5 Years of National Technical Textiles Mission:
India’s textile industry plays a crucial role in the national economy and has evolved into a hub of innovation. The country ranks as the 6th largest textile exporter globally, holding a 3.9% share in world textile exports. Contributing nearly 2% to the GDP, the sector is projected to expand to $350 billion by 2030, generating approximately 3.5 crore jobs. While traditional textiles remain fundamental, the rise of technical textiles is transforming the industry. These specialized fabrics prioritize functionality over aesthetics and are categorized into 12 types, serving diverse industries such as agriculture, healthcare, construction, and safety.
