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.

I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at blog33prove added even more useful detail without going off topic, this site clearly knows how to keep things focused without sacrificing depth which is a hard balance to strike for any writer.
Sidneymaf
Reading this on a phone at a coffee shop and finding it perfectly suited to that context, and a stop at blog33and continued the comfortable mobile experience, content that works across reading conditions without compromising on substance is increasingly important and this site has clearly thought about the whole reader experience here.
Saulled
Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at lumakit did the same, content that earns sustained attention in an environment full of distractions is doing something right and this site is clearly doing several things right rather than just one or two which I really appreciate.
Reggiesharl
Now considering whether the post would translate well into a different form, and a look at bridgethuffman suggested similar versatility, content that could move into other media without losing its substance is content that has been built around ideas rather than around format and this site reads as idea first throughout posts.
Noahrix
Bookmark added in three places to make sure I do not lose the link, and a look at devsavanna got the same redundant treatment, sites I am afraid to lose are the rare keepers and this is clearly one of them based on what I have read so far across this and a couple of related posts.
Daquanobess
Started believing the writer knew the topic deeply by about the second paragraph, and a look at logiccore reinforced that confidence, the speed at which a writer establishes credibility through their writing is a useful quality signal and this writer establishes it quickly and quietly without resorting to credential dropping or self promotion.
Lucasflell
Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at blog33movement added more details to think about, this is exactly the kind of content I bookmark for future reference rather than the throwaway listicles that dominate most search results these days for almost any common topic.
DerrickInpup
If you asked me to point to a recent positive sign for the open web this site would be near the top, and a stop at blog44he reinforced that designation, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce quality independent content are precious and this one has clearly become one for me.
GregserRy
A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at appreef maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.
Tadmus
Reading this gave me a small framework I expect to use going forward, and a stop at gobblegalagalaxy extended that framework, content that produces transferable mental models rather than just specific facts is content with multiplicative value and this site is providing those models at a rate that justifies extra attention from me regularly.
MosesTon
The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at blog66food kept that calibration going, getting the depth right for blog format is genuinely difficult because too shallow loses experts and too deep loses beginners but this site nailed it nicely which I really do appreciate.
SimonFirTy
Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at boldtrend added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.
AndyAmurN
Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at bethanymcintyre kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.
Victorspuch
Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at devfalls extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
MilesMat
Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at softfusion kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.
Bobfurgy
Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at azarfashion 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.
DravenSkync
Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at webultimate kept that pulling effect going across more pages, the kind of subtle pull that good writing exerts on attention is something I find harder and harder to resist when I encounter it on the open web today.
GermanNap
The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at motiondriver kept that approachable expertise going, finding the right register for technical content is hard but this site has clearly figured out how to sound knowledgeable without slipping into that distant lecturing tone that loses readers in droves every time.
Shawnpoups
Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at joshuajones 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.
Noahrix
Now recognising that this site has earned a place in the small group of resources I treat as authoritative, and a stop at devsavanna confirmed that placement, the difference between resources I trust and resources I just consume is real and this site has clearly moved into the trusted category through consistent quality over time.
ReggieMic
Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at appgarden maintained the same balance, knowing when to assert and when to acknowledge uncertainty is a sign of mature thinking and the writers here have clearly developed that calibration through what I assume is years of careful work on their craft.
BeauMibra
Reading this in pieces during a long afternoon and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at vertoverse fit naturally into the same fragmented reading pattern, sites whose posts can be read in segments without losing the thread are well suited to how I actually read these days and this one is built well.
Heathdieme
Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets, and a stop at blog44how extended that elevated framing, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is serving a quiet but important editorial function for the broader cultural conversation about it.
Bobbyfleef
Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at sablefernshop added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.
BrettScary
Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at progressmovesdeliberately reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.
Stewartfloaw
Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at softorchard confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.
Bertswipt
Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to opalcloud kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.
DamianVem
Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at vincentmorrison kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.
Landonbaw
Now recognising the post as a rare example of careful writing on a topic that mostly receives careless treatment, and a stop at saasselect extended that contrast with the average elsewhere, content that highlights how much the average is settling for low quality is content that has both internal merit and external value as a benchmark.
Brendaneruth
If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at devreef extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.
Jamelcak
More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at blog66civil 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.
Arnoldbus
During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at utama88a continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.
Landonmandy
Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at appfactor kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.
Daviondot
Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance, and a stop at zestlink maintained the same restraint, knowing when to be serious is a rare editorial virtue and this site has clearly developed it through what I assume is careful editorial practice over years.
Tylerhek
Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at blog33night continued that complete feel, content that does not invite obvious additions or corrections from readers is content that has been carefully considered and this site appears to consistently produce pieces that satisfy rather than provoke unnecessary follow ups.
Byronorets
Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at lynxlogic suggested I will share more from here later, content worth sharing into a professional context is content that has earned a higher kind of trust than mere personal interest and this site has it.
Thomaspaw
Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at tactpixel earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.
Tyroneroura
The lack of unnecessary jargon made the post accessible without sacrificing accuracy, and a look at halohaveny continued in the same accessible style, technical topics often hide behind specialised vocabulary but here the writer trusts the reader to keep up with plain language and that trust pays off nicely throughout the entire post.
MattTramy
Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at longtermalliances confirmed that permanent status, the difference between durable bookmarks and ephemeral ones is something I have learned to feel quickly and this site triggered the durable feeling almost immediately during my first read here.
BlakeLAg
Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at bondprimex added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.
CainImaph
Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at blog33current reinforced that immediate quality, content that does not require a slow careful read to demonstrate value but rewards one anyway is content with real depth and this site has produced work of that demanding depth class.
Mikemow
Took me back a step or two on an assumption I had been making, and a stop at ordersure pushed that reconsideration further, writing that gently corrects the reader without being aggressive about it is a rare diplomatic skill and the team here clearly knows how to land critical points without turning readers off.

Griffinnof
A satisfying piece in the way that good meals are satisfying rather than just filling, and a look at blog33race extended that satisfaction, the metaphor between content and meals is one I find useful and this site reads as a satisfying meal rather than the empty calories that most content provides for casual readers.
Codyjaism
Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at heliodomain continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.
Landonmandy
Stands apart from similar pages by actually being useful, that is high praise these days, and a look at appfactor kept that standard going, you can tell when a site is built around the reader versus around metrics and this one clearly belongs to the first category for sure based on what I read.
ColinAbids
Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at urbanspot confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.
Tobyideks
Clean writing, easy to read, and never tries too hard to impress, that combination is harder to find than people think, and after my time on growthnavigator I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.
JosiahIteds
Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at readyperk confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.
NelsonEnumn
Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at softvalley confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.
