Abstract

Multi Fiber Agreement was imposed on January 1, 1974 as a protection technique to the textiles industry of USA and EU but had to be lifted away on continuous agitation by the nations rich in textiles as this was hindering their optimum utilization. The phasing out of the Multi Fiber Agreement was done in phases in ten years i.e. from 1995 to 2005. This gave the textiles rich nations including India sufficient time and scope to prepare themselves to meet the market challenges in the quota free regime. The research paper investigates through primary survey how the Indian Textiles exporters responded to the situation and what methods (e.g. expansion, technology improvements, diversification, etc.) were adopted to face and tackle the new market conditions at the global level. This is done on the basis of analysis and interpretation of survey conducted by the investigator. The paper is devoted to test two hypotheses to check if Indian exporters were prepared to meet the challenges of the quota free market and their premeditation regarding that
