India’s textile sector recorded a 2.1% growth in exports during FY 2025–26, supported by steady global demand and favorable government policies aimed at strengthening the industry.
The growth reflects increasing international demand for Indian yarn, fabrics, and garments, along with improved competitiveness in key global markets. Government initiatives such as export incentives, infrastructure support, and policy reforms have played a crucial role in boosting shipments.
Key segments including cotton textiles, ready-made garments, and man-made fiber products contributed to the overall rise in exports. The industry also benefited from diversification into new markets and stronger trade relationships with major importing countries.
Industry experts believe that continued policy support, along with investments in technology, sustainability, and value-added products, will further accelerate export growth in the coming years.
The steady performance highlights India’s position as a major global textile hub, with strong potential for expansion in both traditional and emerging markets.
