Piyush Goyal, the Union Textiles Minister revealed on Tuesday that India is soon going to release it’s own standard sizes for apparel and shoes. He also added that only final touches are pending to be concluded after that we don’t have to rely on British size system.
However, the work is also on to standardise the Indian footwear size but comparatively it will take a longer time, he added.
“The faculty members of the National Institute of Fashion Technology, who conducted the survey (after) travelling to every state, have done very good work. A presentation (of the survey) was made before me a few days ago,” Goyal said during a press conference at the BJP headquarters.
“We will give it a finishing touch and implement it across the country once it is approved,” he added.
About a standard Indian size for footwear, the minister said it will take “a little more time”. “But it will also come soon.”
