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.

Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at latchbasket 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.
AsherBoirl
Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at uplandmarket confirmed that comparison, the bar for free content is often lower than for paid but this site clears the paid bar consistently and that says something about the editorial approach behind the work being published here regularly.
Luisres
Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at breakfastboulevard continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.
PorterEpide
Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at tealbazaar continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.
TobyAdazy
My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at growthgearhouse 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.
Nashram
Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at mossaisle continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.
Emersoncef
Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it, and a look at silverbazaar reinforced that impression, the difference between recited content and considered content is huge and this site clearly belongs to the latter category which I appreciate as a careful reader looking for substance.
Morrisnar
Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists, and a look at tidecrate extended that gratitude, the rare site that produces this kind of response is the rare site worth defending in conversations about whether the modern internet is still capable of producing genuinely valuable independent content for serious adults.
Leviarten
Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at ivorymarket earned the same careful approach, the few sites that warrant slower reading are sites I now treat differently from the daily content stream and this one has clearly moved into that elevated treatment category.
ZaneEnara
Appreciated how the post felt complete without overstaying its welcome, and a stop at traveltrunkshop confirmed that economical approach runs across the site, knowing when to stop is a skill many writers never develop but here the discipline is obvious and welcome from the perspective of a busy reader trying to learn things efficiently.
WarrenTal
Just sat back at the end of the post and felt grateful that someone took the time to write it, and a look at echoaislecorner extended that gratitude across more of the site, recognising effort behind quality work is part of what makes the open web a community rather than just a marketplace today.
phjlpgcasino
Best experience so far! The bonuses are actually fair and the payout process is way faster than other sites I’ve tried. Cheers to phjlpgcasino!
Donnytooro
Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at driftdomain reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.
ThomasBed
Now appreciating that the post left me with enough to say in a follow up conversation, and a look at crystalcart added more material for those follow ups, content that prepares me for related conversations rather than just informing me alone is content with social utility and this site provides that social armament reliably for me.
Jeffunore
Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at gingercratehouse 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.

Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at yolkmarket extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.
Nicholasseany
Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at alpineaisle confirmed the same depth runs throughout the rest of the site as well which is rare and worth pointing out when it happens online for any reader passing through.
HermanuNibe
Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at yarrowcrate extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.
TerryEnuts
Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at hazelaisle confirmed the same understated polish, sites whose quality reveals itself slowly rather than announcing itself loudly are the kind I trust more deeply because the trust is not based on first impressions of marketing but actual substance.
FranciscoBlall
Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at woodwarehouse extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.
MattVek
Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at sagecrate extended that craft pleasure, sentence level writing quality is something most blog content ignores entirely and this site has clearly invested in the prose layer alongside the substance which is rare today.
Harrysoino
Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at sagevendorhouse added more of the same, content with quiet utility ages well in a way that flashy hot takes do not and I have learned to weight quiet utility much higher when deciding what to bookmark for later use.
Nelsonjak
Glad the writer did not feel the need to argue with imaginary critics in the post itself, and a stop at kestrelcrate 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.
Aleccox
Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at trendparcel earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.

Посоветуйте сервис накрутку реакций на посты в тг качественно. Нужны были живые реакции без ботов. Работают тут: [url=https://nakrutka-reakcij-v-tg-1050.ru]nakrutka-reakcij-v-tg-1050.ru[/url]. Заказал — без нареканий. Норм вариант.
JamieIroda
Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at keplora confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.
BarryFek
Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at islemint provided ammunition for a third share, content that suits multiple audiences without being generic enough to be useless to any of them is genuinely valuable and this site has that multi audience quality clearly.
Lesterbaide
Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at wardivo adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.
RonnieVef
My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at junocrate 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.
MalcolmNes
I usually skim posts like these but this one held my attention all the way through, and a stop at dawnvendoroutlet 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.
Allenidege
Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at tervina kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.
Miltondut
Reading this gave me confidence to make a decision I had been putting off, and a stop at nightroutine reinforced that confidence, content that translates into action in my own life rather than just informing it is content with the highest practical value and this site is generating that action level utility for me lately.
JaceGed
A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at modmosaic carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.
Mattfaips
Speaking as someone who reads a lot on this topic this site has earned a high position in my source rankings, and a stop at rosevendorstudio reinforced that ranking, the informal ranking of sources for a topic is something I maintain mentally and this site has moved into the upper portion of those rankings clearly.
Eliasjef
Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at knifeandfork extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.
DaquanMit
Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week, and a look at autumncratecorner 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.
Gregwange
A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at vionvogue carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.
ArnoldoNatrY
Really grateful for content like this, it does not waste my time and it does not insult my intelligence either, and a quick look at acornaisle was the same, balanced respectful writing that makes a person feel welcome rather than rushed through pages of forced engagement just to keep clicking around.
Gordonlop
Started taking notes about halfway through because the points were stacking up, and a look at shorerack added enough material that my notes file grew further, content that demands note taking from a passive reader is content with substance and the writers here are clearly producing that kind of work consistently across topics.
Angeloememe
Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at budgetbreeze confirmed that comparison, the bar for free content is often lower than for paid but this site clears the paid bar consistently and that says something about the editorial approach behind the work being published here regularly.
Eduardodiarp
Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at auroramarket adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.
NathanielSpeda
Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at junopick 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.
Oscarchert
Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at skyvendor maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.
WilburEvoky
Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at satinrack confirmed the same depth runs throughout the rest of the site as well which is rare and worth pointing out when it happens online for any reader passing through.
HoseaMic
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at corewebvitals maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.
RolandBeasy
However measured this site clears the bar I set for sites I take seriously, and a stop at irevana continued clearing that bar, the metrics I use for site quality are admittedly informal but they are consistent and this site has cleared them on multiple measurements across multiple visits which is meaningful for my evaluation.
EverettFoesy
A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at curtaincraft suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics, sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.
Chandlerrom
Going to share this with a friend who has been asking the same questions for a while now, and a stop at silvervendorstudio added a few more pages I will pass along too, this is the kind of generous information that earns a small thank you from me right now and again later this week.
DarrellStync
A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at granitevendoroutlet maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.
