India’s textiles sector attracted investments and commitments exceeding ₹60,000 crore in 2025, signalling strong momentum that government officials expect to continue through 2026. Growth is being driven by flagship initiatives such as PM MITRA Parks and the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, alongside rising focus on sustainability and technology-led manufacturing.
PM MITRA Parks alone secured committed investments of over ₹14,000 crore, with the potential to generate more than 38,000 jobs, while proposals worth another ₹10,000 crore are under consideration. Major players, including Vardhman, Trident, Best Corp and Bhilossa, have shown interest. Under the revamped PLI scheme, 85 companies have applied, indicating potential investments of over ₹20,000 crore.
Foreign investments also gained traction, with projects announced by Infinited Fibre, RGE, Hyosung, Toray–MAS, and others across Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Odisha. Sustainability-led investments, including textile-to-textile recycling and decarbonisation technologies, are emerging as key growth drivers for the sector.
