India will soon have its own standard body sizes for the apparel sector with only the final touches pending following the conclusion of a nationwide survey, Union Textiles Minister Piyush Goyal said on Tuesday.
However, the exercise to standardise the Indian footwear size will take a little longer, 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."
