India’s textile sector is targeting $100 billion in exports by 2030 as the country focuses on expanding global market presence, improving sustainability standards, and leveraging new free trade agreements (FTAs) to boost international competitiveness.
The export growth strategy aims to strengthen India’s position in the global textile and apparel market by promoting sustainable manufacturing, upgrading production capabilities, and increasing value-added exports. The sector is expected to benefit from growing demand for responsibly produced textiles and diversified supply chains.
Industry stakeholders are placing greater emphasis on environmentally friendly practices, including energy efficiency, sustainable materials, waste reduction, and cleaner production methods. These initiatives are designed to align India’s textile industry with evolving global buyer expectations.
Trade agreements and improved market access are also expected to support export expansion by creating new opportunities for Indian manufacturers in key international markets. The government and industry are working to enhance competitiveness through infrastructure development, technology adoption, and skill improvement.
With textiles remaining a major contributor to India’s manufacturing and export economy, the $100 billion target reflects the sector’s ambition to become a stronger global supplier while adapting to changing sustainability and trade requirements.
