Who we are

The Clothing, Textiles, Footwear and Leather Growth Programme (“CTFLGP”) is administered by the IDC on behalf of the dtic. The foundation of the CTFLGP arose from the dtic’s implementation of the Re-imagining Industrial Strategy to boost Inclusion & Private Investment.

The CTFLGP replaces the Clothing, Textiles Competitiveness Programme (CTCP) which consisted of the Production Incentive Programme (PIP) and the Competitiveness Improvement Programme (CIP).
