India’s textile sector has demonstrated strong resilience in the face of global uncertainties, with exports to 111 countries rising 10 per cent year-on-year during April-September 2025, the government has announced.
According to the Ministry of Textiles, these markets together accounted for USD 8.49 billion in revenue, up from USD 7.72 billion in the same period last year—a growth of USD 770.3 million. Overall, exports of textiles, apparel, and made-ups saw a modest 0.1 per cent increase compared to April-September 2024.
Key markets contributing to this growth included the UAE (14.5%), Japan (19%), Germany (2.9%), Spain (9%), France (9.2%), and the UK (1.5%). Other notable surges were recorded in Egypt (27%), Saudi Arabia (12.5%), and Hong Kong (69%).
The growth was driven primarily by Ready-Made Garments (RMG), which grew 3.42 per cent, and the jute sector, which rose 5.56 per cent. The ministry highlighted that this performance underscores the sector’s adaptability and competitiveness amid global headwinds and tariff-related challenges.
India’s expanding footprint in non-traditional markets aligns with government policies promoting export diversification, value addition, and international integration under the “Make in India” and “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” initiatives.
