This year, lifetime achievement award will be bestowed upon Sanjay Lalbhai, chairman – Arvind Brands, for his invaluable and outstanding contribution to the growth of the apparel industry in India.

"Several of the amendments brought about by the GST Council were steps in the right directions and the textile & clothing industry has seen a fair amount of relief – especially in the procedures. A lot more still needs to be done and CMAI is continuing its active interaction with the government and the GST Council to address these issues," said Rahul Mehta, president, CMAI.
