The government has reported that India’s exports of major textile commodities grew by 5.37% to $3.10 billion in July 2025, compared to $2.94 billion in the same period last year. This growth trajectory is occurring despite global uncertainties, reaffirming the sector’s role as a key driver of employment and economic growth. The total exports of the six major textile groups in July exceeded $3.1 billion, demonstrating the sector’s resilience against mixed global trade conditions.
The momentum was significantly driven by sustained demand in ready-made garments, jute, carpets, and handicrafts. Ready-made garment exports specifically saw a 4.75% growth in July 2025. The cumulative textile exports from April to July 2025 rose by 3.87% to $12.18 billion compared to the previous year. The article attributes this positive performance to India’s diversified product strength, which includes everything from cotton and MMF-based textiles to traditional handicrafts and eco-friendly jute.
