Integrating sustainability into the future of India’s textile industry via a circular economy.

Sustainability is becoming a crucial growth factor for India's textile and apparel sector as the nation speeds up its shift towards a circular economy via policy backing, cleaner production methods, waste recovery, and responsible sourcing. The industry accounts for almost 2% of India's GDP and approximately 11% of the Gross Value Added (GVA) in manufacturing, while directly employing over 45 million individuals. India ranks as the sixth-largest exporter of textiles and apparel globally, representing approximately 4% of total worldwide exports. The nation presently handles almost 7.8 million tonnes of textile waste each year, with more than 70% reclaimed via recycling, upcycling, downcycling, and reuse, and around 95% of pre-consumer textile waste is reintegrated into manufacturing. The textile waste recovery system provides livelihoods for approximately 40-45 lakh individuals, especially women from disadvantaged groups, highlighting the sector's role in promoting inclusive and sustainable development. The Government is enhancing sustainable textile production via initiatives like the National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP), Jute-ICARE, the New Age Fibre Mission, and the National Fibre Scheme, while incorporating green infrastructure into the PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Parks. Seven PM MITRA Parks have received approval with a total expenditure of Rs. 4,445 crore (US$ 464.34 million), with agreements related to possible investments surpassing Rs. By December 2025, agreements worth ₹27,434 crore (US$ 3.10 billion) had been finalized. The Government is promoting green technologies via the Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance (RAMP) Programme, executing the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, enhancing textile recycling, and launching eco-labelling under the Eco-Mark Scheme, 2024.

India’s textile industry has emerged as one of the country’s key growth engines, expanding to nearly Rs. 16.66 lakh crore (US$ 190 billion) in 2025-26 and setting its sights on achieving a market size of Rs. 33.10 lakh crore (US$ 350 billion) by 2030. The domestic textile market has increased significantly from about Rs. 6 lakh crore (US$ 93.63 billion) in 2014-15 to over Rs. 16 lakh crore (US$ 170.4 billion), reflecting rising consumption, expanding manufacturing capabilities and stronger value-chain integration. According to Textiles Minister Mr. Giriraj Singh, the sector currently provides direct employment to more than 5.3 crore people and is expected to create nearly 2 crore additional jobs over the next three years. Guided by the Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi’s 5F vision- Farm to Fibre, Fibre to Factory, Factory to Fashion and Fashion to Foreign, the industry has evolved into a comprehensive ecosystem connecting farmers, weavers, artisans, manufacturers and exporters. The Government has introduced several initiatives to strengthen the sector’s competitiveness, including PM MITRA Parks, the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, the National Technical Textiles Mission (NTTM), the Textiles Export Promotion Mission (TEEM), the National Fibre Mission and the Raw Material Support Scheme (RMSS). Measures such as the Cotton Productivity Mission and the removal of import duty on cotton are supporting raw material availability and farmer incomes. Export competitiveness has been further enhanced through RoSCTL and RoDTEP schemes, while India’s FTA network has expanded from 10 agreements covering 19 countries in 2014 to 18 agreements covering 56 countries. India has also emerged as a global leader in technical textiles, with the market growing from about Rs. 55,734 crore (US$ 6 billion) to Rs. 2.32 lakh crore (US$ 25 billion) under NTTM.
