PRO version 04.02.2010 as per written comments of DC (MSME) vide their U.O No. 37(5)/64/2009-10/Hosy. dated 03.02.2010. Thereafter, firm represented thereon stating that in this case there are total five export items whereas norms were fixed only for four export items, hence, norms for one more export item i.e “Twin Quilt” have been left over. The representative of the firm Sh. Dinesh Mittal, who appeared for personal hearing before Norms Committee alongwith relevant details informed that norms fixed for “King Quilt (Size 108”x92”) i.e 7.89 Sq mtrs./Pc are also on lower side. He explained that for “King Quilt” (Size 108”x92”), the imported silk fabric is to be used in the back of the King Quilt. As per design of the finished product during threading over quilted surface, the fabrics submerged/gathered and to maintain the finish size of 108”x92”, hence, it should have the back panel of size 120”x100”. As a result of which the cotton fabric front consumption is approx. 8.90 Sq mtrs and because it is in 108” width, therefore actual consumption of Silk is of 10.439 Sq mtrs/Pc in respect of “King Quilt (Size 108”x92”). It was observed that as fabric width is to maintain 54” and big panel is used in the middle, wastage would be more. The Committee after deliberations in consultation with the representatives of technical authorities present in the meeting felt that in order to maintain the specific design (width-wise) the quantitative requirement of fabric for “King Quilt (Size 108”x92”) would be more. It was therefore decided to enhance the Qty. from 7.90 Sq mtr./Pc to 10.439 Sq mtrs/Pc in respect of “King Quilt (Size 108”x92”) i.e as applied by the firm. Further, Committee also felt that as regards “Twin Quilt (Size 68”x86”) the Qty. asked for i.e 4.9 Sq mtrs./Pc is adequate.
