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.

This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at designdriftwood kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.

Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at printablepulse extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.
PeterVop
Even across multiple posts the writers voice has remained consistent in a way I appreciate, and a stop at breakfastbay continued that voice, sites that maintain editorial consistency across many pieces have something most sites lack and this one has clearly worked out how to keep its voice steady across what reads as a growing archive.
NoelRen
If I am being honest this is the kind of site I quietly hope my own work will someday resemble, and a stop at grovegarnet extended that aspirational feeling, finding work that models what I want to produce is part of why I read carefully and this site has been performing that modelling function for me lately consistently.
Hermansycle
Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at spookysupply reinforced that defence list, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.

Started believing the writer knew the topic deeply by about the second paragraph, and a look at financefjord 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.
Tatehal
Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at chromecentral 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.
Rogerdox
Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to spicecraftshop 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.
Reginaldfag
Reading this with a fresh mind in the morning brought out details I might have missed in the afternoon, and a stop at serumstation earned the same fresh attention, content that rewards being read at full attention rather than at energy lows is content with real density and this site has that density consistently.
Geoffreywak
A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic, and a look at willowvend reinforced that mild concern, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.
CoryVoila
Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at xobasket 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.
SterlingPlaut
Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at flarion continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.
HarleyTub
The tone stayed consistent across the whole post which is harder than it looks for longer pieces, and a look at watchwarden continued the same voice, this kind of editorial consistency is a sign of either a single careful writer or a tightly run team and either is impressive today across the broader media environment.
PrestonNut
Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at velvetvalley 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.
FinnHog
Found the rhythm of the prose particularly enjoyable on this read through, and a look at analyticsalley kept that musical quality going across the related pages, sentence rhythm is something most blog writers ignore but it makes a real difference in how content lands with the careful reader who cares.
ByronMaile
If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at stablesupply extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.
StanVag
Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to kitchenkite only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.
Forrestthops
Nice to see a post that does not try to overcomplicate the basics for the sake of looking smart, and once I looked at mealprepmarket the same direct tone was there too, which honestly makes a difference when you are short on time and want answers without long pointless intros.
Craigpab
Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at maverickmint kept that comfortable middle ground going, finding a tone that respects the reader without becoming distant or overly familiar is harder than it sounds and this site nails that balance consistently across many different pieces.

A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at pivotpalace maintained the same restraint across pages, knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what to say and this site has clearly developed strong instincts on both sides of that editorial line throughout pieces I have read.
JorgeUnumb
A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at stockstack confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.
Rustyjuh
Skipped the TLDR thinking I would read everything anyway, and ended up enjoying the path through the full post, and a stop at zestycrate similarly rewarded the patient read, summaries are useful but the journey through good writing is part of what makes the destination feel earned rather than just delivered cleanly.
Brucegat
If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at cybercabin extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.
Otisskisk
Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at orderpad confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.
BaronThure
Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at clickcraftshop carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.
CesarRof
Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at tagtides 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.
ClintonSmoor
A nicely understated post that does not shout for attention, and a look at phishproof maintained the same quiet quality, understatement is a stylistic choice that distinguishes serious writing from attention seeking writing and this site has clearly committed to the understated approach as a core editorial value rather than just a phase.
Sergiogak
Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at seosignal continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.
RubenTib
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at jaspercart 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.
MaxEmevy
Now I want to find more sites like this but I suspect they are rare, and a look at floraaisle extended that thought, the few sites that meet this quality bar are precious specifically because they are rare and finding others like them is one of the ongoing projects of careful internet curation across the years.
Kelvincrecy
Now feeling the rare pleasure of trusting a source completely on first encounter, and a look at kelnix extended that initial trust into something more durable, the calibration of trust to evidence is something I do informally and this site has earned high trust through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good posts already.
Robingit
Now understanding why someone recommended this site to me a while back, and a stop at serviq explained the recommendation, sometimes recommendations make sense only after experience and this site has finally clicked into place as the kind of resource I now understand was being recommended for sound editorial reasons by my friend.
VincentCat
Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at rackora 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.
Kaigorse
If a friend asked me where to read carefully on the topic I would send them here without hesitation, and a look at figandfashion confirmed the recommendation strength, the directness of my recommendation reflects how confident I am in the quality and this site has earned undiluted recommendations from me across multiple recent conversations actually.
ArnoldoSeask
Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at gpugearhouse continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.
SteveJuild
Liked how the post handled an objection I was forming as I read, and a stop at moneymagnolia similarly anticipated where my thinking was going next, the rare writer who can predict reader concerns and address them in advance is doing something most online content fails to do despite that being basic editorial work.
Lylepaugs
Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at paranormalparlor reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.
Aleccix
Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at labelloom kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.
Herbertbacle
A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at legendlocker maintained the same restraint across pages, knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what to say and this site has clearly developed strong instincts on both sides of that editorial line throughout pieces I have read.
AlvinClomy
Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at blog44windows confirmed the archive worth the time, the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.
HarleyDog
My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at sheetsierra added more pages to my share queue, content that earns shares to specific people in specific contexts is content with social utility and this site is generating those targeted shares from me consistently lately.
Borislip
Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at garnetdock kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.
Yalebuh
Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at forkandfoundry kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.
Royjeorm
A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing, and a look at heirloomhorizon continued that invisible polish, the best editing disappears into the prose and this site reads as having been edited with skill that does not announce itself which is the highest compliment I can offer any blog content.
TrevorAvacY
Glad I gave this a chance instead of bouncing on the headline, and after fiorvyn I was certain I had made the right call, snap judgements based on titles miss a lot of good content and this is a reminder to slow down and check things out before scrolling past in a hurry.
Ibrahimrails
Bookmark folder reorganised slightly to make this site easier to find, and a look at metatagmart 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.
YaleBet
Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at citystroll 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.
Davonimafe
Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at tervina continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.
