APTMA Chairman Explains Why Pakistan’s Textile Industry Needs Urgent Reform | Nukta Business

Pakistan’s textile industry stands at a crossroads. In this podcast, Nukta's Lahore Editor, Murtaza Dar, sits down with Chairman of APTMA (All Pakistan Textile Mills Association), Kamran Arshad, to unpack the realities of Pakistan’s largest export sector. From energy shortages, high tariffs, and government support to how we stack up against Bangladesh, India, and Vietnam - the conversation explores where the textile industry truly stands today. We also discuss APTMA’s long-term vision for the next decade, the regulatory reforms needed to stay competitive, and initiatives around renewable energy and efficiency. Plus, we ask the tough question: why do exports lag behind, despite enormous subsidies, while overseas Pakistanis send home a record $38 billion in remittances? #nukta #nuktabusiness #pakistantextileindustry #textilemills #textileexports #pakistantrade #pakistaneconomy #pakistanexports #remittances Follow us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
