After achieving a staggering 30 percent growth during the pandemic year 2021-22, the government has almost doubled the target for India’s plastics exports for the period 2024-25.
Despite Covid-related lockdowns at the beginning of the financial year, 2021-22, and supply chain disruptions thereafter, exports not only recovered in the second half but thrived and witnessed an emphatic growth. Consequently, India’s plastics exports which hovered between US$ 9 and 11 billion for the past several years, jumped sharply to US$ 13 billion in the financial year 2021-22.
Encouraged by this performance, India’s Commerce and Industry minister Piyush Goyal set a target of US$ 16 billion for the current financial year i.e. 2022-23, and US$ 25 billion for the financial year 2024-25.
While speaking on the sidelines of the Export Excellence Award hosted by the Plastics Export Promotion Council (Plexconcil), Goyal said on Saturday, “The Indian plastics industry has done well on the exports and domestic fronts and contributed significantly during the pandemic, particularly in supporting healthcare supplies to the country. The central government was supporting the plastics manufacturers, particularly to ensure that more Medium, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) should take the advantage of national and global market opportunities and provide more job opportunities to marginalized sectors.”
The Commerce and Industry Minister also urged the stakeholders of the Indian plastics industry to upgrade technology, equipment, and capacities to manufacture world-class, quality products and grab global opportunities for plastics to become the prime player. Goyal also stressed the need for sustainability by engaging in environment-friendly practices for plastics recycling.
Emphasizing the need for India to become 'aatmanirbhar', the minister exhorted the plastics industry to reduce import dependence and become the world’s premium supply hub. With a significant growth potential exists, Goyal asked the industry to continue its growth momentum in the future also.
The Indian plastics industry recorded a total volume of imports worth US$17 billion, around US$4 billion higher than the total value of exports. This means, there is a clear market for the domestic industry not only to capture the local markets with import substitution but also to accelerate exports.
“With an economy growing at 7-8 percent for the next 25 years, I am sure making the plastics industry a US$ 100 billion industry in the next 4-5 years is very much achievable. We must aspire to reach that level,” said Goyal.
The Minister set a target for the domestic plastics industry to treble its size to Rs 10 lakh crore in the next 4-5 years from the level of Rs 3 lakh crore now. This tremendous growth will provide huge employment opportunities to the youth, especially in the MSME sector, with the potential to provide jobs to the aspirants from the marginalized sections who have been left behind in the development cycle.
Speaking to Polymerupdate, Arvind Goenka, Chairman, Plexconcil, said, “India has signed a duty-concessional trade agreement with Saudi Arabia and Australia recently and also in the process to sign a similar agreement with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region and other developed and developing nations. Trade agreements especially those of the Gulf countries would help us tap many African markets where we see a huge potential for growth in India’s plastics exports. The industry will strive to achieve all these targets set by the government, of course, with enabling policy support.”
Instituted to felicitate exporters who achieved remarkable growth in India’s plastics exports, the Export Excellence Award will certainly encourage recipients to increase the shipment of value-added plastics products. The award will also encourage other players to tap new potential customers in the overseas markets.
“On the exports front, the Indian plastics industry is targeting the traditional markets of North America and Europe and also the emerging markets like Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, the Oceania countries among others. But, there is an immense opportunity lies for the Indian plastics industry to explore business potential in other markets also,” said Sribash Dasmohapatra, Executive Director, Plexconcil.
With adequate impetus from the government, the plastics industry is transforming from a linear to a circular economy benefitting all stakeholders.

Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at reliablecorporatealliances extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.
GlenRar
Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week, and a look at sustainablegrowthpartners added a few more I will be testing alongside, content with practical hooks that connect to my actual life is the kind that earns my repeat attention rather than the merely interesting that I forget within a day.
Oliversaf
A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at everydayonlinepurchase extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.
Roccophymn
Bookmark earned, share earned, return visit earned, all from one reading session, and a look at globalenterprisealliances did the same, the trifecta of bookmark and share and return is rare in a single visit and represents the highest level of engagement I tend to offer any piece of online content these days here.
GuillermoNuasp
A piece that did not require external context to follow, and a look at cohesionbond maintained the same self contained quality, content that stands alone without forcing readers to chase prerequisites is more accessible and this site has clearly thought about how each piece can serve a fresh visitor rather than only existing members.
OmarBathe
During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at buildmomentumonline extended that perfect fit into the rest of the routine, content that matches the rhythm of how I actually read rather than demanding accommodation from my schedule is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has it.

If quality blog writing is dying as people sometimes claim then this site is one piece of evidence that it has not died yet, and a look at globalcommercialalliances extended that evidence, the broader cultural question about online writing has empirical answers in specific sites and this one is contributing to a more optimistic answer overall.
Masonneept
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at toptenufabetgames continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.
Marvinmob
Came back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at wildthistlemarket suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.
Jacegen
Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at secureecommercebuying kept that trust intact, when a site lives up to its own framing it earns the right to keep showing up in my browser tabs going forward indefinitely from here on out really.
EdmundFem
The pacing of the post was just right, never rushed and never dragged out unnecessarily, and a look at mindfulwellnesshq maintained the same rhythm, you can tell the writer has experience because the difficult skill of pacing is something only practiced writers manage to handle well in long form content over time and across formats.
