A Message from Shri

Lalit Thukral

President of NAEC

“I greet you for your cooperation in successful journey of Noida Apparel Export Cluster (NAEC) which was came into in existence in 2007. The achievements of the cluster are undoubtedly remarkable. It has established itself as a prominent body for the cause of apparel sector in the region. I am glad to share that the establishment work of NAEC Apparel YEIDA Park at Yamuna Expressway is going on with full swing. NAEC has signed MoU with CMAI to provide vast opportunities to NAEC members for retail business. Similarly, an agreement with CFR Asset Reconstruction India Ltd., Delhi a registered expert company in the field of Skill Development has been signed to develop/ strengthen the skill development infrastructures to cater skill manpower need of the apparel industry. I am glad to share that Govt. U.P has withdrawn its order about mandatory condition of Irrevocable Rent Agreement (IRT) for 15 years w.r.t. companies running in rented premises/ plots for availing govt. subsidies. Frequent fire incidences in garment units is a serious problem causing huge losses not only of properties but also human life. We are taking up this with the U.P Govt. The allocations and other initiatives made for textile and apparel sectors in Union Budget 2024-25 are appreciable and NAEC is hopeful that apparel export which is stagnating in past will boost in coming years. Keep on sending your valuable suggestions for betterment of our apparel industry."
