Conclusion
The Indian denim industry stands to benefit immensely from the ambitious Make in India initiative. The vision of the
programme has the potential to overhaul the segments perception and the countrys contribution in the world denim
scenario. However, to turn this vision in to reality, Indias denim manufacturing segment needs to be equipped with
facilitating mechanisms. Even more important is the effective implementation of these mechanisms. Once this is done, the
strength of domestic Indian denim markets as well as its denim export capabilities will remain unparalleled.
