India's Textile Exports Rise 2.1% in FY 2025-26 Amid Global Resilience
Yesterday, 14:16
India’s textile industry achieved a 2.1% growth in FY 2025-26, showcasing its strength amid global challenges. According to the Ministry of Textiles, total exports—including handicrafts—rose from over ₹3.09 lakh crore in FY 2024-25 to more than ₹3.16 lakh crore this year. This uptick highlights robust international demand for Indian textiles and the sector's ongoing edge in key categories.
Ready-made garments continued to lead export contributions, while cotton yarn, fabrics, made-ups, and handloom products showed steady gains. The government bolstered the industry with ongoing export incentives, such as extensions to the Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) Scheme and the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) Scheme past March 31, 2026.
Progress on India's Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) in 2025-26 promises significant benefits for textiles and apparel, including better market access, lower tariffs, enhanced supply chains, and fresh opportunities. This export momentum, backed by policy support, reinforces the government's push for a stronger sector, more jobs, and higher-value exports.
