Economic Adviser of Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Agrim Kaushal, has said that India experienced continuous growth in its exports in recent years, driven by supportive government policies, improved digital infrastructure, better logistics and trade reforms. Further, Kaushal highlighted the government's commitment to making India a global leader in the textiles and apparel sector.
He referred to the Prime Minister's 5F vision - ‘Farm to Fibre, Fibre to Factory, Factory to Fashion, and Fashion to Foreign’ - as a key framework guiding the sector's growth. He outlined several major government interventions such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, PM MITRA parks, Mega Textile Parks, the National Technical Textiles Mission and various export promotion measures.
He said ‘These efforts have strengthened India's textile value chain and enhanced the country's competitiveness in global markets.’ Moreover, he highlighted opportunities emerging from India's expanding network of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and the recently launched Export Promotion Mission.
