The effect of decree decree since 2016 has continued to haunt small and medium-sized retailers engaged in denim business. This was combined with the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the rise in cotton prices, which apparently had an adverse effect on their business and caused losses.
Many retailers claim that their loyal customer base has been eroded and that cash flow has become quite slow. The decree or decree not only burned holes in their pockets, but also forced them to use cashless transactions, which were the cause of the loss.
According to Vishal Dubey, managing partner of the Indian company based in Bangalore, Denmark, “The effect of decree decree has remained on every retailer. They are now experiencing a different type of economic recession. They no longer exist in the system. In cash transactions, wholesalers insist that transactions take place online and it is very difficult for retailers to reap profits."
In the context of the economic downturn, retailers have no other choice but to cut the price of denim products. Another retailer, Suresh Agarwal, owner of Anant Apparels, headquartered in Ahmedabad, said: "Retailers are looking for other promotional means - by selling large quantities of goods."
Sanjay Soni, owner of Mas Enterprises in New Delhi, expressed a similar view: “Our turnover has had a series of impacts on other aspects and companies have stagnated. It is not just for retailers, manufacturers and distributors, but even wholesalers. Different cashless trading patterns."
