India’s readymade garment exports have demonstrated remarkable resilience, registering an impressive 11.4% year-on-year growth to USD 9.85 billion during the April-November period of the current fiscal year. This robust performance underscores the unwavering global demand for “Made-in-India” apparel, despite the prevailing geopolitical uncertainties.
The Apparel Exports Promotion Council (AEPC) attributes this success to several key factors. The shifting geopolitical landscape is increasingly favouring India as a preferred manufacturing destination. The nation’s inherent strengths, coupled with a robust and supportive policy framework from both the central and state governments, position India for significant growth in the coming years.
India boasts a comprehensive end-to-end value chain, from raw material sourcing to finished products. This, combined with a strong domestic raw material base and a growing focus on sustainable and responsible business practices within the manufacturing sector, further enhances India’s appeal to global brands.
The surge in exports also reflects the growing trust and confidence international brands place in “Made-in-India” products. This is particularly evident in the heightened demand observed during the recent festive season.
To further capitalize on this momentum, the AEPC Chairman has urged international buyers to actively participate in the Bharat Tex Expo 2025. This premier event will serve as a pivotal platform to showcase the entire Indian textiles value chain under one roof, providing a comprehensive overview of the industry’s capabilities and offerings.
The successful Bharat Tex Roadshows conducted in various countries have already garnered phenomenal responses from international buyers and retail chains, further solidifying India’s position as a leading player in the global textile market.