Sheldonraito
Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at clicktoexploreinnovations fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.
GordonMex
Just wanted to say this was useful and leave a small note of thanks, and a quick visit to discovernewmarketangles earned a similar nod from me, the small acknowledgements add up over time and represent the real economy of trust that good content runs on across the open and increasingly fragmented modern internet.
FelixDor
Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at reliabledealshoppingplace continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.
Raytog
My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at discoverstrategicoptions confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.
DevinRen
Saving the link for sure, this one is a keeper, and a look at professionalcollaborationhub confirmed I should bookmark the entire site rather than just this page, the consistency across what I have seen so far suggests there is a lot more here worth coming back for soon when I have more time.
RolandoErolf
Adding this site to my regular reading list, the post earned that on its own, and a quick stop at futurefocusedalliances sealed the decision, the kind of place worth checking back with from time to time because it consistently produces material that holds up against a critical reading too which I really value.
MattRes
Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic, and a stop at growwithinformedchoices pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources, the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.
AronJow
If I had to defend the time I spend reading independent blogs this site would feature in the defence, and a look at clickforgrowthinsights reinforced that defensive utility, the ongoing case for non algorithmic reading is one I make to myself periodically and sites like this one provide the actual evidence that supports the case clearly.
Keatonnaf
My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at dailyshoppingpoint extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.
Maxjarge
Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at discoverprofessionalinsights maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.
MarkMup
Reading this prompted me to dig out an old reference book related to the topic, and a stop at digitalbuyingexperience extended that connection to other sources, content that connects me back to my own existing knowledge rather than asking me to forget it is content with continuity and this site has that continuous quality.
YaleGauts
Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at urbanretailshoppingzone only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.
TerryLug
Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at longtermpartnershipnetwork continued that good feeling, content that leaves you better than it found you is rare and worth bookmarking when you stumble across it for the first time today or any other day really.
MosesLen
Decided to write a short note to the author if there is contact info anywhere, and a stop at modernonlineshoppinghub extended that intention, the urge to thank the writer directly is a strong signal of content quality and this site has triggered that urge in me today which is a fairly rare event for my reading.
Roccoher
If I were to recommend a starting point for the topic this site would be near the top of my list, and a stop at trustedcommercialbonds reinforced that recommendation status, the small list of starting point recommendations I keep for friends asking about topics is short and this site is now firmly on it.
ShermanJovog
Considered as a whole this site has developed a coherent point of view that comes through in individual pieces, and a look at buildsmarterdecisions continued displaying that coherence, sites with a unified perspective rather than a grab bag of takes are sites with editorial maturity and this one has clearly developed that maturity through years of work.
Finngot
Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at modegenerlshub only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.
MarcoscoitY
Worth recognising that the post handled a familiar topic without reaching for any of the obvious hot takes, and a stop at securecommercialalliances continued that fresh treatment, sites that find new angles on subjects others have exhausted are sites worth following carefully and this one has clearly developed that exploratory instinct through patient practice.
Gregorygen
Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here, the foundation laid is solid, and a stop at collectiveanchor would round out their understanding nicely, this is the kind of resource I would point a friend toward without hesitation if they asked me where to begin learning about anything in this area.
Johnniedrusa
Reading this in my last reading slot of the day was a good way to end, and a stop at topufabetgames provided a satisfying close to the reading session, content that ends a day well rather than agitating it before sleep is the kind I value increasingly and this site fits that role for me consistently now.
DonaldKex
Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at modernonlinepurchase suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.
RonaldBog
Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after nextlevelshoppingexperience I had even more to chew on, the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.
RomanDob
My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at customerfirstshoppinghub extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.
KeaganHom
Bookmark folder created specifically for this site, and a look at longtermstrategicalliances confirmed the dedicated folder was the right call, dedicated folders for individual sites are a level of organisation I rarely deploy and this site has earned that level of dedicated tracking based on the consistency I have seen so far across sessions.
Ibrahimhauts
Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at sunweaveboutique suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.
Duncangob
Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at smartconsumerbuyingzone maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.
Lorenzoham
Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at globalonlinebuyinghub added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.
BradleyHew
Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at businessrelationshipplatform produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.
GeraldArize
A piece that read smoothly because the writer understood how readers actually move through prose, and a look at buyinghubonline maintained the same reader awareness, writers who think about the reading experience as much as the writing experience produce better work and this site has clearly made that shift in editorial approach.
Konnorbix
Skipped the social share buttons but might come back to actually use one later, and a stop at learnandgrowdigitally extended that share urge, content that triggers genuine sharing impulses rather than performative ones is content that has actually moved me and not many posts in a typical week do that for me actually.
SeanLom
Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at trustedcorporateconnections kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.
WesleyArrem
Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at discoverbetterpaths added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.
LucaSNONA
Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at clicktoexploreinnovations confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.
DravenJob
Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at smartpurchaseecosystem reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.
SamuelTeact
Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at clickforbusinesslearning kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.
AsherGoock
Grateful for posts like this one, they remind me there are still places online run by people who care about quality, and a look at learnfuturefocusedskills reflected the same standards, you can tell the difference between content made for readers and content made just for search engines today and this is the former.
KendallJah
Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at learnfromexpertinsights confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.
Kadescata
More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at clicktolearnandgrow confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.
