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.

Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at reliableonlinebuys extended that feeling across more pages, the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.
JuddFreen
Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to moveforwardtoday kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.
LedgerSlula
The way the post stayed on topic throughout without going on tangents was really refreshing, and a look at driftstonecollective kept that focused approach going, discipline like this in writing is rare and worth recognising because most writers cannot resist wandering off into related subjects that dilute their main point and confuse readers along the way.
Ronflaft
Most of the time I feel the open web is in decline and then I find a site like this, and a stop at goldentideemporium 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.
NormanBaf
Granted my mood today might be elevating my reading experience but I still think this is genuinely good, and a stop at wildhollowgoods reinforced that even discounted assessment, controlling for the mood adjustment that affects content perception this site still reads as substantively above average across multiple pieces I have read carefully today.
Bradfordcob
Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access, and a look at flexibleshoppingmart earned the same organisational priority, the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.
CarterMorry
Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at fastbuyingoutlet added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.
StuartNag
Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over simplebuyingworld the rest of the site looked equally promising, definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.

KeanuovEks
A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at dailyshoppingpoint extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.
Stefanzoomi
Worth a slow read rather than the fast scan I usually default to, and a look at bondvalue earned the same slower pace from me, content that resets my reading speed downward is content with substance worth absorbing and this site has produced that effect on me multiple times now over the last week here.
HarleyImiva
Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at learnandimprovefast continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.
JaredPoess
Really appreciate that the writer did not overstate the importance of the topic to make the post feel weightier, and a quick visit to learnandadvancehere maintained the same modest framing, content that is honest about its own scope rather than inflating itself is the kind I trust and return to repeatedly over time.
RicardoNoify
Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at actionpoweredpath pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.

Now noticing that the post benefited from being neither too short nor too long for its content, and a look at velourvalley continued that calibration of length, sites that match length to content rather than padding to hit some target are sites that respect both their material and their readers and this site does both.
Ernestnah
Different in a good way from the cookie cutter content that fills most blogs covering this area, and a stop at shopcurve kept showing me why, original thoughtful writing exists if you know where to look and this site has earned a place on my short list of those rare exceptions worth defending.
Isaacbog
Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at directionfirstnow earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.
HoracioCib
Came in skeptical of the angle and left mostly persuaded, and a stop at premiumshoppingzone 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.
LaineTor
Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at valuebuyingpoint kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.
JonathanDaw
Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at modernpurchasehub also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.
ThomasBek
Generally my comment to other readers about new sites is to wait and see but for this one I would jump to recommend now, and a look at totalshoppingcenter reinforced that early recommendation, the speed at which a site earns my recommendation is itself a quality signal and this one has earned mine quickly clearly.
RicardoPsymn
Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at simplebuyingworld kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.
Trentpailk
Now noticing how rare it is to find a site that does not feel rushed, and a look at velvetpinegoods 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.
Geraldner
Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at modernpurchasehub earned the same patient approach, content that rewards slow reading rather than speed is content with real density and the writers here are clearly producing work that benefits from the careful eye rather than the rushed scan.
Quincywen
Did not expect much when I clicked through but ended up reading the whole thing carefully, and a stop at corporatepartnershipnetwork kept that engagement going, sometimes the unassuming sites turn out to deliver more than the flashy ones which is something I have learned to look out for over time online lately and across topics.
Williamtok
Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at discoverprofessionalgrowth kept me in that careful reading mode, the kind of writing that demands attention by being worth attention is rare in a media environment full of content engineered to be skimmed not read with any real focus today.
Thomasreato
Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at clicktolearnandgrow pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.
Tuckeradero
Skipped the comments to avoid spoilers and came back later to find them genuinely worth reading, and a stop at everydaydealshop extended that surprised respect, when the discussion below a post matches the quality of the post itself you have found something special and this site appears to attract that kind of audience.
HassanTic
Now considering the post as evidence that careful blog writing is still possible, and a look at flexibleshoppingoutlet extended that evidence, the broader question of whether the modern web can sustain quality writing has obvious empirical answers in sites like this one and seeing them is reassuring even when they remain a minority overall today.
Rockyhip
Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at futurefocusedshopping 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.
TristanBug
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 globalbuyingmarket 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.
NevilleTrade
Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at smartdealshoppingpoint suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.
CoreyOthem
Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at builddigitalgrowthpaths 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.
Rickymaync
The clarity here is something I really appreciate, especially compared to sites that pile on jargon for no reason, and a look at discoverbetterapproaches was the same, simple direct sentences that actually deliver information instead of dancing around the point for paragraphs at a time which wastes reader patience.
HarleyFeday
Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at modernretailbuyinghub extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.
Liamloora
Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at learnandscaleintelligently prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.
ManuelQuawl
Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at clicktolearnstrategically only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.
YusufEnaft
Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at longtermbusinesspartnerships kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.
Kendab
Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to bondunity continued that consistent feel, when a site reads like one careful person rather than a committee the experience is more rewarding for the reader who notices these subtle editorial details over time.
EdgarSed
Reading this gave me a small framework I expect to use going forward, and a stop at trustedpartnershipframework extended that framework, content that produces transferable mental models rather than just specific facts is content with multiplicative value and this site is providing those models at a rate that justifies extra attention from me regularly.
TerryFlows
Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at exploregrowthideas 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.
Gilbertpex
Felt the post was written for someone like me without explicitly addressing me, and a look at trusteddealstore produced the same fit, when content lands on its target without pandering you know the writer has done careful audience thinking rather than relying on demographic targeting or interest signals to do the work of editorial decisions.
Geralddap
Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at trustedshoppingzone 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.
Andremew
Decided after reading this that I would check this site weekly going forward, and a stop at everydaybuyinghub reinforced that commitment, deciding to add a site to a regular rotation requires meeting a quality bar that very few places clear and this one cleared it cleanly without any noticeable effort or marketing push behind it.
GrahamZen
Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at bestshoppingchoice kept that generous outbound feel, citing other peoples work with real respect rather than just for ranking signals is a sign of an honest operation worth supporting going forward.
PhilipFet
Honestly thank you to whoever wrote this because it scratched an itch I had not quite been able to articulate, and a stop at nextgenshoppinghub kept that satisfying feeling going, the kind of writing that meets unspoken needs is special and this site clearly has writers who understand their readers more than most do today.
Chandleramiff
Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at valuebuyingpoint extended that adjustment, content that affects my structural understanding rather than just my factual knowledge is content with deeper impact and this site is providing those structural updates at a meaningful rate consistently across topics.
Damionnow
Going to share this with a friend who has been asking the same questions for a while now, and a stop at clickfornewperspectives 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.
MarcusIonix
Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at stockmrtktlite rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.
