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.

Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at opalgrainoutlet 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.
LayneMuh
Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at lunarfieldgoods 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.
DomenicCex
A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at eveningorchard 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.
MiguelFrack
Looking through the archives suggests this site has been doing this for a while at this level, and a look at firstanchor confirmed the long term consistency, sites that have maintained quality across years rather than just a recent stretch are sites with serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly been at it for a while.
Geraldurics
Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at harborlightmarket similarly rewarded reflective time, content that benefits from sitting with rather than racing past is the kind I want more of and the kind that this site appears to consistently produce week after week here.
LionelTully
Halfway through I knew I would finish the post, and a stop at highridgeoutlet also held me through to the end, content that signals its quality early and then sustains it is content with real internal consistency and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain quality from opening sentence through to closing thought.
KendallRah
Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at clickignite produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.
MicahSnasp
In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at midpointbond extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.
Abrahamkep
Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at vigilantbond continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.
Ryanatolf
Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at coreward 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.
BrockBef
Now setting up a small reminder to revisit the site on a slow day, and a stop at lunarharvestmarket confirmed the reminder was a good idea, planning return visits is a small organisational act that signals trust in ongoing quality and this site has earned that planned return through consistent performance across the pieces I have read so far.
Matthewdrymn
Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at concordbonding hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.
HoseaRox
Saving the link for sure, this one is a keeper, and a look at northstarbond confirmed I should bookmark the entire site rather than just this page, the consistency across what I have seen so far suggests there is a lot more here worth coming back for soon when I have more time.
Tobyhar
A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at mosslightemporium 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.
Lawsondiamy
Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at bondhorizon confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.
Cassidytug
Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at quantumbond added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.
Quinnsonna
Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at bondcapital only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.
Trentdrupt
Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at bondstable continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.
KentNar
Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at sunriftgoods reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.
GregoryPoedo
Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at smartbuyingcorner sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.
MosesFug
My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at willowforgeemporium 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.
Lincolnnoump
Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at createbetteroutcomes continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.
EdgarKic
Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at bestshoppingchoice 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.
Zanebot
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at integrabond 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.
Terrencelek
Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at premiumshoppingzone similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.
YusufOmins
Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at quietstoneboutique 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.
DarnellFug
Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at stablegroundbond only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.
BlakeBap
Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at emberstoneboutique 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.
Paxtoncem
If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at forwardthinkingclick 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.
Donaldkib
A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at puretrustbond continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.
JohnCrage
Felt mildly happier after reading, which sounds silly but is true, and a look at assurancebonded extended that small mood lift, content that improves rather than degrades my mental state is content I want more of and the cumulative effect of reading sites that lift versus sites that drag is real over time.
LeviCiz
Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at confluencebond confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.
EmmettHef
Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at hollowcreekoutlet reinforced that quiet protective feeling, the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.
KerryAluck
Decided I would read the archives over the weekend, and a stop at corecapital confirmed that the archives would be worth the time, very few sites have archives I would actively read through but this one has earned that level of interest based on the consistent quality across what I have sampled so far.
CordellMek
The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at trustedlegacy continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.
HughSluct
In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at bondlynx extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.
GriffinEmest
Started believing the writer knew the topic deeply by about the second paragraph, and a look at midnightcovegoods 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.
JeremiahSpild
Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at embercoastmarket 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.
Melvinbar
Honest opinion is that this is the kind of post that builds long term trust with readers, and a look at clicktoscaleideas reinforced that perception, the slow accumulation of trust through consistent quality is the only sustainable way to build a real audience and this site is clearly playing that long game.
RodolfoNet
Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic, and a stop at quietorchardstore pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources, the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.
Kyrietries
If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at ambertrailgoods 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.
Troykem
Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at bondsolid 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.
Oliverlat
Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at bondtrusty 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.
mostbet_ooKl
Слушайте кто в теме А поддержка молчит как рыба Искал долго, перепробовал кучу вариантов Короче, работает стабильно и честно — mostbet kg лучший букмекер Всё летает как часы В общем, там все подробности — kazino mosbet [url=https://mostbet-qap.com.kg]kazino mosbet[/url] Только mostbet реально рулит Перешлите тому кто тоже ищет нормальную контору
CedricVob
Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to bondedmeridian confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.
AnthonySix
Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at trusteddealstore confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.
Normanorirl
Genuinely well crafted writing, the kind that makes the topic look easier than it actually is, and a look at opalwildoutlet added even more depth, you can feel the experience behind every line which is something only writers who have been at this for a while can pull off with this level of grace.
ConnerDuh
Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at hollowridgeemporium pulled me deeper into the site than I planned, the writing has a way of holding attention without resorting to manipulative cliffhangers or vague promises that never get delivered later down the page.
SeanRailk
Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at clicktowinonline 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.
RodolfoTealp
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at sentinelcapital 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.
