SRTEPC RCMC Registration (Synthetic & Rayon Textiles EPC / MATEXIL)
Mandatory export council registration and RCMC for man-made fibres, synthetic yarns, polyester fabrics, and technical textiles.
Overview
The Synthetic & Rayon Textiles Export Promotion Council (SRTEPC, newly rebranded as MATEXIL - Man-Made and Technical Textiles Export Promotion Council), established in 1954 under the Ministry of Textiles, is the nodal export council for India’s dynamic man-made fibre (MMF) and technical textiles industry. India is a global powerhouse in synthetic textiles, producing vast volumes of polyester filament yarns, viscose staple fibre, nylon tyre cord, synthetic suitings and shirtings, georgette, chiffon, and high-performance technical textiles (geotextiles, medical textiles, automotive fabrics). Under Chapter 2 of the Foreign Trade Policy, holding an active SRTEPC / MATEXIL Registration Cum Membership Certificate (RCMC) is a non-negotiable statutory requirement for every exporter shipping synthetic yarns, artificial fabrics, and technical textile products. An SRTEPC RCMC is essential to claim RoDTEP and Duty Drawback remissions, import specialty polymer chips and petrochemical inputs duty-free under Advance Authorisation, and access subsidized booths at global exhibitions like ITMA and Techtextil Frankfurt. JRC Legal manages complete SRTEPC registration on the DGFT e-RCMC portal.
