The Government remains engaged with various stakeholders, including Export Promotion Councils (EPCs) and industry associations, on assessment of the impact on competitiveness of the sector. Despite challenges, India's exports of textiles and apparel, including handicrafts, stood at Rs.3,25,339 Crore in 2025-26, registering a growth of 1.8 per cent over Rs.3,19,573.2 Crore in 2024-25. Export growth was recorded in more than 100 destinations during the year (Source: DGCI&S). The Government has taken several measures to support the industry including temporary exemption from customs duty on import of Cotton falling under Customs Tariff Heading 5201 from 1 June to 31 October 2026; the temporary exemption from customs duties on key inputs in the man-made fibre (MMF) value chain, including Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and Mono-Ethylene Glycol (MEG); rationalisation of GST rates in the manmade fibre (MMF) value chain etc.
In order to facilitate the Indian Textile Industry to become globally competitive using environmentally friendly processing standards and technology, the Ministry implemented Scheme for Integrated Textile Park (SITP) upto 31.03.2021; however, the Scheme has now been subsumed under the umbrella Scheme of Textile Cluster Development Scheme (TCDS) for completing ongoing projects only. Under the scheme, 50 projects have been sanctioned of which 33 projects have successfully been completed. Further, in order to facilitate the textile industry to meet the required environmental standards and to support new Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETP)/ upgradation of CETPs in existing processing clusters as well as new processing parks specially in the Coastal Zones, the Ministry implemented Integrated Processing Development Scheme (IPDS) upto 31.03.2021; however, the Scheme is now being implemented for completing ongoing projects only. The details of fund utilisation under SITP and CPCDS component of TCDS and IPDS are given below.
In addition, Amended Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (ATUFS) was launched in January 2016 which was valid till 31st March, 2022. Currently only committed liabilities are being cleared under ATUFS for UIDs generated till 31.03.2022. During the period from 2016-17 to 2025-26, under the scheme (ATUFS), an expenditure of Rs.8611.82 Crore has been incurred.
The Government has undertaken several initiatives to help textile units meet international quality, environmental and sustainability standards, including the Tex-Eco Initiative announced in the Union Budget 2026-27 to promote circular economy technologies and textile waste management, recycling, sustainable packaging, and the development of recycled fibers and high-value products across India. An Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) Task Force has been constituted to address issues related to sustainable production, certifications, and exports while facilitating industry knowledge sharing through platforms like Circular Samvaad and the Cluster Exchange Mechanism. The Textiles Committee has signed an MoU with the Standing Conference of Public Enterprises (SCOPE) and Government e-Marketplace (GeM) to promote the procurement of upcycled products." Other Global pilot projects include (i) Eliminating Hazardous Chemicals from Textile Fashion Supply Chain, implemented in partnership with UNIDO and funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) to eliminate hazardous chemicals and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and waste in the fashion supply chain; and (ii) Accelerating the Transition of Indian Textile Sector towards Circularity (In-Tex India), implemented in collaboration with UNEP to scale circular business models using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodologies.
The Government has implemented several schemes and undertaken various initiatives to strengthen competitiveness of the Textile and Apparel sector. These include the PM Mega Integrated Textile Regions and Apparel (PM MITRA) Parks Scheme, the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Textiles, the National Technical Textiles Mission (NTTM), SAMARTH-Scheme for Capacity Building in the Textile Sector, and the launch of various components including Market Access Support and interest subvention under the Export Promotion Mission etc. On exports, the government has extended the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RODTEP) Scheme & Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) Scheme up to 30 September 2026; and launched the Resilience & Logistics Intervention for Export Facilitation (RELIEF) Scheme etc. The Government has also adopted a focused export-promotion and market-diversification strategy covering 40 priority countries. Sixteen Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), including the India-United Kingdom Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), are already in force. In addition, the FTA negotiations with the European Union (EU) have been successfully concluded, while India has signed an FTA with New Zealand. These agreements provide an opportunity for Indian textiles and apparel sector to enhance their exports and undertake market diversification.
Collectively, these measures have helped diversify export markets, improve market access and quality standards and enhance the competitiveness of Indian exporters, particularly Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
