NEW DELHI: The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has reached out to the commerce ministry seeking a ban on import of silk and silk products from China, alleging that it is hurting the local silk industry in India. “Despite being the world’s second largest producer of silk and the largest consumer of raw silk and silk fabrics, the import of low cost and low quality Chinese silk including artificial silk products negatively impacts the demand of Indian silk in its own markets,” KVIC chairman VK Saxena wrote in a letter to commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal.
