the Commerce and Industry minister.
This is another instance in recent times when KVIC has sought a ban on imports from China.
