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.

Worth recognising that the post handled a familiar topic without reaching for any of the obvious hot takes, and a stop at lorvinta 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.
Coryerype
Came in skeptical of the angle and left mostly persuaded, and a stop at pivoria pushed me a bit further in the same direction, content that can move a critical reader by argument rather than rhetoric is rare and worth pointing out because it indicates real substance underneath the surface presentation here.
LucasLusia
Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to heliohive I have even more notes saved, this is the kind of resource that pays you back for the time you spend on it which is rare to come across in this corner of the web.
EstevanMeamb
After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at conversioncove reinforced that confidence, the gradual building of trust through repeated quality exposures is the only sustainable way to develop reader loyalty and this site is building that loyalty in me through patient consistent work consistently.
JimTug
Worth marking the moment when reading this clicked into something useful for my own work, and a look at pcpartspal extended that practical click, content that connects to my actual life rather than just being interesting is content with the highest kind of value and this site is generating that connection at a high rate.
GavinHug
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 nooknarrative 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.
Bertramhet
Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at webvault added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.
WarrenRag
Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing, and a stop at softseed reinforced that discovery quality, the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.
CoreyOnece
Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at slatekit confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.
Milesbak
Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at linkloomshop kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.
JuanPES
A quiet piece that did not try to compete on volume, and a look at doctorahmed maintained that selective approach, sites that publish less but better are increasingly rare in an environment that rewards volume and this one has clearly chosen quality cadence over quantity which is a brave editorial decision in current conditions.
Kadegal
My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at latchlogic pulled me back a third time, the actual return rate to bookmarked sites is the real measure of value and this one is clearing that measure at a notable rate already.
Davidtah
Glad the writer did not feel the need to argue with imaginary critics in the post itself, and a stop at formulafoundry kept the same focused approach going, defensive writing wastes the reader time and confidence on positions that did not need defending and this post has clearly avoided that common failure.
Kobepoono
Worth flagging that the post handled an angle of the topic I had not seen elsewhere, and a look at blog66pain extended that fresh treatment, content that finds underexplored corners of well covered subjects is genuinely valuable and this site has demonstrated that exploratory editorial approach across multiple pieces in my reading sessions today.
Carlgew
Now noticing that the post did not mention the writer at all, focus stayed on the topic, and a look at softalpha continued that author absent quality, content that disappears the writer to focus on the substance is a particular kind of generosity and this site has clearly chosen the substance over the personality consistently.
ShawnOpero
I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at zestzeny the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.
HarveyKeymn
Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at roamroot extended that brightness, content that improves a hard day is content that has earned a particular kind of place in my reading habits and this site is occupying that uplifting role for me today which I appreciate clearly.
Adrianses
Thanks for laying this out in a way that someone newer to the topic can follow, and a stop at logicloft kept that accessibility going, writing that meets readers at different experience levels without condescending is hard to do well and the writers here have clearly thought about who they are writing for.
Stevenrab
Most of the time I feel the open web is in decline and then I find a site like this, and a stop at domainward reinforced that mood lift, the cumulative effect of finding occasional excellent independent content versus the cumulative effect of finding mostly mediocre content is real for the long term reader maintaining web habits today.
ReneFAW
Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at partyparcel extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.
CainKab
A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure, and a look at devsummit continued that intellectual honesty, content that admits the limits of its scope is more trustworthy than content that pretends to total understanding and this site has the right calibration on certainty consistently.
JulioBuh
Picked a single sentence from this post to remember, and a look at blog33much gave me another to keep, content that produces memorable lines is doing more than just transferring information and the small selection of sentences I keep from each reading session is one of the actual returns I get from reading carefully.
Gregoryflomb
Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at shiftgrid 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.
MiltonBrorm
Picked this up between two other things I was doing and got drawn in completely, and after stackgrid my original tasks were completely forgotten for a while, content that derails a workflow in a positive way by being more interesting than what you were already doing is rare and worth recognising clearly.
VernonCon
Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to ghostgear I have even more notes saved, this is the kind of resource that pays you back for the time you spend on it which is rare to come across in this corner of the web.
TravisWrown
Glad the writer kept this short rather than padding it out, the points stand on their own without needing extra context, and a look at instainsights kept the same approach going, brevity is a sign of confidence in the substance and the team here clearly trusts their content to land without filler.
Nicolastuh
I usually skim posts like these but this one held my attention all the way through, and a stop at threepanel did the same, that is a strong endorsement coming from me because I am usually quick to bounce when content gets repetitive or fails to deliver on its initial promise made in the headline.
Danheasp
Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at spiceandsear reinforced that plan, choosing the right moment to read certain content is a quiet form of respect for the work and this site is generating those careful planning behaviours from me consistently as a reader.
LedgerEmugh
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at willowwhisper kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.
Samrib
Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at webfactor extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.
Donaldtoips
Reading this prompted me to dig into a related topic later, and a stop at dashboarddock provided some of the starting points for that follow up reading, content that triggers further exploration rather than satisfying curiosity completely is content with real generative energy and this site has plenty of that energy throughout it.
