新的棉纺出口促进局主席支持增加统一支付界面的使用

New Texprocil chairman bats for increased UPI adoption

Ujwal Lahoti, the new Cotton Textile Export Promotion Council (Texprocil) chairman has requested exporters to adopt Unified Payments Interface (UPI) as a step towards cashless mode of payment and maintaining transparency in transactions. UPI is an open and inclusive digital payment platform developed by the National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI).

Lahoti, who is the executive chairman of Lahoti Overseas, took charge as the chairman of Texprocil with effect from November 21 after the completion of the tenure of RK Dalmia, senior president of Century Textiles & Industries.

“We have also requested the government to take measures like increasing the working capital limits by 50 per cent, increase the moratorium period from 2 months to one year for repayment of loans and increase cash withdrawal limits for SME units based on their withdrawal record,” said Lahoti in a statement.

We need to focus on intensifying business in the new and emerging markets of Africa, South America and Middle East, he said. In order to sustain economic activity and employment, we have requested the Centre to encourage exports and have also urged them to extend the benefit of 3 per cent Interest Equalisation Scheme to cotton yarn and merchant exporters. Further, request has also been made for urgent policy support such as increase in the entitlement under Merchandise Exports from India Scheme for export of yarn, fabrics and made ups to EU.

新的棉纺出口促进局主席支持增加统一支付界面的使用

棉纺织品出口促进委员会(Texprocil)新的主席Ujwal Lahoti要求出口商采取统一的支付界面(UPI)作为无现金付款方式的一种以及维护交易的透明度。UPI数字支付平台是一个开放和包容数字支付平台，由印度国家支付公司(NPCI)开发。

Lahoti海外公司的执行主席Lahoti将担任Texprocil的主席，在世纪纺织品和工业高级总裁任期到11月21日到期后。

“我们还要求政府采取措施增加50%的营运资金限制,增加2个月的准许缓付期间到一年偿还贷款,增加中小企业单位的取现限制，根据他们自己的取款记录,”Lahoti在一份声明中说。

我们需要关注加强在新的和新兴市场如非洲,南美和中东地区的业务，他说。为了维持经济活动和就业,我们已经要求中央鼓励出口,也敦促他们延长棉纱3%的利益平衡机制利率。此外,也要求制定紧急政策支持,比如根据来自印度商品纱线,面料和人造产品出口欧盟的计划，增加权利。
