Golden Muga, Eri, and Pat Mulberry Silks

Golden Muga, Eri, and Pat Mulberry Silks

Assam is globally known for its indigenous Muga, Eri, and Pat silks, which are woven into traditional garments such as Mekhela Chador, sarees, stoles, and Riha.

Golden Muga, Eri, and Pat silks are unique to Assam and represent the state’s rich handloom heritage. These silks are woven into mekhela chador, sarees, stoles, gamucha, and other traditional garments widely used on cultural and ceremonial occasions. The premium quality and natural texture of these fabrics create strong demand in luxury and ethnic fashion markets. From a fiscal perspective, silk textiles are subject to applicable GST, while exports are zero-rated with RoDTEP benefits, and imports of weaving equipment may involve customs duties, subject to available incentives. From a non-fiscal perspective, compliance with textile quality standards, labelling, and applicable GI requirements is essential. Export markets require adherence to international textile standards, quality assurance requirements, and proper packaging.
