India's textile and apparel exports, including handicrafts, reached USD 18,235.44 million from April to September 2025, marking a slight but promising growth of 0.1% over the previous year. Despite global uncertainties and the impact of US tariffs, the Ministry of Textiles is actively working to bolster the sector's competitiveness through various government-led initiatives such as the PM MITRA Parks Scheme and the Production Linked Incentive Scheme. The ministry's strategic efforts, including market diversification and trade agreements, aim to mitigate risks and leverage new opportunities for Indian exporters, particularly in Tamil Nadu, the largest textile exporting state. The initiatives have fostered growth in key textile clusters like Tirupur, Karur, and Coimbatore, with notable export increases and industry support mechanisms.
