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.

A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at pagerankparlor 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.
Princehag
Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at screenprintshop also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.
Juliusdut
Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at mockupmarket the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.
Emanuelbiz
Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at pinecrate expanded what I will be sharing with them, this is the kind of resource that makes a real difference when you are trying to point a friend to something useful and reliable rather than generic marketing pages.
KobeChoib
Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at pearlvendor cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.
JaxonJex
Really thankful for posts that respect a reader’s time, this one does, and a quick look at trophytrader was the same, no need to scroll through endless intros just to get to the actual content, that approach alone is enough reason to come back here regularly for the kind of writing offered.
SantiagoVem
Glad I gave this fifteen minutes rather than the usual three minute skim, and a look at horrorhubshop earned the same investment, time spent on quality content is rarely wasted but the reverse is also true and learning which sites deserve which kind of attention is part of being a careful online reader.
Eduardotergy
Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at softstall similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.
SergioUnomo
The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at thistletrade 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.
LesterSer
Reading this in a quiet coffee shop matched the calm energy of the writing, and a stop at marblecrate extended that environmental match, content that has its own ambient quality which can match or clash with surroundings is content with a personality and this site has the kind of personality that suits calm reading.
ClarenceAbibe
Top quality material, deserves more attention than it probably gets, and a look at walnutware reflected the same effort across the site, a hidden gem in the modern web where most attention goes to whoever shouts loudest rather than whoever actually delivers the best content for their readers without much marketing fanfare.
Rudolphlob
Worth recognising that the post handled a familiar topic without reaching for any of the obvious hot takes, and a stop at holvex 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.
Tristancearp
Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at nimbuscart produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.
Lloydabife
Now noticing how rare it is to find a site that does not feel rushed, and a look at digestiveaid extended that calm pace, content produced without time pressure has a different quality than content shipped to meet a deadline and this site reads as written without urgency which produces a different and better experience for readers.
Morrisnew
A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure, and a look at tealmarket 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.
LayneFen
Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at boxmingle suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.
Brysonwails
Really liked the calm tone running through the post, no shouting and no urgency forced into the writing, and a look at gpugearhouse kept that quiet confidence going, the kind of voice that makes the reader feel respected rather than yelled at which is depressingly common across most modern blog content these days.
DrewAdhew
Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked fontfarmhouse I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.
GordonCig
This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at northmarket did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.
FrederickTwege
Reading this with a fresh mind in the morning brought out details I might have missed in the afternoon, and a stop at violetbazaar 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.
Patrickundob
A handful of memorable phrases from this one I will probably use later, and a look at hiveloft added a couple more, content that contributes language to my own communication rather than just facts is content with a different kind of utility and this site is providing that linguistic utility consistently across what I read.
HarryTat
Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at deliverdock confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.
Clarencejom
Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at silkbasket 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.
Zackgycle
Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at grainvendor 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.
AshtonPruby
Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at christmascraft extended that problem solving function, content that connects to specific unresolved questions in my own life rather than just providing general interest is content with real practical impact and this site is providing that practical value.
ElmerFut
Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at velvetpick extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.
Diegoglusy
My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at windwarehouse keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.
Jacksonled
Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at standingstation extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.
Rubenfaima
Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at gingergoods confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.
Vernonplefs
Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at coffeecrush confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.
EmeryLeD
Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at rosebazaar 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.
Erikwroth
Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at tubecraze reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.
Gushunty
Skipped to a specific section because I knew that was the question I had, and the answer was clean, and a stop at spiceandsear similarly delivered targeted answers without burying them, content engineered for readers who arrive with specific needs rather than open ended browsing is increasingly valuable in a search heavy reading environment.
Felixder
A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at bathboutique suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.
Hectordreks
Without overstating it this is a quietly excellent post, and a look at marblemarket extended that quiet excellence, content that earns superlatives without demanding them through marketing language is content that has truly earned them through the substance and this site has clearly produced work in that earned excellence category today.
Davidephet
Reading this gave me material for a conversation I needed to have anyway, and a stop at loftlark added even more talking points, content that connects to upcoming social or professional needs rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my attention these days routinely.
RodrigoOxync
Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at quvera confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.
Paulrox
Different feel from the algorithmically optimised posts that dominate the topic, and a stop at taxtrellis reinforced that human touch, you can tell when a site is being run by someone who reads what they publish versus someone just hitting submit and moving on quickly to the next assignment without checking the result.
Jaxonionic
My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at briskparcel keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.
TobySlusY
Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at snowvendor 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.
DustinVon
More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at auravendor 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.
TerranceBub
A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at anchoratlas 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.
VaughnSNASH
Comfortable read, finished it without realising how much time had passed, and a look at lavendercrate pulled me into more pages the same way, the absence of friction in good content lets time disappear and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay any piece of writing I find online during a regular search session.
BuddyJum
Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at benchboutique continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.
Rosstailm
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 trackingterminal 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.
MaxwellHat
Bookmark folder reorganised slightly to make this site easier to find, and a look at woodlandvault 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.
MartinGon
Reading this in my last reading slot of the day was a good way to end, and a stop at pebblecratemart 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.
BlakePicky
Bookmark added with a small mental note that this is a site to keep, and a look at flintvendorhouse reinforced the keep status, the verb keep rather than visit captures something about how I think about this kind of site and it is a higher tier of relationship than I have with most places online today.
Stephenhat
Reading this with a notebook open turned out to be the right move, and a stop at woodmarket added more material to the notes, content that justifies active note taking from a passive reader is content with real informational density and this site is producing notes worthy material at a high rate consistently.