Mattassob
Now feeling confident enough in this site to use it as a reference point for evaluating others on the same topic, and a look at supersignal continued the comparison friendly quality, sites that serve as quality benchmarks for their topic are precious and this one has clearly become a benchmark for me on this particular subject area.
DwayneNix
Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at joltdash kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.
Omarprunk
Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at xenoapp continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.
Griffinindup
Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post, and a stop at blog44fly confirmed the rest of the site packs a similar punch, density without confusion is a hard balance to strike and this site has clearly cracked the code on it across many different topic areas covered.
ArnoldoDip
Bookmark folder reorganised slightly to make this site easier to find, and a look at mintmarketry earned the same accessibility upgrade, the small organisational moves I make for sites I expect to return to often are themselves a signal of how much I trust them and this site triggered those moves naturally.
Freddienab
Glad I clicked through from where I did because this turned out to be worth the time spent, and after nexusnode I had a fuller picture, the kind of content that earns its visitors through delivering value rather than chasing them through aggressive advertising or constant pop ups appearing everywhere on the screen lately.
KieranTem
Liked how the writer used real examples instead of theoretical ones to make the points stick, and a stop at raynverve added even more concrete examples, this is the kind of practical approach that respects readers who actually want to apply what they learn rather than just nodding along passively without doing anything useful.
Waynelex
Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at runroute kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
ClydeNug
Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at servosource extended that wish across more subjects, the rarity of careful coverage on most topics is a problem and this site is one of the small antidotes to that broader pattern of casual or surface treatment of complex subjects.
Floyddaw
Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at posterpalace kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.
DanielItasp
Bookmark added in three places to make sure I do not lose the link, and a look at publishparlor 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.

Siedze tu od pol roku mniej wiecej, to chyba wystarczy zeby sie wypowiedziec. Podrzucil mi link kolega z pracy, ktory wczesniej siedzial na innym serwisie. Biblioteka gier na 888starz mocno mnie zaskoczyla — mowimy o ponad 4000 automatow, choc umowmy sie polowy nigdy nie odpalisz. Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO i NetEnt zajmuja wiekszosc polki, Gates of Olympus i Sweet Bonanza sa na pierwszym miejscu w popularnych.
Oferta na start to standardowo 100% do pierwszego depozytu plus jakies 30 free spinow. Przy zakladaniu konta z kodem warunki sa odrobine lepsze. Natomiast jedna rzecz mnie wkurzyla — obrot bonusem to x40, w dodatku czas leci szybko. Ja przy pierwszym podejsciu nie wyrobilem. Biezace oferty sprawdzisz na [url=https://kirunatvattcenter.se/888starz-ios-download-kompletny-przewodnik-po-instalacji-bonusie-i-platnosciach-dla-polskich-graczy]888starz iOS download – kompletny przewodnik po instalacji, bonusie i płatnościach dla polskich graczy[/url] jesli ktos chce porownac.
Wplaty startuja od jakichs 20 zlotych, sa karty, e-portfele, no i krypto. Ja wyplacam w krypto bo schodzi w kilkanascie minut. Kasa z 888starz na portfele przychodzi w kilka godzin, ale na karte potrafi zejsc i 2-3 dni. Bez skanu dowodu nie wyplacisz — u mnie zeszlo jakies 12 godzin.
Live to w wiekszosci Evolution i naprawde czuc roznice. Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette, blackjack — obraz nie tnie nawet na LTE. Szkoda tylko ze po polsku prawie nic nie ma. Na telefonie wszystko smiga w przegladarce, jest tez apka na Androida.
Czat na 888starz jest po polsku choc czasem widac kalki jezykowe. Odpowiedz przychodzi w kilka minut. Licencja to Curacao, co dla czesci osob bedzie minusem. Dla mnie liczy sie ze placa, ale trzeba miec to z tylu glowy.
Jacobron
Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at webgrove extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.
Bertramtug
Will share this on a forum I am part of where it will be appreciated by others working in the same area, and a look at wirelessward suggests there is more here worth passing along too, definitely a generous resource that deserves a wider audience than it probably has today across the open internet.
CarmeloSpila
Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at sitemapstudio extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.
BrandonImift
Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at saleandstyle only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.
Terrellwrelp
Now realising the post has been quietly doing important work in my mind for the past hour, and a stop at quoravia extended that quiet processing, content that continues to do work after I close the tab is content with afterlife in the mind and this site is producing those long lived effects at a meaningful rate.
RaulCew
Now considering carefully how to share this site with the right audience rather than broadcasting widely, and a look at wellnessward extended that careful sharing impulse, content worth sharing carefully rather than spamming is content that has earned a higher kind of recommendation and this site has earned that careful shareability throughout pieces.
IanPem
The headings made navigating the post simple even when I needed to find a specific section quickly, and a look at carryoncorner continued the same thoughtful structure, small details like clear headings show that someone is actually thinking about how the reader uses the page rather than just filling it for length alone.
